I know it’s an awful headline. I’d still be interested in what people think of the content, because there’s something legit in there it seems, but this article (which is published on a number of websites and may be a fairly unedited press release) doesn’t explain much. The headline writers seem to see the word “battery” and run with that, even though it’s misleading.
You have to decode the newspeak:
Trump seems to use the same tactic.
Lol. Everyone’s avoiding the USA because we see their hospitality in the news every day.
Who are “you guys”?
He’s only saying it so we subconsciously associate the words “Ted Cruz” and “human”.
I tried to dictate some documents recently without paying the big bucks for specialized software, and was surprised just how bad Google and Microsoft’s speech recognition still is. Then I tried getting Word to transcribe some audio talks I had recorded, and that resulted in unreadable stuff with punctuation in all the wrong places. You could just about make out what it meant to say, so I tried asking various LLMs to tidy it up. That resulted in readable stuff that was largely made up and wrong, which also left out large chunks of the source material. In the end I just had to transcribe it all by hand.
It surprised me that these AI-ish products are still unable to transcribe speech coherently or tidy up a messy document without changing the meaning.
“Gartner estimates only about 130 of the thousands of agentic AI vendors are real.”
This whole industry is so full of hype and scams, the bubble surely has to burst at some point soon.
Ontario has some pretty good wines. There’s really no reason not to buy local.
I think the culprit you’re looking for is capitalism. When it gets desperate it turns into fascism.
You again? Last time I came across you, you were being racist too. Your username is racist. Is racism just a hobby or a full-time job for you?
They’re calling these people terrorists for holding signs calling for the end of Israel’s genocide. They’re not calling the people who have been committing genocide every day terrorists: they’re valuable allies. This is the UK Government’s morality. I hope it’s not shared by the British people.
2,000 INMATES GLOOMY
I didn’t realize how long the NYT had been like this.
What’s with the suggestion that they’re injuring people at all? Has it happened?
It looks like it would split the Democratic vote too. Which suggests a lot of Democratic voters (like pretty much all Republican voters) don’t have the first clue what’s going on.
Do they realize that without health science there will be no staying alive?
Well yes. I didn’t bring that in but individualism is the propaganda of capitalism, designed to set workers against each other while keeping them preoccupied with “expressing themselves” through consumption. Dress this up as rugged individualism, tell them it’s weakness to need or accept help, add a dash of the American Dream (as you mention), and you get a proudly compliant population who will aggressively resist all attempts to self-organize in their shared interests or redistribute wealth. That’s been the USA at least since Reagan, and probably for most of its history.
Learning the killing doesn’t have to happen is the entire point of socialization, and we just don’t teach that to humans anymore.
We don’t teach it to Americans any more. Some places still understand what society and social responsibility are. But Americans have been subjected to the propaganda of toxic individualism for too long.
This crude recourse to “evolutionary fitness” is the rhetoric of fascists.
That’s the “deep state” according to MAGA, because they don’t have the first clue how actual government works.
