This is why I say these articles are so similar to how right wing media covers issues about immigrants.

Maybe the actual problem is people who equate computer programs with people.

Then when they pass laws, we’re all primed to accept them removing whatever it is that advantageous them and disadvantageous us.

You mean laws like this? jfc.

Who is "you"?

Just because some dummies supposedly think that NPCs are "AI", that doesn't make it so. I don't consider checkers to be a litmus test for "intelligence".

I'm going to write a program to play tic-tac-toe. If y'all don't think it's "AI", then you're just haters. Nothing will ever be good enough for y'all. You want scientific evidence of intelligence?!?! I can't even define intelligence so take that! \s

Seriously tho. This person is arguing that a checkers program is "AI". It kinda demonstrates the loooong history of this grift.

Computers are awesome at "recognizing patterns" as long as the pattern is a statistical average of some possibly worthless data set. And it really helps if the computer is setup to ahead of time to recognize pre-determined patterns.

I understand that people in this "field" regularly use pseudo-scientific language (I actually deleted that part of my comment).

But the terminology has never been suitable so it shouldn't be used in the first place. It pre-supposes the hypothesis that they're supposedly "disproving". They're feeding into the grift because that's what the field is. That's how they all get paid the big bucks.

Why would they "prove" something that's completely obvious?

The burden of proof is on the grifters who have overwhelmingly been making false claims and distorting language for decades.

Yeah it's amazing how people can be so uncritical of their own control. If your control is undermined by stastitics, then maybe statistics isn't the problem.

Barf in his face.

Technically no. Bailout =/= nationalization.

So it takes a spectacular failure of capitalist grifters? Check.

Global communities reveal the disgusting chauvinism of the nationalist "we". It's cult speech.

Eventually, someone will start building and stockpiling actual weapons, perhaps even atomics. Then we will be asking why someone didn’t step in and stop them before they became a bonafide threat.

Bruh this has already happened over and over again. Nobody stops them because the most violence empire on the planet is leading the way. AFAIK the USA is the only state to have actually nuked people.

See also the zio regime. Imperial allies supreme.

The author probably forgot who runs the nation of usa.

Where's the grift tho? What's the angle? How will this enrich an uber-privileged pale bro?

Maybe... But never going to happen. Privitization and capitalism work the other way in the imperial core.

Can anybody recommend some morally pure alternatives?

The more fundamental problem is that the capitalist indoctrination system has never been ok. Schools have never been about diversity, critical thinking, and education but rather conformity, privilege, and indoctrination. The system of grading and filtering students based on tests, essays, etc. is counter to the purported goal of education. Schools are just just pre-prisons for kids while parents waste their lives serving capital.

That "recap post" from you looks alot more like you attacking tankies than vice versa.

Allegedly because I ain’t got the time to manually verify that myself.

Crucial footnote.
