With Google manipulating AI results this is not guaranteed to work, but would help identify the human intervention.


Which means it is not really artificial intelligence. Maybe the culture at Google prevented someone from raising this very issue. It’s almost like they ran a search, didn’t like the results, and someone said that results must include diversity equity and inclusion. So they deliberately programmed the algorithm to include diversity, equity and inclusion in all results and thereby negated any AI.


Why do you assume that real intelligence is not just heavily editorialized when it's in humans? In fact I'm pretty sure it is.

If you mean that neural networks are flawed things, not "perfect" intelligence like the Star Trek computer, then yeah, that's pretty obvious. Probably Star Trek assumed that perfect rule-based AIs, like IBM tried to build in the 1960s and 1970s were going to really work at some point, but keep having their "typical" fraud (such as getting totally stuck on a very regular basis for very dumb reasons)


This kind of deadlock should not happen. I think it’s indicative of what has gone wrong with the United States. Congress, nobody is willing to give an inch, and everything is a personal fight to the death.


Full disclosure, I have a Tesla and I love it. I have access to superchargers and home charging, and it has not really increased my utility bill. We should all want emissions free driving, I don’t think that is the issue, but to get there the quality of the vehicle, charging networks, and driving behavior will have to change. I am ok with having both ICE and EVs, let people choose, but I also believe in the long run emissions free will win out. Today it’s EVs but who knows where we might go.


As with everything, it’s all about enforcement.


Makes you wonder if social isolation is a cause of dementia, thinking less means less brain stimulation.


I’ve wondered if what we need in society are nonprofits that advocate exclusively against certain evil and nefarious corporations. Imagine what an org could do with a few million and a mission to combat Comcast and expose their behavior. One organization whose mission is to expose Amazon’s bad behavior. A PR check on monopolies.

Consumer Affairs, etc. do good work, but we need a more 1:1 relationship.


They're called the New York Attorney General and the Southern District of New York.


Probably turn out like the Mozilla Foundation and hundreds of other foundations giving piles of money to do good, which ends up meaning do good for the directors of the foundation.


Arguably permissible hard drug use has been a disaster. Maybe we need government disassociation houses where you can feed an addiction or desire, but carefully managed. I don’t see how that is possible when hard drugs are so pervasive and unyielding in general.


Agreed. There is a utopian naïveté that reminds me of trust fund kids.


pribacy. There are other things but when you get down to it, it’s privacy. To not be observed and create your own space is natural..
