AI cannot replace human human touch or smell. Human touch is inversely correlated to anxiety, depression and stress.

Human touch calms us and slows down our heartbeat. It lowers blood pressure and cortisol. It triggers the release of oxytocin, (the hormone known for promoting emotional bonding to others.)

Humans are constantly smelling themselves and other people. A study in 2020 revealed that people subconsciously smell members of the same sex more often than those of different sex.

Researchers have found evidence that the explosion in teenage depression is linked to insufficient human interaction because its replaced by digital interaction.

AI friends sounds like the stuff of a dystopian sci-fi movie.

I'm pretty sure it's the division between the "shut up and calculate" point of view, and the one which seeks to /explain/ the rules for the calculations.
Quantum *mechanics* is pretty well accepted: it works under a great many circumstances!
It's also reviled as an *explanation*: it's hard to generalize the rules, and interpreting them in any palatable way (as, for example, explaining what is an observer and what it means to make an observation) is apparently impossible. Thus the enduring presence of people who are bringing back objections that the "shut up and calculate" response is a poor one. See, e.g. Carroll, Barandes, et alia.
Few physicists are happy with the Copenhagen interpretation, for the reason you mentioned and for many others. However, I note that you clearly have not given an alternative interpretation.

If taxpayers already paid for the research, they shouldn't have to pay twice. Making the research publicly available is an excellent idea.

Let's keep going! ;-)

"is." is not a verb; "is" is a verb.

You've put quotation marks around the period at the end of your sentence. You've also inconsistently punctuated "M.D." and "MBA", and have chosen to spell out "O.K." in your post subject.
Introspection is difficult!

Federal spending after WW2 went from about 14% of gdp then to about 23% of GDP now. State spending went from about 6% then to 6% now. So we're taxing and spending a lot more now.

In terms of spending on higher education, states reduced spending from 0.45% of GDP to about 0.3% now.

A lot of that was because Medicaid costs went up and the Federal government forces costs sharing with states on that.

High marginal rates actually hurts revenue and GDP. Some states have high combined marginal rates of 1.45% + 0.9% + 13.3% + 37% = 52.65%. (California). It's close to the point where economic growth is harmed.

And without GDP there's nowhere to pay for all the goodies we all want.

Never heard of it.

Sajid Javid is a Cnut of the first water.

There I've said it.

"serving as the brains of some of the fastest supercomputers on Earth."
A /. "Editor" calling a CPU a Brain.??

Oh, those efficient Germans, always leaving out letters.

The US doesn't have much of a way for engineers to come here unless they're from India and willing to work as an indentured servant via the corrupt H1B system.

It would be a dream to just give green cards to any background checked STEM graduate of a top 100 world university with a gpa above the median, and who can speak English to the same degree as someone who has majored in a foreign language in the US.

As to China, they graduate lots of engineers. Most can't find jobs. So it's great for Corporate China but terrible for everyone else.

Adverts.

They introduce bike lanes to create more car congestion so people won't drive. (Few people actually use them.)

They ban cars from neighborhoods to limit travel. Then because there's no alternative they can charge high prices to take a train. Planes are being banned in Europe for shorter distances - less than 500 km. So you can't even fly. It's a perfect way to control a population. It's a form of subtle authoritarianism. You are a prisoner in your urban area surrounded by constant propaganda of how wonderful things are.

They won't build homes as population rises due to immigration so people are gradually impoverished paying ever higher rents.

Freedom of speech is limited a small amount each year or two. Everything the elites don't like is deemed "hate speech" or problematic. The system is enforced by large digital companies acting quietly on governments' requests. And prison terms as a backup.

Economic growth stops. Innovation is allowed only to further monitor and repress

Welcome to 21st century European feudalism. And the want to spread it too!

Persistent cheating should result in expulsion.

And reading the comments below, I now realize the average age of many of the commenters. I never realized that so many were still in highschool (judging from their defensiveness about cheating together with their choice of language).

They are so biased and think that pretending to know about something when you don't is not the problem. The problem is everyone else.

Well it's not. And sadly so many people don't even pretend to care about personal integrity.

I will give one defence for using AI. Grades matter. If you don't plan on doing further schooling, then they don't matter very much. But they do matter a lot for grad school.

So if want to get ahead, you feel desperate. And if everyone else is getting an artificial (see the pun? lol) advantage, then by not using AI, you unfairly fall behind.

Having said all of that, if you cheat enough, you'll hardly learn anything, and if you actually need one day to do some statistics or explain what something means, you're going to regret it.

If you must cheat, at least feel some inner shame.
