I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg.

He has these ephemeral moments where he just says the obvious thing everyone around him is desperately avoiding and there's something almost offensive about how funny he makes that.

I've had people tell me I'm not giving Trump enough credit before, but this might be the first time I've felt forced to concede they're right.

It seems like it would need very direct rules in the code to just defer to a human tech in the event of not "knowing" the answer.

That would require a wholly different technology with some ability to interpret the things it's saying and assess their validity. It's a lot more cost efficient to have your AI spew bullshit and do damage control afterwards.

I find it funny that this is a NYT article which links to a yahoo news article about a claim made by "a former New York Times journalist". I was about to ask why they were outsourcing to yahoo news a report on what their former employee experienced while under contract with NYT and not mentioning any of this in their own article, but the answer is in the yahoo article, he was forced to resign after using a racial slur. Quality journalism all around.

You're not wrong, but I'm pretty sure calling out factually incorrect memes is what the report button is for.

I was born by C-section! I'm glad we finally have an explanation for how I ended up less stupid than Elon Musk, we got to the bottom of it guys.

This is a false flag to associate criticism of Tesla with redditors.

This doesn't read like ignorance to me. Like a lawyer prompting a witness, this seems like someone asking the questions that allow the interviewee to give the most effective replies.

I can't read the "reply was devastating" line as being personally devastating to an ignorant journalist, because someone in that position didn't need to write that and put it on show. Instead I read it as being devastating to the naive sentiment, perhaps held by the reader, that Vietnam's only legitimate response was to run to the UN.

Thanks, I got this impression reading it too but I wasn't going to investigate myself so straight to the comments in hopes that someone has already validated my intuition.

I kind of feel like if my child died as a direct result of my own stupidity and negligence I probably would find a way to remain in denial over that too. Maybe not for forever, but I don't think I'd be capable of facing that right after.

Not sure if that says something bad about me.

Gonna be honest they did the person woman man camera tv test with me when I was in the hospital with sepsis a couple months ago and I only remembered three of the words at the end, I couldn't get the last two even with reminder hints. Oh well, we can't all have the best brain.

I was almost positive op had some form of "he'll conclude vaccines are the cause" under the spoiler.
