What I'm seeing happen is that unis (and other affected institutions) are trying to get rid of diversity of opinion in favor of diversity of skin color/ethnicity, and... I find that reasoning nothing but racist.
Was wondering that and then told myself, come on, nobody would be that evil, the whole idea is nonsense. And you're suggesting there are websites out there that actually do that?
I don't get why Trump gets slammed by the media for talking to Kim Yong and walking back on Iran, or even trying to set up meetings with Taliban this month. Just because he's negociating doesn't mean negociating in itself is wrong, so I find that peculiar.
Listen to Eisenhower's farewell address and read up on JFK assassination, about which Trump so conveniently blocked a load of material until 2021. How much more important can the secret service be than the government?
Reminds me a bit of "get woke, go broke", except this time it looks a bit more like "go broke, get woke"... :)
Except I don't think that's what's happening with Hodent. As far as I can tell, she's pushing towards having a conversation, she's taking a stand against misinformation campaigns that the gaming industry is struggling with just like big pharma - think GMOs, vaccines et al.
I'll encourage all parties to actually have that conversation with Hodent, because otherwise she might just be the next person to be instrumentalised by the trolls and unproductive opinion-shaping forces out there.
That follow-up tweet freaks me out. What does that have to do with anything, really. I think it's rather unprofessional and would prefer people not make self-congratulatory statements about their personal beliefs.
> Full-stack development and architect are roles, not skill sets.
That's the thing the article seems to be glossing over categorically. I kept looking for the distinction between skill sets/productivity thing and what I'll just call jobtitle capitalism. You can't cash in on being master of none, but being a Jack-of-all-trades doesn't make you look competent either.
Probably none, but to be blunt, not everyone is willing to put their heads into such a noose. Anything banking involves a tradeoff of some sorts, eg. whether I'd like to have my data with or out of the next Equifax-like leak...
Seriously, give me a reason to trust these things, because I rather manage with what I have instead, and so far with little trouble. With what I'd call the upside of me consuming as little as possible from the international money mobsters. I do need some hardware once in a while, and the options there really could be better.
Good old capitalism cannot stop mixing reality and sale-speak, only if you start taking the "magic sauce" pitch for technical facts, it's no wonder you end up scaring yourself. On that same note, I kind of understand that AI researchers have this need to sell their craft as magic sauce. That's how selling things works, after all. Here we go in another cycle of debunking the same magic sauce as common snake oil.
In a more extreme form, someone once compared Peppa Pig with real health services. I'm somewhat painfully reminded of the ̶w̶a̶s̶t̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ scientific value that is this kind of content.
When I quit schools at a level that should have prepared me for "work", I left a place that had me running at full speed and flailing. Ever since I took hold in my career on my own terms, I knew that is probably the very elephant in any room I do not want to be in.
I have a reflex hearing this kind of thing to respond "no shit sherlock". Part of me is just too aware of so-called AI's shortcomings which is beautifully portrayed by https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/machine_learning.png
The joke is that business as usual is kind of aware and at the same time, to be economic, blissfully ignorant of these issues.
