This isn't even about competency really as the cost of AI is being artificially depressed through all of these businesses running at a loss. It might be insane to stick in a blender with US labor statistics. Hopefully not the kind the WH uses?

There are a lot of different things falling under the umbrella of AI. You're right to be skeptical of an algorithm's ability to estimate another algorithm's ability in practice. They're testing how well the buzzword tech can move the needle on numbers the fed obsesses over. Really pigeonholing the tech into profitability. Best uses of this tech will be in balancing electricity flows through the country, with inputs including population + industry usage, weather patterns & other renewable energy variables (these are very much a social good but you can already hear capital hissing at the thought). Humans already operate many cybernetic systems that turn on volition, with inputs adjusted to make them exploitative. Streamlining them is going to rip the balls right off for sure. As I often quote Michael Parenti by recently, "You're stupid if you think they're stupid," it goes nicely with "the purpose of a system is what it does."

I'm sure there is plenty of chaff to cut in finance and healthcare etcetera, in my heart I want to believe in a coming Burger Decimation, but US labor statistics are absolutely cooked. Having read practically nothing about the model they're using, I would appreciate if anyone can tell how accurate it is.

Wah wah wah an open source developer asked me for money! I'm a victim! Everyone give me attention! Wah wah wah!

Yeah, it's something that made me think of the age of the operating system itself, since that's been a discussion recently with Motorola.

To get imaginative, in a mode pf production beyond capitalism, though, I think the device level age locking would be pretty sick. I get that a lot of people had what they consider helpful formative experiences on the internet, but hearing about them, I think they are just nostalgic and those experiences weren't as valuable as they imagined.

Many will disagree with me because they haven't considered this is the only way to let adults play counter-strike without the damn kids in the way.

Do you seriously think that anybody is going to invade Japan? You're completely missing my point about the rail guns. They're not even going to play a part in war with China. Japan knows this

You're going to need to redirect this message to the RAND Corporation. The highest levels of the U.S. military have far greater doubts than your slop permits you to.

I'm sure it's just some kind of buzzword, but why is the term "sovereign" now a part of this? Really rubs me the wrong way considering Google is encircling Africa in cable.

I blame Chomsky.

Hell, Chinese retailers would send me a notification about this $17 iPad to refund me $0.30 because the price dropped. They need to get with the times. Nobody even uses pads other than Twitter addicts, babies, and old people.
