How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business
There is no clear path showing that today’s AI systems will lead to superintelligence, much less a basis for calculating the probability of doom.

Our municipality puts out a survey each year to help them be cowards with regards to policy and spending. two years running, itsthe most leading, biased survey I have ever encountered Like "Do our cops do enough to combat the rising crime rate? 🔳Yes they are so brave 🔳No, they deserve more money"

Based on experiences of people I know I think post secondary institutions are vulnerable to the type of person who preys on young people: drugging and then sexual assaulting them. I think we should keep a record, expel (and charge, if the police a shit), and bar enrolment to these predators

One of the most harrowing things about academia, when you're a grad student, is how vulnerable you are to how you're perceived by more senior researchers. Your career advancement depends on confidential letters of reference & private discussions amongst faculty. You have no information or control.

Same story with a friend of mine, who is now actually quite famous. She dropped out after my university refused to discipline the two men who raped her, and made her sit in the same class with her in her specialized major. Her planned entire career path ended immediately.

It's pretty common for people to dismiss parents who struggle helping their kids with common core math. But the problem is really a terminology thing. Your kid comes home with this worksheet and there's no explanation to the parent what "make a 10" means. And the kid can't remember!
Threads post from a person confused about her grandson's 2nd grade math homework.

The question says "Make a 10 to subtract. Write two subtraction equations to show how you can find 15 - 7"

Remember no matter what the corpo Liberals and Mark Carney table and pass, the airline employees were forced back to work by the Liberals and then continued to strike wildcat style anyways and got what they wanted. Labour of old was willing to literally take up arms. Fuck Carney. Power to labour.

Fun new conspiracy theory: AI chatbots are Sapient because they are probabilistic models, where ghosts of dead people are getting in there and skewing the outcome of the dice-rolls. So we are talking to ghosts. And any time they are "hallucinating" it's really just ghosts rambling on.
