The article spends more time on Zelensky, who doesn’t actually seem to be implicated in any of this corruption beyond the fact that he had unrelated dealings with Mindich, than it does on Mindich himself, who didn’t even get his name mentioned in the headline.
This is clearly not a trustworthy news source.
Literally every time I hear the “actually if you read between the lines what Jesus meant is…” trope it turns out that the person saying it is exactly the sort of person that would wear a MAGA hat.
Anyone remember when Wikipedia was the default byword for Unreliable Internet Source? The internet used to be good.
OP should have specified Brewster’s Millions rules to avoid all the boring answers
But what if bias was not the reason? What if your face gave genuinely useful clues about your probable performance?
I hate this so much, because spouting statistics is the number one go-to of idiot racists and other bigots trying to justify their prejudices. The whole fucking point is that judging someone’s value someone based on physical attributes outside their control, is fucking evil, and increasing the accuracy of your algorithm only makes it all the more insidious.
The Economist has never been shy to post some questionable kneejerk shit in the past, but this is approaching a low even for them. Not only do they give the concept credibility, but they’re even going out of their way to dishonestly paint it as some sort of progressive boon for the poor.
Define “held accountable”?
If you mean who will pay out if there’s an accident, presumably Waymo will have found an insurer willing to cover them. But if you mean that someone out there must be punished to satisfy some sense of vengeance, then you may want to re-examine your values.
Thanks for that, though not for also obfuscating that it’s the President of Syria you’re talking about. It’s a very different story when you miss that part out, isn’t it?
What’s “ISIS in White House” in reference to? I don’t think there’s even any Muslims in the Trump cabinet, are there? I’m sure he’s made some sort of racist connection but it’s so tenuous I can’t even tell what it’s supposed to be.
Marrow was interested in “how public institutions decide what’s worth showing, and what happens when something outside that system appears within it”.
Wanky pretentious edgelord crap. It’s obvious what happens when you put up a shit AI-generated poster in a museum without permission. Someone asks the staff why there’s a shit AI-generated poster on the wall and they take it down. Other artists have done the “sneaking something into a gallery” thing way better than this many times before.
Sure, Art is supposed to make you think and react. But art that makes you think “wow that guy completely failed at every aspect of this” is of no value. The true scandal isn’t that he did it, it’s that some dumbfuck at the BBC thought it was worth reporting on.
Eh. I don’t know what the specific story behind OP’s post was, but generally whenever I see things like “they gave life to the community” or whatever trotted out as a defense of a banned poster, it was usually an idiot troll whose usual contribution was to derail every discussion and piss people off. They only gave life to community if you define “life” as a high post count, which is a flawed metric for this very reason.
Hopping on this to share that Milo Learns made by some of my Cambodian friends also just added Japanese for conversation practice. It has an online community as well if you don’t like talking to an AI. But sadly it is freemium, so OP wins on that front. https://milo.niy.ai/
“Massive trillion dollar corporations are behaving absolutely fucking atrociously, so we need to do the same” is such an awful take that it makes me doubt the legitimacy of this user account.
Your phrasing implies that the issue was that farmers all sat about at home not working because they weren’t getting paid. There were plenty of problems, but I’ve seen scant evidence that that the threat of getting fired for not doing your job was even in the top three.
I remember when rofl was ROTFL
Ugh why did you have to make Quaxwell hot
This is going to be a complicated wank
Not bizarre at all.
The point isn’t “they can’t do word games therefore they’re useless”, it’s “if this thing is so easily tripped up on the most trivial shit that a 6-year-old can figure out, don’t be going round claiming it has PhD level expertise”, or even “don’t be feeding its unreliable bullshit to me at the top of every search result”.
A fairly wide range of problems in modern society can be traced to the judiciary’s reluctance to both prosecute and sentence the rich with the same rigor they apply to the poor.
Also this story is very old but gets reposted all the time always explicitly stirring anti-vegan snark with captions like “Least annoying vegan”.
The meat industry is one of the worst polluters on the planet and they spend a lot of money pushing anti-vegan sentiment.
