Way to go ignoring the entire history of feminism and its formation

Emphasis added. Storing files is not the problem. Nobody cared when they were just scanning and storing them. The problem arose when they started giving out copies. And worse, giving out copies without restriction - libaries “lend” ebooks by using DRM systems to try to ensure that only a specific number of copies are out “in circulation” at any given time, and so the big publishers have turned a blind eye to that.

But libraries do not do that to limit access… (I think, unless there is some kind of copyright law making it necessary to restrict access). Don’t they do do that because they have a limited number of book copies that they need to maintain to meet the book lending demands in their area? Seems to me like they are just trying ro maximise people’s access to books given the constraints. Any digital library can obviously do this much faster.

It’s not only that it discriminated against certain groups, but also that it in itself has a high enough error rate to make it unusable for any decision making. MAYBE to select people for screening, but we would be falling further down into a dystopian future.

At the current performance, none if these AIs should be involved in anything this critical.

Everyone world wide has a huge problem with the death toll, except for pro-Israelis. That irks me.

You totally lost me with your arguement at “so he had to falsify some books”.

Generally I agree that not all crimes are equal and that what you have written good be a good interpretation of how Trump supporters may trivialize the matter.

Isn’t the US Israel’s main weapons and freebie supplier?

I found them to be useful because I usee to be in an erratic team where people either get a lot done or drag projects on for years. At least the project draggers had no place to hide when needing to report their project daily.

In my current job we only have these stand-up type meetings once weekly which made a big difference because many people had more interesting things to report and it wasn’t some kind of lip service, instead people were genuinely haring progress.
