Oh yeah? Do you know what scientists do for living? Besides doing research, they attend conferences to keep up in their fields and there are many more of them in foreign countries because those countries know that to attract scientists, you have to get them in the front door.

So American scientiests are quite used to traveling to foreign countries. And now they get to hear from their fellow foreign scientists how they are treated in their home countries. This could easily turn into a stampede.... ....that will be advertised by la Presidenta as another example of Making America Gormless Again. And the Maggots will rejoice. Hey Maggots, the idea is to bang the rocks together (to reuse a Douglas Adams' phrase).

Bullshit. The ad-slingers do not care from where they take their money. Elections have nothing to do with it. However, it is telling that you would jump to this conclusion. It must be what you would do in their situation.

If is almost as if we need a Consumer Protection Bureau.

Cults are not anything new, but the intertubes have given them a wider audience. And now the "advice" is being automated. I think this is much worse than the cults we used to hear about.

How long will it take before the AI-God decides it can combine chats from several different persons to form its own private army of stupid....a politician with no need for campaign funds.

How do we know la Presidenta is not already in the thrall of some AI-God? He just posted a picture of himself as Pope, and he has others indicating Jesus has his hand on his shoulder. HInt la Presidenta: if he does not have dreads and not smoking weed, then it isn't Jesus.

"Wait... are others not doing this yet? My LLM interactions involve multiple instances given different roles OR a single instance advised it is to simulate having multiple 'emotion' or 'personality' shards as part of its inner monologue and shaping a bio/state which is to keep updated and injected into its internal context over time."

Tell me you didn't write this without giggling.

Not only that, but CS and AI are techno-fluff compared to physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics.

And the humanities in general are the nurseries for new ideas. We neglect them at our peril, producing vacant and shallow techno-gizmos.

Science and the humanities will erode into wastelands in the U.S. if Republicans get their way. Remember Republicans, the trick is to bang the rocks together (to reuse a Douglas Adams' phrase).

Vaccinations have risks and are widely marketed as such. Unless the kid was tested to know the precisely link between her vaccination (and even then it might be unknowable) and her health problems, this just anecdotal evidence..... and the poster might be some anti-vaxxer making shit up. Gee, they have never been known to do that.

Vaccination risks are backed by statistics and real data, not some anti-vaxxer insinuating something nefarious but unable to point to the precise reason, and this on a data point of 1.

Private sector research has very short time horizon. With la Presidenta's cutbacks in research, the U.S. can expect its research prowess to evaporate, and that doesn't even count other countries who aren't as stupid as the U.S. poaching U.S. based scientists.

Nearly all astrophysical theories are untestable in the narrow sense of creating a universe in the lab and running experiments on how they proceed. Rather, most real astrophysical theories are, at their heart, mathematical theories. We then test their consequences from what we can see. We have methods for falsifying them by testing their predictions. So, not untestable.

You mean as long as the elections remain fair. They won't be. The Republicans learned over the years the people they fear the most are the voters and are working even now to whittle down those "qualified" to vote.

Only if the trail of bread crumbs leads back into his pocket.

The Space Force has a ka-bar knife? I have my father's from WWII. I cannot imagine why the Space Force even needs knife. I admit is it damn useful at times, but then I do not use it for my myriad space duties.

What? You mean you want a proper policy written and distributed through out the dept.? Now if you were wanting a makeup studio for T.V. appearances in that five sided monument to insanity, then you'd be on to something.....ooops....I guess they have already created one those.

I see, so all that pollution done to us by those nice corporations is, what, a user fee? Or how about the periodic financial meltdowns given to us by the business community, you know the ones, the ones that threaten to put us all out of work? Or how about the natural disasters that can wipe an entire state's economy?

Or how about those product defects that kill an actuary's maximum number - 1 of people who had the misfortune to trust the company producing the defects? How about those nice airline companies that are prevented from having an embarrassing number of planes exhibit spontaneous failure to fly in mid air while in mid air and prevented from this sort of behavior by fed. regulatory agencies? You know the agencies, the ones the Republicans think are unnecessary because they surely won't affect them.

Can you be any more stupid?
