Comment Re:Yes, probably. And they likely can do even bett (Score 1) 241

There are many things humans are bad at.

Humans can't lift heavy objects
Humans can't drive
Humans can't go without eating
Humans can't go on repeating the same task without getting bored
Humans can't remember exact details consistently
Humans can't operate continuously without sleep
Humans can't handle extreme heat, cold, pressure, or radiation
Humans can't measure things with high consistency
Humans can't reproduce identical products or results
etc, etc

Fortunately or unfortunately if you start replacing humans because they are bad at driving or other things means soon humans will not be of much use.
Some are great at creating amazing things, some are great at keeping this place going and some just exist.
It is best not to start picking and choosing now, lest it soon be your time when the criteria changes to fit you into the box as well

I released a WMD and I don't know how to stop it from going off. I definitely think I am smarter than everyone else on the planet but need government backing and bailouts and assurances because "I told you this would happen". That way, no class actions and no criminal trials because I have been warning you, AFTER I pulled the trigger

They have a right to speak and you have the same right to not listen to them.
I fail to see where they forced their statements on you, nor do I fail to see why you have to think they are pontificating.
Someone reporter asked them a question and they answered. In some cases, they volunteered their answers without anyone asking them. For that, see point (1)

It won't matter that you ask all legit questions. Dunning Kruger effect is in full force with these folks.

Their answer to this is the same answer they give to the God question "Tell me how this world would be different if there was no God and no one designed it".

They cannot imagine either and they usually trail off into other topics or play the blame game

The driver comes all the way to the house and can't walk a few extra steps to deliver the package? There is some safety issues that can be reduced like dogs chasing the drivers or perhaps heavy packages or slippery areas, etc... but other than that this seems useless. Now, they will add more to the delivery fee for this stupid robot instead of paying their human workers a decent wage

Not only is it not misleading, but in many cases ... news reporters and others come up with some terminology that sticks
Did a scienstist come up with forever chemicals term or did someone else come up and run with the term because they thought PFAS is too technical?
In either case, someone was trying to convince people but the motivation also matters (if it is known)

I am from India and moved to United States. I can say definitively that the answer to this is a resounding YES Forces sex between a husband and wife is common. I have a family member who is âoeguiltyâ of this. Women for various reasons do not step forward or file complaints except in extreme circumstances
