Should have gotten a cane and tell her it's not lupus

Damn, you're thirsty 😁 But as a chubby guy with a beard I thank you for making my day!

How are you doing wiggles eyebrows?

There is has been a long campaign to make Americans dumber. Easier to control and more perceptive to propaganda.

Look at the state of the education system. This happened not by chance but by design.

On the other hand... She just got a 'miraculous' birth and three dudes with expensive gifts show up for it... If I were Joseph I would be extremely suspicious

No, I don't think so. AI is just getting better.

Still that AI, even with a lot of time and compute, got easy tasks wrong, so we don't have AGI yet, if that makes you feel better.

I don't understand why people have such a hate-boner for AI that they can't believe that there's advancement in AI research.

AI is in a strange place where it is very good at many tasks while making errors a five year old wouldn't do.

But it's a relatively young technology so it will probably get better for quite some time.

Amazon search was never good, but it was not a problem before it got flooded with cheap Chinese crap.

The cheap Chinese crap makes Amazon worse, which results in loss of customers, which frightens the Shareholders (line has to go up), to increase the profit the management milks their cash cow (AKA cheap Chinese crap sellers) so more Chinese crap is in the site. The circle of life.

There is a real chance that a great change is coming. If most of the problems with AI can be overcome (though that's far from certain) there will be a change in the job market of dimensions never seen before. A gigantic loss of jobs and a booming market at the same time.

If that happens and the politicians drop the ball this can be a time of great human suffering and a divide between the rich and the poor worse than ever before.

On the other hand an implementation of general basic income and social redistribution of wealth could lead to a golden age where working is a choice not a necessity.

I know which one I would be betting on. I'm not sure if changes to the current system will be even possible without a violent revolution.

Oh, we could probably create giant trees with selective breeding and gene editing. But those trees would still need hundreds of years to grow (and that's a good thing, since it would store CO2 while growing) and if there are problems with the gene editing we would only notice after decades.

I don't have any ravens and I like to keep both eyes. Other than that and a few pounds too much I am well on my way to look like this

I would be much less against pro-life if the movement would focus on better care for would-be-mothers, easier adoption and better oversight, financial support for girls who give up their children, increasing adoption numbers, better sex ed, etc. instead of banning abortions.

They are exclusively focusing on the worst way to reduce abortions.

During COVID I was shown how easy it was to work from home. Now everybody is back at the office again, because they said it is so important to have the personal contact with your peers.

Now I know about my coworkers bike tour and about another's gardening project. And all I had to give up for that is about an hour of additional sleep and the money and resources that goes into my car.

Insanity.
