VP, AI and Machine Learning @GSK. Building platforms to learn the mechanisms of disease. I hate cancer in particular.
Medical school would have to change a lot for a student who's primary education looks like that to get in or pass. Neither is easy to do.
It's more likely that the the kids not cheating are going to have wildly better opportunities, and your surgeon will be a highly accurate robot anyway.

I've not been a defender of the NYT, but it was on the homepage of the app. On the same day they called out admin lies and correctly covered the unacceptable piggy statement. Not sure why ours is different (perhaps algorithmic).

This. If the feed is algorithmically optimized for revenue, it's unavoidable that it will optimize for disinformation and division because they increase revenue.
Although a better solution than to leave would be to form an open social network literally owned by the users with hard rules on the feed

"The wages are so far below subsistence that government has to subsidize food" isn't a real compelling "come to america" argument.

Maybe we could create a new nobel prize category for unprecedented achievements in bullshit and disinformation, for which the president would be a shoe-in.

Fun fact: with a wealth tax (such as on Gates), restoration of labor protections (which he was part of eroding), and non-linear land tax (which only impacts the very very wealthy, like Gates) we'd have more than enough revenue to eliminate poverty, inequality, and support climate change legislation.

That's pretty harsh as burns go.

Yeah but, like, we have people whose Yacht's have Yacht's.

It is indeed a low bar, made worse coming from a man who is markedly contributing to the problem (via AI compute).

Also, its not certain at all. The current rate of CO2 emissions so much higher than what is believed to have occured in the Permian-Triassic extinction event, for example.

Their fear that Mamdani's ideas might work is palpable.

This is definitely how we got here. However, as return on wealth is significantly outpacing labor, a billion dollars will be a trillion in a few decades while median wealth declines. This runaway wealth inequality is fundamentally unstable and had to be addressed with the system issues you mention.

Someone should let her know noting that demographic profile most likely to be convicted of child sexual assault is white Republican Congressmen and their cabinet members. So if you want to keep perverts out of bathrooms, that would be the place to start.

That Dr. Oz can't handle a simple linear equation explains a few things.

Specifically, the transparency he promised to Trump.

Partially, but you need to know that dissent and protest is not covered in the primary media outlets, even when the numbers are in the tens of thousands. Be careful not to promote a narrative that helping the same people you're flagging as dangerous.

Yeah, I'm a fan of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, too.
