This reads as hype of the kind: "well, we can't reliably do these rather mundane things with AI, but we're going to run it extra hard and extra long in some novel way, and it will …

I'm sure the marketeers would love for the public's assessment of complex versus easy to conveniently shift per their release cycles; or for the public to simply forget their prior…

Recent releases have said something to the effect (paraphrasing here): "Use for everyday tasks and . Use for complex coding tasks, refactoring large code bases, etc.". Then, the ne…

You've restated your flawed assertions, you continue to reassign the roles, and you're conflating Congress with political appointees. > The problem scientific institutionalists fac…

The statement, "everything is just people" begs the question. That question is about appropriate roles. No one is debating that Congress has the power of the purse. That is one of …

Many of us did vote for sane ideas, like allowing scientists to make decisions about science. For instance, we knew RFK Jr would be a disaster and here we are, dealing with a resur…

Arguably is an understatement. Perhaps you're considering only the European theater, but even that would have been significantly more challenging for Russia without the U.S. tying …

All of this, and highlighting this part: > You would be faster by the fact that you know that it's correct and you don't have to review it. Helps greatly with mental load. I keep t…
