"For an assignment testing students' ability to make evidence-based arguments, they participate in a simulated school board meeting about banning books. It involves debating chatbots designed by Zeleny with names like the Confrontational Parent."

This a VERY thinly veiled parallel to a hotly divided political issue that teachers/unions [and chatbot trained bias] tend be on one side of and the majority of the public, parents, and truth on the opposite of. Given that adults of the highest levels of performance in our society, be it professional achievement, economic achievement, political achievement, IQ, and education disagree on the matter it sounds like what the teacher is likely testing is alignment with her own ideology and not evidence-based arguments.

I saw the same thing in many of my own courses, examples and material used in classes [especially logic classes like critical thinking] that taught and test concepts through distilled 'analogs' to popular political issues with an attempt to appear neutral and present both sides while actually presenting a weakened strawman of one side the argument and consistently that strawman was on the same side. Cleverly these were not the topics for essays where students spent effort on time and research and independent thought but the class examples that most would never look at additional material on... simply walk away believing they formed a valid independent judgement at the pinnacle of their own education.

Flock is just like the body cams â" they have a âoeoops nothing was recordedâ mode of plausible malfunction in that perfect 98% uptime that captures the officer ordering a Biggie Meal but not beating a suspect.

Bit since itâ(TM)s a business the âoeFlock cam was mysteriously not recording at that point at that timeâ is a feature that will cost more.

Anyone here not figure Iran was targeting soldiers using cell phones?

And of course he goal of all the slop we put on our phones is to put trackers on. A hundred data brokers are pinging our every move.

And it wonâ(TM)t stop. Capitalism will truly sell you the rope to hang it with.

Very appropriate for the USA to lose a war this way. Itâ(TM)s pathetic and stupid.

It has nothing to do with being cowards, they are robots. It's a case of saving a little money at the expense of being excluded from a lot of money.

Piracy laws are very effective... for curbing intentional piracy in businesses because they have too much to lose to break laws like these and they are basically robots with instructions to follow the law.

But they won't outlaw these, what they'd do is prohibit companies that use them from government work/contracts and the government gives away WAY too much of our money to give that up.

This isnâ(TM)t about saving money or helping educators. This is the same thing as removing trollies so that people buy cars. Itâ(TM)s about control.

We think this is the economy. But we wouldnâ(TM)t need prison if we spent that same money helping people instead of incarceration. It costs more than housing and college.

There is more money spent spying on each American than helping them. What if we find that âoelow costâ AI actually costs much more than we are told. Why are we using it?

Take away the air and sell it to us.

But the US and Israel already have nukes.

âoeDeterrenceâ is the extra terrorism you keep in reserve.

It requires at least ten years of education from a reputable source to be offended by the prior comment.

They program an AI to abuse people and then blame the AI for the abuse.

This is why Iâ(TM)m putting original sin on the creator. You made the kids that way dad. Itâ(TM)s on you.

âoeA burden for generations.â

Only if we allow it. Go socialist and change the rules or continue the same path and end up in a forced labor camp. I donâ(TM)t see any middle ground here.

Itâ(TM)s not my debt any more than itâ(TM)s my yacht parked off Epstein island. Until we get class consciousness we are going to be forever in debt to someone elseâ(TM)s excess.

Is this a real human being saying not having a monopoly is censorship?

The FCC works for the bad guys. Larry Ellison will soon have half the media. News Corp and Doctor Evil control the rest.

These discussions are so weird. Itâ(TM)s like being in the Mad Max world where warlords fight over water and oil and someone is talking about tax incentives. Do we even live on the same planet? The country is nearly a fascist dictatorship and we have masked ICE Agents kidnapping people for camps. Why are we still arguing about anything? All conservative and neoliberal policies have done their work ruining the country. Thereâ(TM)s no trickle in the trickle down â" thereâ(TM)s just humidity.

Listening to these quaint conversations about the business is news is so 30 years ago. We should have a public funded source. We should have public finance of elections.

Itâ(TM)s too late. Thereâ(TM)s more being spent on bunkers than water infrastructure right now.

This is ignoring the corporate interests and rampant propaganda. We can pontificate about the feedback loop of confirmation bias, but thereâ(TM)s not a news outlet that isnâ(TM)t giving tips to North Korea right now.

To have a democracy you need valid information. What we have is totally manipulated pretense of a meritocracy and PR for war crimes.

At this point itâ(TM)s just grifters and suckers and a few people opting out or depressed. Itâ(TM)s too late to repair the corruption. The best we can have is a reset with none is the rich people involved in the solution. The status quo is the problem and nobody in the media could see it to report a solution.

If you point out a significant demographic that is perhaps useful so others can make assumptions.

As I assume you point out that Americans are 75% white so we can afford 71% unemployment of white peoples?

I can explain; the theory is that we want a deadbeat tenant who pays nothing in rent versus an absentee tenant who pays their rent.

If I canâ(TM)t look at Elon Musk every day prancing around with a cheese hat and pretending to understand rockets I donâ(TM)t know what Iâ(TM)d do.
