Yeah, I wish the Boomers in my family would understand just how privileged their life is/was.

Gross. AIDS could have probably been contained if the US government did something about it. Instead, Reagan, the boomers’ collecting favorite person in history, did nothing but make things worse and mock/malign the victims.

Also, nice of him to take credit for the circumstances of his life. As of it was his choice to be born when he was and not in some other time. I guess that’s how he can be at peace with everything happening, though. Simultaneously crediting himself with circumstances he had no say in while existing himself of responsibility for the current circumstances.

Wow, you’re so clever to see the obvious consequences of what he said. It’s pretty amazing that he said all this without realizing.

Hey, but here’s a thought: perhaps that point was his intention all along!? Perhaps sometimes people say one thing to draw attention to another unsaid thing? Could that happen? If it did, rather than you being clever, it would make you look like an idiot.

Hinton—who was a leader in the development of machine learning and who, since resigning from Google, last year, has become a public authority on A.I. threats—was asked about the efficacy of safeguards on A.I. “My advice is to be seventy-six,” he said.

I think you missed something.
