I believe that, especially in software, we don't ask ethical questions up front and just start solving puzzles. If and when people start asking themselves these questions, their only options are to rationalize away the harm their work

Speaking as a software developer, this makes me hate software developers. Why can we only use computers to (further) enrich the absolute worst of the weasels?

>return to meritocracy, colour-blind hiring Yeah, let's "return" to that. Let's "go back" to the good old pre-racism days that we all remember that totally happened. Please enlighten me as to when this perio

I live in the Phoenix area and I have seen these vehicles do make maneuvers more ridiculous things than any confused tourist. I give Waymos a wider berth than anything else on the road.

Are you sure about that? I know the agreement says thst, but you would you be shocked if they trained on paying client data? It's not like OpenAI has a rich and storied history of respecting legal agreements.

It's sad that your political agenda doesn't include basic human decency or shame. Anway, have fun figuring out how to justify protecting pedophiles. I believe that Charlie Kirk already has some new beliefs for you to swap in.

With regard to ICE performing mass deportations, are you okay with ICE agents pointing guns at children? Are you comfortable with ICE functioning as a secret police force? I, personally, am not. It is therefore within my prerogative to prot

It's called "empathy." It's apparently a bad word to modern conservatives, but it's been a key driver of every modern comfort that we enjoy.

There absolutely is. If you're absolutely gunning to get a billion dollars you won't be comfortable with any amount of money. These people are hungry ghosts.

Unfortunately, that's not how someone gets that third comma in their net worth. The billionaires that so much of American society worship didn't make all of that money by being smart, kind, honest, or ethical. They made it by bein

Your argument leaves out the chilling effect of gerrymandering on implementing the will of the people.

We should probably keep nukes away from these NAR whackadoodles and their puppets as well.

Please, please, please don't buy this if you are a true Trump supporter. As a filthy liberal, I would be so upset, triggered even, if I saw you using this obviously superior and well-designed phone.

It's actually quite simple. Ted Kennedy was elected by a plurality of his constituents many, many times. There was a campaign for each one of his terms and he won. Not so much "hired" as "elected." If the Republican

Wouldn't that changed law encompass the automated software as well, thereby being in violation? I am not a lawyer, but the ridiculously broad language in the spending bill doesn't seem to leave much room for that sort of thing.

It's considerate of them to start with an Ayn Rand quote. That lets me know that what I'm about to read hasn't been considered seriously and shouldn't be taken as such.

Poor, poor Russia. They're the real victims in all of this.

Respectfully, you're chalking a lot of this administration's questionable behavior that consistently benefits Russia up to temporarily aligned goals based on his fragile ego and fear of rightful imprisonment. I'm not saying t

You obviously understand how these actions benefit the country of which Donald Trump is the President. Why don't you explain it to the rest of the class?

by Smeevy 1y ago
I think the problem here is that there isn't just one way in which Donald Trump is unduly influenced by Russia in ways that are difficult to explain. I can understand being skeptical, but there's several independent actions Trum

The most effective ones would be leveraging their contacts and being "in the room" when customers are discussing the problems to which they need solutions.

An LLM is not "just wrong" either. It's just bullshit. The bullshitter doesn't care about if what they say is true or false or right or wrong. They just put out more bullshit.

I hate to say it, but I'm really okay either way as I think about it more. I'd prefer to stay aligned with politicians who don't "go low", but I can also see the benefit of forcing our far-Right extremist party ha
