Define unnecessarily

Yes, all PhDs are equal. But some are more equal than others.

My question is simple: why are we robbing academics and research of PhDs? There is a thread that's actively encouraging that people should get PhDs (which is fine), but then the ta…

Yeah, you're probably just biased against someone you know who has a CS degree, or is getting one. It's how humans work.

Not, if your PhD is in something mindless, like political science.

Exactly this. The whole point of these exercises is putting the inferior races in their place.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, become product managers.

The day 'discrimination' happens to you, you'll sing a different tune.

It's telling that the profound statements are inherently prosaic. So are they really 'profound' or categorized so because they can be tied to some kind of natural or observable or …

Agreed. And can't we just employ humans to do this? Give them a job and such?

This cannot be overstated. Also, we are treating this planet like we've got options elsewhere. This is setting people up for a rude awakening, whenever that may be down the line.

Because we can.

> Women, of course work as doctors for more that a single year, but on average they do work less over their lifetimes than male physicians. What data supports this statement, or is…

Or, if it's from someone I don't like anyways or want others to dislike/disregard: manipulative.

I am not sure how viable this hiring model is for companies that want to develop bleeding edge IP. Speaking only about development jobs: contractors are nomadic, they're not tied o…

Well, if you're thinking sentient, AI beings, then no-- they are still a long way off. Unless we can give any meaning behind why a robot should do something, for example, have and …

> you could get the 1984 or black mirror dystopian society We already have that, let's stop pretending we're not already living in a dystopian society.

> I'm not sure how "we should treat others better" can be implemented in practice? This is an honest question from you, but to some it might seem like a no-brainer. I think a lot o…

It's not dangerous and unethical if humans are there to pass final judgment on the answers. I was saying we can get to point where we might not even need that. This technology is i…

I suggest holding on to the knee jerk reaction till you read the whole post..? I never said these tools will never be worthy of trust and performance at the levels we attribute to …

We're putting a lot of faith in tools that can best be described as immature. I don't think it's out of the question to get A.I. (not speaking of Watson, which is A.I. adjacent) to…

Interesting choice, Wizard of Oz. One question I've always wondered, what to do about narcissists who think someone else is the narcissist? Also, funny thing I've seen happen at wo…

> marine biology or some shit Highly ignorant comment, makes everything else you're saying less credible. I'd say instead that STEM subjects are more conducive to instilling a cert…

No. Who cares?

Should we start holding food chemists accountable for weight gain and obesity? Rhetorical question aside, there's a lot of stimuli competing for our attention in any given day. Sin…
