It's funny how disconnected from reality so many people are in this thread.

If it were not for ICE you'd have infinite illegals in this country.

This normalization of illegals will be studies as a mental illness in the future.

>> Right? Let's just keep this list as a list of people who should never hold office, or work in law enforcement ever again once Trump goes.

Great way to ensure your project not ever being used in any serious venture.

Code can be Art, just don't complain when people don't use it for real projects.

The entire GDPR is clownish anyway, alongside cookie banners.

Everything should just be trashed, your personal data is everywhere already, it's the price of using social media.

Often doctors miss rare diseases and gaslight patients that they don't have them.

AI is great for this since it has encyclopedic knowledge.

Yes because the EU countries really love the truth.

See: reasons for Ukraine war and immigration gaslighting, Paris.

Where was Terence Tao where other workers were being replaced by immigrants, robots and other automation?

Academics and white collars now get to experience what blue collar workers experienced in the past.

Same as what developers in USA experienced who were and are getting replaced by Indians.

Author conflates "why do kids want to learn in the first place" with "chatbots only teach mechanisms".

All public and most private schools already only teach mechanisms.

With chatbots you can at least ask it a hundrer times to explain something if you don't get it, you can't do that with teachers, most of whom just rattle about their curricilum.

Midwit article.

People like the author actually belive that there is no chance of real world interactions happening.

Eg what is the bacteria jumps to some other organism? What if it mutates? What if the birds eat the mosquitoes and carry a mutated bacteria elsewhere?

There is a reason why you need autistic level safety for such projects, and even then things like this might happen.

It's completely impossible to guarantee theses things, no matter how long you study it in a lab.

Some people just aren't capable of thinking more than 1 step ahead.

Okay, now, when AI and robots can do surgeries and advise people better than modern doctors do (the bar is not that high, ask anyone with an autoimmune disease or gut issues)...

>> The truth is that we don’t really know what exactly makes love work, such that we can articulate and implement it on a societal scale. It’s too messy, too complex, too idiosyncratic, and too human. Anyone who claims otherwise probably has a course to sell you on negging and pickup artistry.

The author, who is a gay man, obviously didn't study any pickup material since if he would he'd realize how wrong he is. If he'd study pickup material and the surrounding works he'd realize that what women write in these preferences is completely meaningless so his example of meeting a guy as a guy on this website is completely useless for men meeting women, since women do not work like that.

All of these algorithmic matching will become totaly useless and wrong depending on the behaviour of the male. In a completely mismatched pair the women will fawn over the guy if his behaviour is congruent with what attracts females. And even on a complete match the women will run away in panic if the guy is a total tool sexual-behaviour-wise to what (dis)attracts women.

Also: nothing will solve marriage problem as long as women are in the workforce.

Look up books by Rollo Tomassi, he has a blog and has written on these topics if you are one of those "citation needed" people.

I've been of similar opinion but since Opus it is there, here and right now.
