Yes, but none of that applies to a South African born in South Africa to South African parents.

As someone who has extensive personal experience with severe mental illness, I appreciate very much your desire to defend us (your instinct would usually be right), but psychopathy is a weird one. If the previous commenter had said “mental illness” instead of psychopathy specifically, I’d be pissed. But there is evidence that psychopaths advance in business management.

Some search engines and social media platforms make at least half-assed efforts to prevent or add warnings to this stuff, because anorexia in particular has a very high mortality rate, and age of onset tends to be young. The people advocating AI models be altered to prevent this say the same about other tech. It’s not techphobia to want to try to reduce the chances of teenagers developing what is often a terminal illness, and AI programmers have the same responsibility on that as everyone else,

Yeah. Not being legally required to abandon principles in favor of short-term profits for shareholders is tight.

“Data” is a mighty broad category to be “driving” anything.

I dunno, if my bro’s plants grow more, there won’t be room in his place for him. 😉

Also, there’s not a large, well-funded far-left movement in the US fighting to radicalize people.

People hate exercise, too. Not doing it will shorten their lives, but they hate it.
