That's ridiculous. Everybody is in it for the money. Employers choose how to measure performance, so if there is some particular attribute they want, they make it clear and hire (and raise pay) based on that.

I read the instructions and I understood what was meant. How do you explain that? Humans regularly make stupid mistakes. We shouldn't dumb down the world to try to avoid it. We should encourage people to be more careful

I think you have it backwards. I think anybody who is remotely interested in this topic would love for proof of aliens to come out. It's just such an extraordinary claim, that their skepticism demands extraordinary proof. Eyewitness re

Obviously the title is very wrong. The author says so themselves - if you fear for your safety, then a rating below 5 is completely reasonable. Which for me, has happened more than I am comfortable with. I haven't even taken Uber that

"hallucination" just means the AI produced incorrect information. Humans produce incorrect information all the time. But we know we are fallible. I've seen lots of people treating these AIs as infallible, that they can't

I'm not really sure what you're saying. It seems to me the number of shills creating content is vastly outnumbered by normal people creating content, so the trick of adding "reddit" to the end of queries is still very mu

They never claim to serve Australian food. Nobody says they are going out for some Australian food they way they might say they are going out to get Chinese food. It's an Australian themed restaurant. And much of the theme does actuall

I can't be certain, but I think they were implying that aggregate deaths spiked more than you would expect. Look at data here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm These numb

We all live by what our screens tell us. We don't know anything outside of our own direct experience without depending on others. And for the most part we choose to trust others and it usually works out ok. That's not religion - t
