right, but you can only tell what’s used as a verb after you’ve parsed it.

That’s absurd, the AI is not more costly than a human worker, it’s just not as capable. The energy cost of a human alone is greater than that of any AI agent that would take its place. If you really think that AI costs that much energy, you just don’t have a sense of scale. The server-farm costing a lot overall does not at all mean that an individual API call is expensive.

In that case, we should encourage google to go all-in on climate change, racism, and war; they should back the conservative party as well. Then 90% of those will fail.

AI is not needed to automate the control of the human race. I feel like it’s already an essentially automated problem from the rich’s perspective.

“I’m not attracted to feet, which is a relief, because to be attracted to feet is immoral” – presumably the opinion of social conservatives regarding homosexuals instead of feet.
- Comment on The New York Times Just Published Some Bizarre Race Science About Asian Women 1 week ago:
Interesting! I wouldn’t have expected germans and chinese people to have similar hand sizes, given their heights differ.
The study you linked right off the bat claims that women from the Philippines have markedly larger hand sizes than other women. I notice that analysis doesn’t include standard deviation or calculate statistical significance. It also looks like women from vietnam have smaller hand sizes, which is not surprising to me, because people from vietnam tend to be shaped in a way that is different from people from other countries, though I don’t know why.

To be clear, you’re saying that asian women typically having smaller hands is dubious?
- Comment on The New York Times Just Published Some Bizarre Race Science About Asian Women 1 week ago:
The use of “race science” in this headline has been bugging me and I only just realized why. Questionable race science would be claiming that e.g. asian women think in some particularly useful way, or any other specific claim about race that is hard to prove. But it’s actually quite easy to show asian women have small hands, I assume – at least, it seems to me like asian women do tend to have much smaller hands than men of other races. This is not the dubious claim. The dubious claim is whether those smaller hands are useful or not.
I am not really sure what to make of this, I’m still grappling with this one. Just thought I’d share my scattered thoughts.

that does seem plausible.

TLDR
“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.” […]
there doesn’t seem to be a lick of evidence […] that small hands are preferable for manufacturing small devices. The closest thing we could find was a paper that found that surgeons with smaller hands actually had a harder time manipulating dextrous operating tools, which would seem to contradict the NYT’s claim that small hands are an advantage for small specialized movements.
(…so should they be hiring big white men instead? Not clear to me how this article thinks that’s a rebuttal of the ‘race science’)

Oh I didn’t say they would do that. Nor do I think it would solve any big problem AI is causing society. I’m just pointing out that there’s a simple rebuttal to his argument.

Halo. Not a hidden gem, but locked to xbox for a long time. (At least, co-op was.)
Best way to play is probably local co-op, but I imagine online is good too. Local co-op is only available on console sadly.

I doubt it. With that $500 billion dollar grant, you can hire people to make art to train on. That’s a LOT of money.

For the really powerful ones, but for instance I think spider man is better defined by what he CAN do, which is actually a pretty small list.

Not until you finally get it right, and at that point you look like a total freak to everyone else. But at least you’re satisfied.

Then you’re just a normal alien. The idea behind the kryptonite is that it weighs you down your whole life living on planet krypton – when you finally are free of it, you’re superpowered. Without kryptonite, there’s no superman.
