Do you have any tricks you can share on how to rip a large library of CDs? It would be nice to semi-automate the ripping process but I haven't found any tools to help with that. Also the MusicBrainz audio tagging library (the only open one I am aware of?) almost never has good tags for my CDs that don't have to be edited afterwards.
Ignorance (especially pride about it) is so infuriating because it suggests to people that their knowledge about something is not in any way essential to humans. And this is true about Excel. If someone told me they hadn't heard of WWII or the moon landing then I would be right to be angry as it is information that is really essential to all of us. For anything else, we really shouldn't waste our energy on this infinite source of anger.
This is the first time I have heard of that woman, I bet nobody cares about it here. Perhaps other people would be mad about it in the same way you are about her not knowing Excel. I won't disagree with you though that it is very tempting to get annoyed by it :)
I think the tweet misses the point of these demonstrations. AI has the potential of being a dangerous technology and it's good that people are showing how it can be fooled into doing things it shouldn't.
This is also one of the reasons I enjoy playing older games. 2D RPGs such as Baldur's Gate to me aren't detailed enough to fully depict the game world, therefore my imagination fills in the gaps. This leads to a significant part of the game being played in my head which I think can create more immersion sometimes than more photorealistics games would, though I'm not saying this is a general rule.
Your first comment sounds like it is saying something different than what the quote says. The quote just says: Ice melts due to current global warming, things get revealed in the ice. Where is the ambiguity?
But why is that a problem? I do not disagree with you about the crisis (at all!), but the only reason we care is because we're human beings - because we defined this to immoral and also because it endangers human (and other) beings lives. IMO, I find it makes very little logical (and frankly also moral) sense to say as a human being that wildlife conservation is more important than the lives of other human beings.
I know you're not saying quite the same, but this reminds me a bit of an "unpopular opinion" I came across once, which stated that people must die because there are too many people living on earth...
