You are either trolling or are a moron.

You likely "think" The last Republican Candidate was competent...and perhaps you still think he is... playing 4D chess.

It's too bad the world is harmed by you people and that us smart people keep helping you survive. Your partner should stop helping you get dressed each day so you can realize your a Dunning Kruger specimen. Watching your idea leadership implode your nation is sad; but only because of the innocent people harmed.

FYI, No Child Left Behind was a GOP initiative that suckered enough Dems to sign on and then it was implemented by the GOP. It's design was to destroy public education; I know this because I know a strategist for the local GOP who told me that was the plan. They actually use the tactic often; they subvert plans with sabotage and division just as Russia destroyed the USA (primarily using the GOP, but they manipulate lots of triggering liberal woke suckers to help as well.)

Did you graduate? even go? There are hardly any stupid classes offered. I will not say none ever... The class on Klingon actually is a gimmick for learning theory on a topic...well a whole major that many could consider pointless. Thing is those other areas of study do round out people and provide perspectives of thought and brain training that transfer into other areas even if you are not able to grasp it. AI itself began as a math nerd writing a paper based upon far from speculative theories biology of the human brain; had he not been exposed to that it would have been imagined later on. maybe decades later and I'd not have to deal with this shit before retirement.

Ah yes... the DSM which is not free from heavy cultural influence and likely will take a step backwards in the area of gender identity disorder. Thing is, we must save every single delusional person by humoring them 24/7 as if they were violently holding a gun to their head because we dared prove they are not Napoleon. Being crazy, we can't handle them like we can tell religious people there is no god; but the crazy ones... you humor them for your own safety and theirs...temporarily. This has gone too far; some lives are just going to have to be lost. Probably far fewer lives than we lose to over prescribing mental drugs...especially for children.

NOTE- Cross-dressing can be done by healthy people; it's only psychotics that are the problem (ask a chatbot to tell you what that actually means... irony bonus points if the chatbot hallucinates!) Not that there are not other rare situations such as intersex, confused bisexuals, confused gay people and people with hormone problems due to all that pollution you must have heard about that is messing up frogs etc. which impacts humans too. A tomboy used to maybe be queer for a little while then discover they were lesbian, bi, or straight; the real problem was even having gender roles in the first place instead of simply allowing a girl to do things like boys did.... now they are prescribed a stereotype that comes with expensive profitable treatment options.

CONTROL! Bill has control problems. He can't trust that his organization will run forever in the ways he wants it to and he can't enjoy the feeling it was carrying out his will like before when he was making his org richer and more powerful. His ex-wife is a reminder of his lack of control over beyond his time and also it seemed that he was caught blindsided by her exit.

The ONLY way to make sure what he wants happens is have it die off with him.

Comment Experiment with it. (Score 1) 127

Show the video over and over to the prisoner. See what happens after years of exposure... is it torture? does it have an impact after a while?

Anybody slow or sick enough to have an AI of the victim do anything to them is probably not fit for trial and should be put in a hospital for the criminally insane. But how about we do some experiments on prisoners to find out if it has any emotional impact on them which is one of the reasons they have statements from the family or victim to the criminal. The other reason it just to make the family feel better and if the family feels better by having a bot say something for them then let them feel better - as long as it's their money. We have plenty of stupid businesses and this could just be another one.

Just wait until somebody sells this service for funerals so you can have your AI version of yourself at your own funeral and maybe even give a speech for you. Somebody is going to do it - I'm surprised it hasn't happened simply to be the 1st and make the news. It could have already but the family was so embarrassed they didn't contact the press.

Trump at the funeral was asked about the next Pope and the sick man could help but speak what he was thinking which naturally how he wanted that level of fame, respect and power so he didn't answer and said he'd like to be Pope. This was later turned by the official White House into a massive trolling press release; likely by a staffer kissing his ass... however, he is used as a distraction so it could have solely for the reason of distracting from Vance killing the Pope. Which Vance reasonably could be blamed for forcing a "private meeting" when the public one was canceled by a weak Pope but had no choice but to be used as a prop for a photo op which is what the "private" meeting was turned into... simply a shorter public meeting solely used to exploit him and the Pope was fully aware of the situation.

Not even having to talk with scum like Vance in that situation would raise blood pressure; but have you seen what talking to Vance is like? It would give many weak people a stroke which might kill them hours later.

I usually have the worst nightmares.

Psychology let low talent, low experience people do things nobody could do by themselves in a lifetime... the purpose of science, books etc. Like everything, bad people abuse the knowledge and weaponize it. I've wondered for quite some time how long education can counter psychology before the masses become willing slaves. You only need to get close to a majority.

Comment Re:Direct Mail Tests (Score 1) 208

No, because years of conditioning can't be undone without years of counter-conditioning. You have to brainwash them to undo it! Seriously, it takes forced conditioning (brainwashing) because part of their programming is to shield them from thinking; exactly like a cult. I know this because I knew actual psy-op guys in the military who were trained in weaponized psychology and they told me a great deal about it including some things they probably shouldn't have... like how they were planning to retire at 38 and had a job offer on the table already lined up! The open job offer was for Fox News!

This is also why solitary confinement is torture, go read up on why that is torture and how it works and that should give you the foundational understanding on how this stuff actually works. You can't cure the long term damage from solitary without a lot of time to undo it; in some cases, it may take longer than the person has to completely undo it. Becoming delusional is surprisingly easy to have happen; but most the time it's short lived but it can extend into the unhealthy; like most other mental conditions.

I know a fair amount on this topic. CS in education is poor and even the decent stuff is a waste. This is partially a ploy to lower wages and over saturate the CS market (or funded by those with that motivation.) Even more so as shit programmers are enhanced by AI tools. I don't look forward to fixing all that code...

1st off we have a complex world. It made the successful nations force teenagers to get free education generations ago. Now we are more complex. We need more advanced free mandatory education... or universal mandatory post secondary education. This does not mean just STEM.

2nd, we do not need CS. People are piss poor at math, logic, and in the USA, the reading skill level of the majority is below 6th grade. Critical thinking of 1/3 is embarrassingly bad. We can't prop up the lower half of the bell curve with a STEM based economy any more than we can move to an art and poem economy to counter AI. We could however find jobs recognizing crosswalks, bridges, and bicycles in images...

3rd, creativity and curiosity are declining for at least two generations from what I've heard from educators in those areas. Addictions and their impact on attention spans along with delayed gratification have been a problem even longer.

4th, we have many times the number of STEM graduates than we have STEM jobs. At least for a decade this has been the case. I suggest looking into what IEEE says because that is where I've seen that data. A majority of these are also difficult jobs without matching pay or job security.

5th, most the youth and slightly less adults in the USA lack depth of thought on most subjects; they don't contemplate just consume thoughtlessly to fulfill impulses. Not saying they are better or worse than other cultures but simply more degraded by their culture of which I've been an observer for 40+ years. Since gen X, there is an ignorant over confidence increasing making me wonder if dunning krugar is a genetic disease. Confidence is in abundance; the justification for it is severely lacking. Trump really does represent possibly a majority.

SO MANY LARGER FACTORS MUST BE ADDRESSED! CS and STEM are a band aid trying to cure cancer. people need to wake the shit up. We can't even discover reality; everything is just a narrative now.... so you go find the one that gives you warm fuzzies. I'm sticking to bleak reality.

Math and Reading skills are critical. I also don't mean your typical CS major with poor english and mediocre math skills from 20 years ago; it has gone way below that. I saw "classic" CS students decrease maybe 60% in 30 years; but enrollment increased significantly. A foundation must exist upon which to build.

So now people are learning what inflation actually is... all the other stuff didn't get their attention but when their toys go up... then they notice. sad.

It's more complex, but since inflation isn't understood, why bother trying to explain actual capitalism and it's flaws? This is like trying to explain fire makes light to somebody who didn't realize the room got brighter and then expecting them to grasp how the fire could burn out of control and ruin everything...

You go find the documentaries and interviews over the years that I'm recalling this from. The enjoyable one that comes to mind is from Red Letter Media about Episode One which makes that movie worth watching just so you can understand their excellent take down of it. YOU might need to watch Episode One 3-4 times first to begin to notice how much it sucks before watching their take down. I think the chorus of people ripping Lucas's low grade prequels probably was a big factor in him selling it out to Disney as a big FU and I bet you can find a few clips about that topic that hint at a negative attitude about him doing that. Please let me know because it would confirm my theory that he didn't feel any loyalty to preserving his greatest work any longer.

Also, his expert blabbing about the previous films comes across so much as fraudulent given my experience with posers, even a handful of con artists I've talked with (and they were convicted later on.) I'm not saying he is a con artist, just that he comes across as somebody trying to live up to a myth that has grown beyond him and on some level he knows this. Perhaps it's just imposter syndrome affecting his behavior; but it reminds me of actual imposters I've met.
