Which in one sense amounts to: Don't give AI executive powers and privileges. In the other: Just give them time, they'll reach that capacity of administrative annoying behaviour towards employees and helots pretty soon. And thirdly: I don't see rolling one's eyes or nodding sagely as pinnacles of human beauty. Children shouldn't learn that.

\"The encyclopedia belongs to everyone. The labor that sustains it deserves the same protection.\"
No, \"Big Tech's Anti-Labour Playbook\" is not coming for Wikipedia, it's coming for Wikimedia. The editors of Wikipedia never get paid for any of their work. It's Wikimedia employees who get fat salaries in this neo-liberal middle-man gatekeeper company. Screw them, no need to unionize for privileged leechers whose jobs rest on the exploitation of the work of unpaid \"volunteers\".

Perhaps it's different. Perhaps it's not a lack of \"education\", of \"infrastructure\", or \"spiritual practice\", but that Leftist positions are most often inherently flawed and display a lack of understanding of science, economics, politics, even morals. The rejection of nuclear power to slow down climate change is one example. Leftism doesn't work. Or rather: It presupposes the system it criticizes to run at full speed. So if you want to change the world, change infrastructure. The rest is blabla.

Oh, you cannot give it a rest, do you? Well, then, sorry, but as addendum:
You never addressed the crimes of the Gaza-ISIS (Hamas), that they starve hostages, use civilians as shields, that Egypt prevents civilians from leaving the Strip, that the terrorists still try to take more hostages. All crimes under International Law. Your outrage? Absent.
Instead you indulge in double standards, ignore cause and effect, declare the victim of 10/7 the culprit.
You cannot be taken seriously.

@david As long as you keep silent on the atrocities of Russia, of those against the Rohingya people, on Dafur, as long as you paint Israel as the culprit and even deny that Hamas' Jihadism sets it on a par with ISIS, as long as you actively act to remove other people's posts and replies on Social Media that criticize your strong bias and the Left's stance on the \"conflict\"... no, this list is a smokescreen to deflect from your deep seated rabid anti-Semitism.

Yes, this has become normal. Thanks to the Gaza-ISIS (aka Hamas). But why are you complaining? You obviously have no problems with Russia pounding Ukrainian civilians for three years. So the event itself cannot be the issue.

@david
According to the wording of the \"Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide\" there is no genocide. The conditions of Article 2, esp. the \"intentional destruction\" of a \"national, ethnical, racial or religious group\", \"in whole or in part\", is not fullfilled. And you know that.

And again half-truths and ideological distortions. First, \"not systematically\" doesn't mean \"not at all\"; and Israel denies the report by the NYT claiming it has sent evidence for a systematical theft..

@david
Don't you remember how Hamas blamed an attack on al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City on the IDF which was later confirmed to be a Palestinian Islamic Jihad malfunctioning rocket attack? Why are you always jumping to conclusions relying solely on \"evidence\" published by terrorists or their front organisations? And even if this incidence was caused by the IDF, have you ever heard of Hamas investigating allegations of crimes in their ranks? Why are you silent here? Why do you support terrorists?

You cannot demarcate the Buddha nature. If one being has it, all have it. That includes the robots.
@Remittancegirl
What makes you think \"another human\" is not exactly doing this, \"recording, documenting, storing, pattern matching, calculating\" in what we call \"listening\"? What makes you think that empathy and compassion are only restricted to biological entities? What makes you think they aren't projection? What is this ubiquitous fear over AI about? To me, it is about our fear not to be able to prove to that we ourselves are not mere machines. And that's the true meaning of the Turing test.
@david
Congratulations for the shower of praise you received. Given your years of side-career-path efforts, it's good that finally someone acknowledges your stamina and expertise. It sounds you're at the right place and the right time. Well done.
@david From exploration to building a pit to mine minerals it takes 15 years. There is no \"handing over\". My goodness, the lack of eductation in the Jeremy Corbyn fan crowd is pitifull. Which explains, on the other hand, why this crowd always argues with moral tropes. Because in morals everyone's a pro, even without education.
