Last year I had the misfortune of having to visit doctors for non-hospital related condition. It is a miserable experience. I got charged a lot for simple (scheduled for 15-30m, but ended early) follow up appointments, finding a specialist

That's a fair point. I agree that there could be systemic racism, which is exactly what it is in this case. When most people say "racist" they don't mean "bias" or "systemic racism", but the overt kin

Its not racist because it wasn't meant to be prejudicial or to treat different races discriminately. It has an unfortunate bias (without racist intent), that hopefully will reduce and go away with better models. Apple and Google have a

I don't really agree with the comparison to Web3. LLMs have real world use cases as an interface. It might not replace most current software/systems/processes but act as an interface to these, especially voice. This alone has

Honestly, when you're driving, you sometimes only see the car in front of you. You might see it slowing down first, and you start slowing down, or continue because there is enough distance anyway. Then the car in front of you stops abr

In the police report, out of the 8 cars, only 3 cars were noted to have been driving unsafe for the stopped traffic ahead. The rest of the cars were propelled into the car in front by the car behind them hitting them.

Its not even remotely close. Women have a right to wear what they want without being raped for it. People don't have to drive dangerously too close and expect to not get in an accident.

Legal immigrants mostly in white-collar jobs. If you get out of status, you cannot be employed legally.
