Of course, when a random PR declares they have trained a ML to detect Covid with 95% accuracy, the public answer is "Why are governments not doing this?" .

- ashtonkem 6y agoFor whatever reason, the public seems to have a “newer is better” bias, where new techniques and materials are assumed to be inherently better. This often creates confusion and surprise when people learn that sometimes newer techniques are cheaper or more convenient but not better in every dimension; such as the fact that well developed 35mm film beat out the alternatives until very recently.[0] It’s not clear to me if this bias is a result of marketing/current society, or if it’s an innate part of what drives us to make new stuff as a species. 0 - https://youtu.be/rVpABCxiDaU https://youtu.be/rVpABCxiDaU
