There isn't a lot of effort going into researching DEI, but people who are "not white" are clearly getting discriminated against by the Trump administration, so yea, they would rather go somewhere their work will be appreciated, rather than being treated as if they are less skilled or able to do things just because of their sex, gender, or whatever. Picking people just because they are white and look good on camera is just as much DEI as anything else, because they are picked for their race, even when grossly incompetent.

Commercial applications vs. SCIENCE. R&D is what results in the breakthroughs that end up advancing things. The stuff where "yea, put a lab in space for research that might be dangerous to the planet" isn't necessarily going to be profitable, but it sure will be safer during the scientific discovery phase. SpaceX isn't going to build a pure science station, even if it will be used to get things into orbit.

When conservatives, or pseudo-conservatives are continually against education, and research because "they don't like government spending", this is what happens. I understand being against corruption and poor uses of money, but because the majority of people are NOT educated with a focus in science, these people who are against investing in science cause countries to fall behind. You even see it with what has been going on with the space programs from different countries, the ones where conservatives have shut down most of the budget for space programs are the ones who keep falling behind in space. R&D for advanced physics research is the same thing, these conservatives keep looking for an immediate return on the investments, when it is really the applications of what government research comes up with that make the money.

The Internet in large part, is based on what government came up with, but these conservatives would have shut down the R&D back in the 1970s.

If you don't like attacks, then you must hate Donald Trump, who continually attacks others with his nasty little nicknames he comes up with and shows the worst of humanity at every chance he gets.

If it is criminal activity, I expect that Donald Trump will push for a pardon. Drug dealers with money get pardoned for example.

There is a difference between claiming that something is real, and then the reality being different. With AI, there is the potential for a lot of true fake stuff that claims to be real, but is generated with AI. There is also a big difference between using special effects and AI to make something for entertainment purposes, vs. trying to convince people that these fake things are a reason to vote for a given candidate, or buy a product. It's like financial predictions needing a disclaimer that the real world results may not end up being profitable.

And this is where, if your personal economics come crashing down and you end up homeless, you fully deserve it with that attitude. People as well as nations, can not survive on their own, they need friends and allies to help with the things they can't do themselves.

There is always a difference between the government and the people of a country. Until Trump 2.0, the government wasn't stupid enough to alienate every friendly nation on the planet while sucking up to Russia, China, Turkey, and North Korea. At this point, the GOVERNMENT is the problem, not the people of the USA.

If he travels to another country, he MUST follow the laws of that country. He isn't immune from legal action, he is just being protected while in the USA by those pussies in the Republican Party who are afraid that if they lose 5% in the next elections, they will be voted out.

Trump never released his tax returns, so, maybe it's time for HIM to come clean.

You say that as if there is an upward mobility path, start by working on the farm, then...where do people "graduate to"? Do they gain skills that would apply to higher skill jobs? That's the danger for society overall in AI, because people do need to start SOMEWHERE to learn the more advanced skills that AI can't do. Yea, you need a doctorate just to get a job, but those with a high level degree still won't have the job experience needed to do well in many jobs where experience teaches better than any classroom.

The other problem is also to understand the WHY of things, not just how to do this or that, but to teach WHY you do things in one way and not another, even if you have multiple ways to get things done. If schools aren't teaching the ART of a subject, including in scientific subjects, they are skipping out on what makes many subjects fun for those who love it.

Considering the generally low pay that you see from most jobs out there, bonuses limited to the executives because "times are tough", that attitude makes sense. Getting a 2% raise when the cost of living has gone up by 8 percent or more over the past year, and other issues like that, then it makes sense that the very wealthy, who keep getting tax cuts, should be seen as the cause for a lot of the misery out there. Even those who are doing "ok" are finding that they aren't doing as well as they were a few years ago due to the higher cost of EVERYTHING.

Anti-woke will ALWAYS shoot itself in the foot. There's a very basic issue at play, if you are a part of a group that feels they are being discriminated against, there will be protests, and a push against that discrimination. Race, ethnic group, sex, gender, or whatever, that push back against discrimination will ALWAYS happen. And, the more that discrimination goes on, the bigger the push back will be.

Now, this is where it shoots the anti-woke people in the foot, when the push back happens, it doesn't stop at fair representation, it tends to go overboard(you have to push hard to overcome that discrimination that has been in place). For those on both sides who are not at the extremes, this makes the push back uncomfortable and unpleasant, but it is still in response to the original discrimination/persecution. Now, if the anti-woke people would just stop their persecution in the first place, this takes away most of the energy from the protests against the initial discrimination, and then, all of the "over-correcting" goes away, which further eliminates the thing that bothers so many people.

So, admit it, there has been systematic racism in many places around the world, there has been a lot of anti-LGBT+ out there as well. Nothing you do will change that people who are not like you are in the world, and they deserve the same rights that you do, no matter if you like it or not, people are people, and they deserve the same respect you want for yourself. So, just stop fighting it, and all of the things you dislike about those other groups will stop taking a spotlight, and suddenly, you won't have reasons to be so unhappy. The more you close your eyes to it and say it's not happening, the more of the protests you will see and hear about.

If a new generation of product comes out every one or two years, many companies will push the idea of, "customers will buy every new generation" as they inflate their projected numbers. They will also just assume that companies will continue to just throw money at buying AI based products, even when they already have enough to meet their needs.

There is SOME merit to expecting that after a 30 percent boost in performance to a new generation, companies MAY decide to upgrade/replace equipment, but that is not an automatic.
