Sure, but that’s just Sturgeon’s Law.

Isn’t that what peertube is for?

I can see how this might be true if an AI can respond to individual cues from a single kid, which a teacher can’t reliably do because they have to look after 30 kids at once.

I’m skeptical that those cue responses will be reasonable though. Maybe in the mean, but I reckon there’s gonna be some wild and potentially traumatic edge cases.

I’m not convinced that’s the screenwriters’ fault. I think more likely its that the mainstream movie industry knows that pastiche crap is what is most profitable, so that’s all it funds.

Similar with pop music. Most stuff that gets made is garbage. But it doesn’t mean that amazing stuff isn’t being made, it’s just that you have to hunt for it.

Movies are worse because the resource and people requirements for a single movie are much more substantial than for a single album.

True. That would be a minescule fraction of what’s there though…

It’s funny how we all grow up thinking that law is this immutable set of rules that can’t be broken or bad things happen to you…

Reality is there’s no rules, there’s just power, and some vague guidelines that might tell you how that’s power’s going to be used. And if it seems like the power won’t be able to use those guidelines for their own benefit, then they’ll get them changed.

CO is not a significant greenhouse gas. (And N20 is…)

Are diamond particulates likely to burn if they’re dispersed in the atmosphere?

I don’t think that question is as simple as you think. Peaceful protest is much more likely to garner public support, at least until things are critical. And taking weapons to a protest in the US seems like an almost guaranteed way to die, one way or another. Not saying the cops are well trained with weapons, but neither are the general public.

How would guns have helped in the George Floyd case?

Is it though? The US still has the death penalty, and the person who commits those killings just gets paid and goes home.

And none of those people of death row are responsible for even a small fraction of the evil private health insurers are capable of.

Labour in the UK haven’t offered anything new since Tony Blair, and even then it wasn’t new in a good way. It almost looked like they might with Corbyn, but they destroyed him themselves.
