If some animals are going to be euthanised, would you rather you euthanise at random, or euthanise those who are likely not going to be adopted anyway.
The problem here isn't AI, it's the problem of pet ownership. This problem has existed. And you are criticising an imperfect attempt at solving a part of this problem, because the solution isn't perfect.
>but don't start excluding one-off noob contributors. Open source is open for a reason.
The idea isn't that excluding noobs is good. But that noobs are coming in not because they want to contribute, but because they want to pad their resume. In doing so, they have diluted the pool in a way that they will not even be padding their resume.
You should test your SD cards as you receive them. Many applications that can do that. Even legit SD cards from well known manufacturers are not without defects.
We want to delude ourselves that everybody has the capability to be a doctor, programmer, engineer, successful business owner etc. We ban employees from using IQ tests, when SAT scores correlate strongly with IQ. Then the best companies hire from the best universities where the best students with the highest SAT go i.e. they just hire the highest IQ people in each year slot.
To fund this delusion we would then have to make university available to everybody, as if a degree is in a vacuum a token of value and not the fact that a degree is relatively scarce. A degree when everybody has one isn't worth as much as when only 50% of people have one.
And of course the law of supply/demand makes degrees more expensive when everybody has one, but makes the degrees less useful economically when everybody has one. Double-dipped.
creating mountain to get more precipitation sounds good until you realise that the optimum strategy is either forest spam or getting weather control and then borehole and condensor spam.
The riches already gave back, because they got rich making things people want.
>We need more civic-minded leadership across the population, not less. The greed is just excessive.
This is the wishful thinking that statists will always use. the state will be fine if only people would be better. Well people are not better and never will be, so we need a system whereby we do not grant people, who will never be better, power over their fellow men.
people still die more driving to the airport than in a plane crash.
The fact that people smoke, drive while texting, drive drunk, don't exercise and so on, show that they don't really care about not dying. They just like to complain when dying is caused by somebody else.
No. The free market voted that they don't care about long term availability as long as they get cheap supply right now.
You reap what you sow.
