Actually I believe the correct term is, "fascism"

Correction: Education is not OK.

AI is just giving poor kids the same opportunities rich kids have had for decades. Opportunities for cheating the system that was made specifically not to give students the best education possible but instead to bring them up to speed on the bare minimum required to become factory workers.

Except we don't have very many factories any more. And we don't have jobs for all these graduates that pay a living wage.

The banks are going to have to get involved soon. They're going to have to figure out a way to load up working-age people with long term debt without college being involved.

Not covered on the site: The fact that San Francisco experiences earthquakes. Unlike all those other cities it sources as being perfectly fine with completely different building standards.

To summarize: Requiring installation by electricians means that people will still DIY... They just won't bother to get a permit/get it inspected.

Whereas allowing DIY encourages permits and inspection.

Ah yes. I'm actually impressed that they were able to determine that he was "Verified BS" so quickly.

It's just like that scene in Gattaca where the police use a DNA-testing handheld vacuum to collect evidence after that beautiful mechanical keyboard was murdered.

If they're bringing on "IT leadership" people then the only place where they're going to be bossing people around is cubicles, conference rooms, and operations centers.

They may get people killed but it will be because they underestimated the damages caused by their hackers. In fact, I highly suspect that there will be a huge "collateral damage" incident from US/Israel hackers using an undisclosed vulnerability to break into something that "the bad guys" then use to break into some important systems all over the world.

Imagine a major industrial control vulnerability that gets turned into a worm by Iran that then causes massive explosions and chemical fires all over the world. Even in countries that have nothing to do with their current conflict.

The "front line" in that war is an operations center somewhere in the US where they control spy satellites and tell our allies, submarines, & other remote equipment what to do.
