This is a pretty big change in policy. Does anyone have any ideas on why they would shift policy this much? My only guesses would be the following in order of likelihood: 1) Expected court rulings 2) Cost of compliance with no real legal o

Exactly what I was thinking. The ability to reliably predict human scores, says more about the terrible way we "standardize" creative writing, than about the quality of the algorithms. If the grading curve of an essay is a checklist how is

You are very right to question the interpretation of the subhuman argument. If someone has not been shot at or genuinely afraid for the life at the hands of another human being, it is very idealistic to say that the conversion of humans to

This is pretty common when someone has a lot of cash that is liable to capitol gains. If you sell the assets to the pat you can pay the taxes over time on the money that is distributed instead of paying the capitol gains all at once and lo
