The solution is: don't read it

>> people don't copy the speech of people outside their group who they don't identify with

I don't think this is true. Words and phrases from specific sub-cultures filter across to the broader culture all the time.

Example: bling, hater, player, stan, flex all had origins in Black hip-hop culture but now are used generally at least in the U.S.

People who are unable to comment on the underlying technology or capabilities because they don't know or don't care to inform themselves sure can feel good that they have an opinion on pelican art.

>> this is all that managers know to do: take a metric and try to optimize the heck out of it. They don't care about research, technology

This is not true. It is needless negative hyperbole that IMHO doesn't belong on HN.

Do you know what "sorry" means in the context of Lean?

Why is this important? Do you not think that at some point, probably sooner rather than later, math researchers across the world will have access to similar capabilities?

This is sort of like discounting putting humans in space because only a few nations have the means to actually do it at the moment.

This is great.

>> What happens when politicians can no longer lie without being caught out live on air?

A 5-second delay on a politician's presser. Any lies will be muted in real time and the actual facts presented onscreen. Continue to lie enough, and the politician gets unstreamed.
