Must just be a skill issue.

Good thing that's not the case then.

It's not about stupid or smart. It's a tool, not a person. If you don't get the same results that other people get with the same tool, then what could possibly be the problem other than how the person is using the tool?

No, it's not. It doesn't have intention. It's literally just a tool. If you don't get the results you expect with a tool when other people do get those results, then the problem isn't the tool.

The symptoms you describe are caused by bad prompting. If an AI is providing over-complicated solutions, 9 times out of 10 it's because you didn't constrain your problem enough. If it's referencing tools that don't exist, then you either haven't specified which tools are acceptable or you haven't provided the context required for it to find the tools. You may also be wanting too much out of AI. You can't expect it to do everything for you. You still have to do almost all the thinking and engineering if you want a quality project - the AI is just there to write the code. Sure, you can use an AI to help you learn how to be a better engineer, but AIs typically don't make good high-level decisions. Treat AI like an intern, not like a principal engineer.

Not sure how this is relevant. They're discussing theism, not religion.

No. You're correct. You would get less money back on your taxes if your wife's income went up. However, the amount your taxes go up is less than the increase to your wife's income, so you still end up ahead as a couple. You get the largest individual tax breaks when you have a breadwinner, but the total financial incentive (after tax returns) is for both partners to make as much money as possible.

That said, finances are very emotionally charged and how people should approach their finances depends on how they think about this stuff. That's why snowball debt strategies work - not because they are optimal financially, but because they play into the psychology of a human paying off debt. With that in mind, I suppose you could still feel incentivized to have a large difference in incomes because of the tax breaks - it just isn't financially optimal if there is a free opportunity for the lower earner to bring in more money.

Married couples get the same tax benefits regardless. A raise for the lower earner always means more money for the family, so no, it doesn't incentivize having a breadwinner over having equal pay.

I don't think we can say that about consciousness for sure, but I agree with your broader point that it doesn't have self-awareness or a sense of horror at its predicament.

This could actually host a very interesting rudimentary form of consciousness that is theorized by some theories of consciousness, especially idealist models like panpsychism or analytic idealism (though I do admit that analytic idealism would phrase it in terms of having a mental state instead of being conscious).

They literally asked you to explain yourself after you made some vague comments. All this name calling and complaining about hurt feelings is likely just projecting on your part.

I think it's more like 303/2800 chance.

There are 97 leap days every 400 years, then the calendar repeats. So you have 303/400 chance of not having a leap year, and in those years, you get a 1/7 chance of having this calendar. Thus 303/2800.

I am being real. Sometimes the side effects are bad. If they are, then don't take the drug. This isn't as complicated as you are making it. Like doctors might be paid off to push a drug, but if they're prescribing generics, then that's probably not the case. Just have to use common sense when listening to doctors . You can't take everything they say at face value, but that doesn't mean doctors are useless.
