I'm all for informed consent - publish the data - but leave the choice to the individual. The goal of education is self-improvement, not necessarily/only money.
The way student debt is (mis)managed is a different issue.
Or perhaps you don’t have a girlfriend because you spend time making lists of qualifications and over-analyzing things that don’t matter instead of putting yourself out there and seeing what happens. Let go of your fantasy expectations, you don’t get to design/specify whom you love.
"he United States of America, established to overthrow a mad king, has elected, 250 years later, a mad king of its very own. America is setting itself on fire at its birthday party"
‘“Insulting" either religious beliefs or the head of state has the potential to prompt a criminal investigation in Turkey, despite its nominally secular constitution and guarantees of free speech’
I do not believe that the current machines are conscious, but cannot categorically deny the possibility.
The author’s take on the Turing Test is a common misconception - Turing did not propose that the machine fool a human into believing that it was human, but rather that the machine fool a man into believing that it was a woman.
The author’s reference to Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem and Turing’s Halting Problem are also misguided: humans are in no way immune from such logical traps (“will your answer to this question be negative?“)
'“Welcome, but be good” is not the language of citizenship.
It is the language of a landlord. Or a bouncer. Or a king.'
Double creepy with the dog-growling posture in the picture, with a side of dumb, as passports are not visas.
The point about merging the "brand" of the USA with the "brand" of Trump is spot on; definitely a disturbing pattern here. Narcissist of fascist? Why not both?
I come here to read what people I respect are saying about relevant political items - are we watching a 250-year-old republic die from 1000 premeditated cuts, or just a temporary trainwreck of incompetence? Or both? How much direct and collateral damage can the Republic withstand?
Will the "military-industrial complex" end up controlling civilian access to AI models? Seems like that just started. It is a 1st Amendment violation? Probably... But knowledge is power so maybe not.
If only politicians would stay out of tech business, and tech oligarchs would stay out of politics, and technology would stop changing the world...
At an abstract level, we are watching a very slow rules-based system attempt to defend and repair itself from internal corruption and external threats.
