There's no broad demographic that isn't selfish, greedy and irresponsible. Rich people have somewhat more power to be irritating.

At this point I’d love to have a Harvard educated Civics professor explain exactly what the US Department of Education actually does. To the US Department of Education.
Gives out money for special ed, sets standards, and makes sure schools aren't discriminating against black kids (you don't think they would actually do that, do you?)

But yours is a country that along with Myanmar and Liberia can't embrace the metric system because reasons.
In America, we use both systems because mental math is easy for us.

Noting that it is good to hear that individual happiness and well being are not correlated to how much money you have.
That's not what the study said. The study said that happiness is not correlated to inequality. Inequality is different than how much money you have.
If you're going to criticize a study, at least think first.

Yes, as you correctly pointed out, both parties have settled on "less taxes and more benefits." The only disagreement is who gets the benefits.

No, the normal amount of promotions.
If two managers do well and deserve a promotion, one of them has to stab the other in the back.

Guido van Rossum said, without realizing that he was saying it... that nobody should have to make code that isn't aesthetically pleasing and that can't be made to look like a series of poetic stanzas.
I agree with him.
That's why I don't use Python.

We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.

It's not a thought piece, it's a corporate diktat. He doesn't give any reasoning supporting his ideas. It's not a balanced rationale.
The proper way to use this piece is if you are an employee at Microsoft, now you know what you need to do to get a promotion. Find a way to measure the positive impact of AI, and the Nadela will be happy. No need to worry about what's real, only about what Nadela will like. It's actually clear and informative for people who read it like that.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, it's nonsense. It's just noise in the blogosphere, because the CEO of Microsoft is no more important than any other boke with a bog.
