How many analogies age more than 10 years anyways? They are contextual. It will be a while before a robot flips steaks cheaper (and better) than a human line cook.

Both could be true. People follow incentives.

Unfortunately, that's most of science. I don't see these AI systems doing reproducible experiments in "meatspace" any time soon.

Well in this case there were multiple failures... Should they have been identified earlier? Yes.

tertiary education is just one metric. And yes Mexico is #1 obesity but that doesn't mean that the US being #2 is good. We are horribly overweight compared to Europe and Asia.

Well, the "fat" part is true, the US is #2 in obesity among developed countries. In many education metrics we are average or below average compared to the OECD countries (despite s…

AI companies should be held liable for this.

please google "regulatory capture"

it's much lower than common claims about AI.

unless AI also speeds up the 84% of work that isn't coding, that is not possible.

Gamblers shouldn't expect to win all the time.

Sure, but that means they should stop pretending that they are advancing scientific research, or pretending that their products are scientifically sound.

Tell that to the executives who are looking to replace people with AI.

Perhaps, but the majority of executives do not understand code at all. The scenario in the paper is realistic for a non-tech company suddenly adopting AI for daily business tasks.

The general public doesn't understand how these things work, at all, and the marketing makes it sound like it is magical. That's why this paper is important. They gave it a scenari…

The whole point of the article was that disabled people cannot afford it. That's why we need to socialize medicine.

Those on prep would welcome a vaccine, it would be a significant improvement. I agree that this is no reason to take the foot off the gas with prep availability, we need more ASAP.…

the stores also have terrible physical stock. getting a game you want by blindly walking into a store is a gamble now.

I don't have a twitter account and do not want to go there. Anything good brought over to another format is value added.

I can't remember the last time I wrote something significantly long and it didn't hurt my wrists. Maybe in middle school.

I don't like them, I don't like text editors changing the literal text that I type. I think we should just use double dash -- instead.

We probably do, considering how many seem to treat it as companionship or therapy.

I don't know either. it also seems like attaching a big "hack me!" sign to their back.

this is very obvious inside the article, from both text and charts. you could say it's a baity headline.

You might prefer that, but journal editors might not.
