Why the two voices? Its lawful, or it isn't. Investigate facts and then say the answer.
Oh yeah, the answer isn't what she wants. So she needs to both-sides it.

Yes! One major point if AI is processing heaps of noisy "data:" texts, images, etc, and returning useful summaries or patterns. If it might return hallucinations, a person has to troll through the data pile to verify.

Yep. Today you're a removalist. Tomorrow you stuff envelopes.
Then you get two or three days of being broke. Just turn up to the labour hire place at 6am and leave at 10 because there's no work.

The ND state capitol is one such. Elevators have bronze doors with working-class people, and chandeliers are giant wheat stalks. Very prairie socialist.

Two issues. 1, with Trump or anyone similar, all agreements are useless. Can't trust. But -- maybe more importantly -- 2, the escalation and nuke fears are still there, same as in Biden years. Even a "normal" prez would think twice before committing US troops.

Yeah nobody's saying to not help homeless people. Will isn't a Republican.
Though, the data is households, right? So its not capturing people who live at home? Or who live in share housing but might prefer to get their own place?

I dunno, if its looking more at old-timey words, does that just mean it finds the old-timey word patterns? Like the college kids in Good Will Hunting where their ideas are just a mishmash of what they've been hearing more?

Similar things in rock mechanics. Lots of practices & heuristics that work well, but the how & why isn't obvious. So I need to finish my thesis about my tiny part.
The field gets like 1/100th the funding of medicine (though still way more, per student, than most humanities departments)

There's a ton of labs, postdocs, etc chasing up what are probably dead ends. They would probably love to reverse engineer an actual, working cancer cure that a machine "discovers."

You and your fiancee should talk seriously about your long-term plans. International marriage is hard, lots of paperwork, but you do get to pick which country you live in. And, yes, the risk of separation is real, a lot of people discovered that during covid.

We do teach a broad range of subjects in high school. That's no reason to not also teach a broad range in university. Young adults getting a chance to explore stuff they might not have thought of, before they get pigeon-holed into whatever job they get.

With a mature-age student, yeah, job training is OK. Though an "advocate" should know rhetoric, and logic, and be able to write and speak well.
With a 19yo just getting into uni, it's a good opportunity to teach them all the aspects of being informed citizen. Art, science, math, history, etc.

People jump through hoops because admitting "Russia is the aggressor" is too simple. They want complex nuance and self-flagellation, maybe it makes them feel smart? Or gives the illusion of control? Because if Russian attacks were NATO'S fault then we can stop them happening.
