Yes, because americans generally aspire to the quality of life enjoyed by the average chinese, iranian, indian and russian /s

I don't like most of what Mamdani has done, but this i can agree with. People make the comparison to calculators, but if you give kids calculators too early and they never learn basic arithmetic, they'll suffer for it later (even if they have a calculator to rely on!)

Holy false equivalency batman! Leave your moral panic in the '90s where it belongs, we've got a new moral panic now! Can't have kids listening to that heavy metal music or playing Dungeons and Dragons either.

Even if it doesn't remember the state, off is a better default then on, no? my Subaru Legacy has a default-on radio and it's always annoying.

Isn't the very thesis of using AI that average is good enough and everyone should strive to be as average as possible?

But they don't. The "AI Coders" do nothing but brag about their productivity, producing 50,000 lines of code in a day. You will never convince me that they're reading all of that.
