re: AI's latest achievement: detecting art forgeries

AI is scary and sketchy.
I want nothing to do with it. It will be the end of society.

It’s essentially the core antagonistic dynamic between management and labor.
Management is trying to get the most production they can while paying the least. And, by my Ken, it’s an unwise strategy. You’ll end up losing your best workers because a good worker knows his value, and if management listens to bean counters and squeezes the workers too much, they’ll just find a better gig.
In most things, you get what you pay for. Proof is in the pudding
I agree with you mostly. Management is generally pretty oppressive. Pay $10 an hour and work the workers like dogs.

I'm not missing the point at all. China is sketchy. I try not to buy anything made in China, which is difficult. I'm generally successful except for a few food and herb items that only come from China.
Dr. Phil and similar shows are just awful. Even though most of the shows are set ups, it really highlights the worst elements of society.
Most of the "guests" on those shows are nasty.

Work is so overrated.
It depends on what type of work. I practice the piano almost every day for at least an hour, which is work - but I also enjoy it.

If I can work enough to make a good income, put some money in the bank, take care of all my needs in a manner - I'd rather use that extra time for hobbies like trying to figure out to play golf, reading, fishing, writing, I'm a happier person (I don't work a set work xxx hours a week schedule have specific PTO, etc.)
I don't disagree with that. I am self-employed so I set my own schedule.
Edit: If you can get your chores/work done faster than others, how can you be lazy? Generally people who work fast are the opposite of lazy.

I do grow some herbs. I have no issue with Chinese medicinal herbs as long as I can vet them out.

I would not use any medicine that was made in either India or China.
I'm in good health and rarely take any medicine.
Herbs are the way to go for basic health.
80% is a very scary number.

I started listening to Stone Temple Pilots "Tiny Music" when I was about 12. I listen to it as much as any other album I have (I swiped my first copy from Dad).
Second place would be Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos 4-6 by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra.
I also like the Beethoven and Brahms piano concertos.

Halloween and Mardi Gras parties are my favorite.

have no problem with adults dressing up if they want to, but the ones that get off on scaring little kids, that's a bit much.
Dad threw a Halloween party for me when I was a kid. We went out on a "scary hike" but nothing was scary until one of our farm workers jumped out of a tree in a "psycho" costume.

The simulation discussion is interesting, until you realize that there has been a lot of real life bad stuff over the years.

I would say more of a manipulation than simulation.

When "they" say that lasers "may be able to burn a hole" that means that they are already doing it.

Since we don't have programs which support home ownership for those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, Sanders' rent control program makes a lot of sense.
I do worry about loopholes which will still allow rent gouging.

He was a good friend of my grandfather's. His ranch in West Texas was a nice place to visit.
It is amazing what he did with water out at his ranch. It was very impressive.

White water rafting is more enjoyable to me than kayaking, but I enjoy both.
