Many of these issues you list can be overcome by good coding practise. Although I understand that the framework/languages used allowed for these bad feats. I wonder how Rust with its focus on memory safety could play out in such scenar

Thank you for the link. The comments of the thought influencer do remind me the distorted discussions in the Economist's comment section I followed a couple of years ago. The topics that were heavily spammed were usually revolving ab

How do you know that cats, flies, and other lifeforms run their brains at the same "frequency" as humans? When it comes to comparing the sophistication, adaptivity and functions of life to the in-silico mashines we produce and
