   Agreed. It feels like a dialect issue. However the quality of the underlying ideas is good enough that I pushed through. Good analogy.

   I see from the Google Request for Permission interface that Signal wants to "View your email message metadata such as labels and headers, but not the email body". That's way too sensitive for me to give away in exchange for u

    I'm excited to see the phrase "attention inequality". I've had similar thoughts for a few years and suspect that's a fertile line of inquiry. I haven't gotten far enough along in thinking about it to say anyth

    I'm old too but you should think harder about this. You can learn from bitter experience, and you also can learn from the detailed accounts written by others. Don't begrudge the youngins the chance to learn from other people&#x27

    No aspiring or self-respecting AI researcher could take an article like this at face value. "The largest concentration of independent AI researchers in the world"? Citation needed. Better yet, data.

    You can gain insight into human problems by noting that these sources of bias all pertain to natural intelligence as well.

    I disagree 100% with you. I love comments like GP. Any new tool should be considered in comparison to the other tools one might use for the same job. Is Grafana "barely related even tangentially"? No it is quite related. Have t

    They have their work cut out for them, but not in the way you think. Remember that it's easy for an SC2 AI to beat a human if there are no constraints such as APM. So if and when the AI wins, the humans are going to complain that the
