Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

Probabilistic Automation is probably the best term for a majority of what the orange buffoon calls "super intelligence".
I hate that this went from "we want to detect cancer early" to "steal and monetize everything".
The tech bros have destroyed the believe everyone had about progress. These days not much people believe more inventions and technology will actually improve our lives.
Yeah, I hate how assholes like donnie are wanting to cash in. So very very much. I remain hopeful about its practical applications in many fields - and they are there, in spite of what many haters say. I hate that the focus seems to be about how many jobs we can "disrupt" or destroy based on stolen works (code, art, books). I'm so very sick of what it's doing to the IT world in which I work. Instead, it could have been mostly about trying to supercharge scientific and technology endeavors, and mostly that. Instead, the oligarchs seem to be aiming it at stealing the jobs of creatives.
We desperately need someone smart and informed on the matter with a big platform that can split the difference. People like donnie and musk ain't it but because one is in the WH and the other has too much money, we get to listen to their "thoughts" on the matter.
