Passing information between two simultaneously existing entities? Get outta here! All cultures use the Jung collective unconscious to store knowledge!
It seems the subject of AI causes lemmites to lose all their braincells.
Please read the comment more carefully. The observation is that one can proliferate a (legally-attained) work without running afoul of copyright law if one can successfully argue that

I wrote a script called
please. You inputpleasefollowed by any other command (e.g.please git clone,please wget blahblah) and a robotic voice will say “affirmative,” then the command will run, and when it completes, the robotic voice reads out the exit code (e.g. “completed successfully” or “failed with status 1” etc.)This is useful for when you have a command that takes a long time and you want to be alerted when it’s finished. And it’s a gentleman.
Self-driving not being reliable yet is one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade.
the word “kill” is typically used in regards to warfare, not murder, so I’m not sure why you would say in this instance that it was written as though it wasn’t an act of war.

I said it’s like HIV, as an analogy. I intentionally chose something not genetic.
What about sex? Height? ADHD? Skin/hair color?
All of these things are mutable already (or treatable, in the case of ADHD). But “diversity” and a serious disorder like Down Syndrome are completely different things. Why should we embrace Down Syndrome when we could eradicate it? If you really believe that Down Syndrome is a good thing, then why not invent whole new disorders for the sake of adding diversity?
Thank you, this is the high-quality answer I was looking for.
Or testosterone instead of estrogen. Though I’m doubtful that exchanging X and Y chromosomes will change the physiological function of your existing organs that much.
I honestly just meant to do this for no other reasons than to flip the bird to conservatives who arbitrarily define sex chromosomally.
That is a compelling argument. I can’t deny society sucks. But in this case, should we not be promoting down syndrome? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to have down syndrome? Do we have reason to believe that a society run exclusively by people with down syndrome would be better than other societies, or are the people you know with down syndrome better than the typical person because they receive a lot of care? These are earnest questions by the way, and not meant to be rhetorical.
The article was not clear about what stage in someone’s life the CRISPR treatment can be applied. I would have assumed early in gestation. But this raises questions such as how down syndrome would be detected at that stage. If in vitro is the method, then why not simply filter out down syndrome at that stage?
This is such a bad take. Eugenics and gene therapy are completely different things. It’s like the difference between developing a cure for HIV vs adopting a policy that people with HIV be killed. Eugenics is an evil pseudoscience from the 19th century, do not conflate it with actual genetics research that can improve the human condition.
There are many people with what some would consider a “defect” to be fixed that live incredibly fulfilling lives and bring an irreplaceable uniqueness to the world.
Sure but the same thing can be said of any illness. There are wonderful anxiety-riddled or depressed people in the world. Should we prevent them from getting anti-depressants because it would make them less unique?
Then what the heck is your point? If they would not become worse for being cured of down syndrome, then what’s the dilemma?
I did not realize CRISPR was so powerful as to remove chromosomes entirely. Can CRISPR be used to change someone’s genetic sex? Republicans would freak out.

Also, most cartridges contain games as I understand it; only some are keys.
The important thing is that they can tune this to attempt to hold false negatives constant while decreasing false positive rate.
I’d just like to point out that, from the perspective of somebody watching AI develop for the past 10 years, completing 30% of automated tasks successfully is pretty good! Ten years ago they could not do this at all. Overlooking all the other issues with AI, I think we are all irritated with the AI hype people for saying things like they can be right 100% of the time – Amazon’s new CEO actually said they would be able to achieve 100% accuracy this year, lmao. But being able to do 30% of tasks successfully is already useful.
