So many misconceptions in this writeup. Here's one: even if it were genetic, there could be triggering environmental factors that trigger the onset of autism (I'm just giving a hypothetical example, not making a claim here).

It says to read the complete history. Would that be analogous to reading all of one's chat threads, or just the history of the relevant chat thread that it's a part of?

Public posts on the internet are acceptable (to me). For my (private) prompts, I need a warning telling me they may be used for training.

There is no fine-print (let alone a loud banner) on the chat thread page that tells me my prompts can be used for training.

Only after reading this post did I learn that my preferred AI trains on my inputs (prompts). How was I not aware of this before?

can this clue be circumvented by using magnets oriented in a certain way around the workshop while constructing the pottery?

I love this. We need more whimsy. Unfortunately, refinement culture is taking over. Even the new McDonald's design is "private equity" refined.

You are not wrong. I wonder how it manages to find the middle ground in controversial topics. My own extreme views have become somewhat moderated thanks to reading AI-LLM opinions and reasonings on the topics.

This is where the Gemini "ask about this page" button on Chrome comes handy. It was about 1 meter long (as another commenter pointed out) and lived around 400 million years ago.

Because mom is not around, so now he can go where he wants? You must believe that people in society follow all the expectations? Especially children?

are these the same workers who pluck vegetables while they're being sprayed with pesticides and herbicides?

They are also the cream of the crop from their respective nations. Diplomats and bankers.

^^^ This is exactly what I meant. People and groups with unlimited grievances (and, unfortunately, associated revenge fantasies). Switzerland has less of this. So you can send your 5-year old for a long walk alone, knowing that your neighbo

She was always with him when he did that. Not the same as him doing it alone. Regardless, there are local laws against this.

It's a high trust homogenous society without lots of different groups with all kinds of grievances about the past, present and the future. And it's probably rural, where everyone knows each other. When I read the headline, I sided

Correct. I implied nothing about visualizing. I was talking about (information) capacity.

The human mind cannot comprehend the capacity of massively multidimensional space. Just going from 2D to 3D creates massive new positional potential (e.g. surface of the earth, vs. the atmosphere above earth...). Now imagine 1,000 dimension

A correction: I meant to write that India had "private" companies making planes before and during WW2. They were nationalized by Nehru into a government owned plane manufacturing entity. This entity is currently struggling to buil

While on the subject of alternative colonialism: This is very controversial among Indians, but there are many among Indians who wish the British never left. The major builder of modern Delhi was a person named Sobha Singh. His son, Khushwan

So does it therefore reduce stress? Anyone?

I forgot to mention another reason earlier: Rape. European colonial powers were also all over the world so that their men could have easy access to rape without consequences. (Read up, e.g., Columbus' diaries.)

When SE's cannot agree on the meaning of a tool, it indicates the tool is a placeholder for desire.

However: The European colonial powers were not all over the world to enforce "European cultural values". They were there to extract minerals, lumber, labor, and agricultural produce for as little a price they could pay.

So is the challenge, now, getting the right sort of data?
