Seriously, how is a job applicant supposed to be able to distinguish what a hacker asks them to do versus the typical humiliation ritual that passes for the standard employment experience we are accustomed to?

It's two slightly different flavors of abuse.

No. It's not white guilt.

And it's money coming from wealthy to the poor.

The best way to do reparations is to make sure nobody goes hungry and to increase opportunities.

I think that what everyone needs to realize is we are all in this together. 99% of the population is closer to the bottom than the top.

Let's ensure no one goes hungry, homeless or had injustice. Reparations to everyone.

We should show mercy because many decent people have benefited from evil.

We can't look at countries collectively. Religions. White or dark skin. We are not at war with nations, we are complicit in theft for leaders.

If we don't punish the results of war crimes we only empower the excuses.

The Trump admin removed everything that would have prevented this war crime and implemented AI to give them another thing to point fingers at.

I'm less afraid of Iranian justice than I am of Epstein administration mercy.

When the Trump admin fires oversight, the agency that prevents civilian casualties, and hires for loyalty and evil -- it's not incompetence, it's policy.

The "AI made me" was adopted from the same company that did it in Palestine.

They killed non combatant kids because they didn't are not to kill kids.

This is war crimes. And if we don't punish the results we will only improve the excuses.

Thank you for this comment. Iâ(TM)ve been trying to put the same idea into words; the Trump administration tried to do a Bush911 but failed due to incompetent evil.

Also, deep respect to the Iranians for not being bated into a trap. The Trump admin has lessened our cyber security. Poked every bees nest. Taunted and insulted. All to get someone, anyone to attack the American people or our electronic infrastructure.

Nope. Crickets.

They arenâ(TM)t smart enough to pull off a false flag. Too lazy to drum up support. But dumb and arrogant enough to try.

Oh, and rewatching that âoeattemptâ on Trump. He stands there waiting with a fist up while someone has the presence of mind to lower the American flag hanging from a winch so it could be in the photo. Thatâ(TM)s our patriotic pathetic narrative on display. Once you see it you canâ(TM)t unsee it.

No, but it will replace the half Planck.

We donâ(TM)t need long text for short word. We already have inch and ounce. The same value but ironically less character than âoeTrumpdicks.â

The question has the answer. âoeSlave societyâ. The chains are hidden. We already had housing and food scarcity licked in the 80s. As productivity increased, more scarcity and excuses had to be manufactured. âoeWe have to stay competitive.â And apparently, profits to shareholders arenâ(TM)t a part of the price?

This is something that really paints the picture; around 2015 our MIC consolidated military contractors from hundreds down to about five. âoeEfficiencyâ led to 50% layoffs but a shoulder mounted rocket went from $25000 to $400,000. Now for the petro dollar or to end it, we are in Iraq. $2 million interceptors chasing $25k drone. Because thatâ(TM)s where your living wage went. To blow up a school in Iran rather than build one in the USA. The rest was sagely invested in a yacht, cocaine and comfort women and of course someone on TV to tell you some other reason.

"For an assignment testing students' ability to make evidence-based arguments, they participate in a simulated school board meeting about banning books. It involves debating chatbots designed by Zeleny with names like the Confrontational Parent."

This a VERY thinly veiled parallel to a hotly divided political issue that teachers/unions [and chatbot trained bias] tend be on one side of and the majority of the public, parents, and truth on the opposite of. Given that adults of the highest levels of performance in our society, be it professional achievement, economic achievement, political achievement, IQ, and education disagree on the matter it sounds like what the teacher is likely testing is alignment with her own ideology and not evidence-based arguments.

I saw the same thing in many of my own courses, examples and material used in classes [especially logic classes like critical thinking] that taught and test concepts through distilled 'analogs' to popular political issues with an attempt to appear neutral and present both sides while actually presenting a weakened strawman of one side the argument and consistently that strawman was on the same side. Cleverly these were not the topics for essays where students spent effort on time and research and independent thought but the class examples that most would never look at additional material on... simply walk away believing they formed a valid independent judgement at the pinnacle of their own education.

Flock is just like the body cams â" they have a âoeoops nothing was recordedâ mode of plausible malfunction in that perfect 98% uptime that captures the officer ordering a Biggie Meal but not beating a suspect.

Bit since itâ(TM)s a business the âoeFlock cam was mysteriously not recording at that point at that timeâ is a feature that will cost more.

Anyone here not figure Iran was targeting soldiers using cell phones?

And of course he goal of all the slop we put on our phones is to put trackers on. A hundred data brokers are pinging our every move.

And it wonâ(TM)t stop. Capitalism will truly sell you the rope to hang it with.

Very appropriate for the USA to lose a war this way. Itâ(TM)s pathetic and stupid.

It has nothing to do with being cowards, they are robots. It's a case of saving a little money at the expense of being excluded from a lot of money.

Piracy laws are very effective... for curbing intentional piracy in businesses because they have too much to lose to break laws like these and they are basically robots with instructions to follow the law.

But they won't outlaw these, what they'd do is prohibit companies that use them from government work/contracts and the government gives away WAY too much of our money to give that up.
