Yea, it's like people don't understand that it's a probability machine. We're steering it to the best probable outcome.

It's not magic, it's math.

I feel like the obvious answer this topic is circling is that the left expresses more empathy to those outside their immediate circles (caring for the planet), while the right focuses their empathy inwardly (family values.)

I think this is bait because it's the sort of thinking that 'feels right' without thinking too hard about it.

I view the current tools as more of a multiplier of base skill.

A 1x engineer may become a 5x engineer, but a -1x will also produce 5x more bad code.

Can you say more as to why? The concept is not complex and in our situation at least provides a lot of benefits.
