I finally got all of my personal devices switched over the other day, so far not missing anything. Just need a password manager and then maybe email accounts.

Using his own terminology here. He says in the piece that bad faith is often 'incorrectly' defined as ill intent, and my argument is that the ill intent is a package deal.

Can I argue that misrepresenting yourself in an argument intentionally is, in fact, done with ill intent an overwhelming majority of the time.

Ah yes, Google the benevolent gatekeeper to my user interest metrics, surely not to sell them to anyone who is willing to pay the smallest pittance upon mere request.

Yeah that is the further complication with "the algorithm", it means different obfuscations in different contexts. Also further is that nearly every type of machine learning or automated process invariably references "the algorithm" or several such manufactured deities which we somehow cannot control or improve meaningfully once deployed.

Techfash use of algorithm is absolutely as a condensation of the concept of an unknowable invisible hand that the thought police uses to determine what is fit for you to consume - i.e. they made it, then demonize it because rightwing content is deprioritized because nobody wants to hear that shit all the time. It is at once a method of controlling information, but also a convenient scapegoat for the right to blame their limited reach on and claim as a liberal censorship tool.

Ah yes, computer programming, the leader in biological sciences.

It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.

Probably stems from the altright concept that universities are indoctrination centers designed to homogenize entire generations to liberal thought.

Oh I am aware, but the claim they are reporting on is pretty staggering.

It's the trade school they send all the drones through after they hatch

I will not, because his lies are dangerous and deserve to be ridiculed.

"smart and hardworking people" aside, the normalization and dismissal of these statements as just marketing or otherwise harmless fibs has enabled a consistent escalation of scope and affect. Design shortcuts that Tesla has made have resulted in actual death and injury, and claiming that the cars have agi even in a rudimentary sense is astonishing.

 

I don't have anything to say that the title doesn't already. Consider my gast to be flabbered, my gob to be smacked. I hate this timeline.

 

Thanks for this, UN.

 

Disclaimer, I am no engineer but why wouldn't you build in a check position of accelerator pedal to the condition handling logic? What possible reason could there be other than incompetence, expedience or negligence?
