Did you know actual snake oil was used in traditional Chinese medicine for arthritis. Aparently it’s quite high in Omega-3. But it got popular and then grifters started selling random concoctions and calling it snake oil and that’s how it became synonymous with quackery.
Not really related to the point of your comment, I just read about it recently and thought it was interesting.
I guess at least you know they can’t evangelise?
Yeh bangle.JS is this I think
In this video about Lavender AI which is Israel’s Palantir, they talk about the accuracy score that the AI gives targets for how sure it is that they are Hamas. It is used to determine how expensive the weapons to take that person out, and how many innocent bystanders they are willing to take out along with that target.
Oof. Poignant.
Would you be able to tell me how to do this? I’m on mobile, I have admittedly only spent a few seconds searching but I can’t see modlogs.
Oh god I almost don’t want to say this in this environment…
Techy people aren’t the most intelligent in other/all areas just because they have some technical expertise.
I have worked with, and interacted with people, all my life who are technically very intelligent in some specific way, and even been one of these people… Who thinks that one area of proficiency grants them unearned respect in other areas.
Eg." I’m great at maths therefore I’m logically infallible". Or “I’m an engineer, so I know exactly how society should function best”." I’m a doctor so my every opinion on everything is more important than yours".
