That's the internet. Have you seen the Drudge Report within the last decade? Or The Blaze?

They're slamming one company for something that's very common throughout the internet.

And the tool they're using to do so is WILDLY broad.

We don't have a bunch of people who own things and collect rent off them instead of working?

Yeah, we don't have dukes or counts with hereditary titles, but we absolutely have people who fulfill the other characteristics of an aristocracy

Only in specific circumstances. From Wikipedia on conservation of matter

> In reality, the conservation of mass only holds approximately and is considered part of a series of assumptions in classical mechanics. The law has to be modified to comply with the laws of quantum mechanics and special relativity under the principle of mass-energy equivalence, which states that energy and mass form one conserved quantity. For very energetic systems the conservation of mass only is shown not to hold, as is the case in nuclear reactions and particle-antiparticle annihilation in particle physics.

> Mass is also not generally conserved in open systems. Such is the case when various forms of energy and matter are allowed into, or out of, the system. However, unless radioactivity or nuclear reactions are involved, the amount of energy escaping (or entering) such systems as heat, mechanical work, or electromagnetic radiation is usually too small to be measured as a decrease (or increase) in the mass of the system.

AND NEITHER IS ChatGPT

No original information comes from ChatGPT. It is just a repository.

That's my point.

"quoting" ChatGPT as a source is also stupid, because it's neither a primary (best) source, or even a secondary source, like a newspaper article.

It's just a random assortment of (mostly correct) information. That's the same reason why academia doesn't currently allow Wikipedia as a source for information.

>it’s well known that it has passed multiple professional exams.

Well yeah. There's very clearly defined correct answers for professional exams.

When a student is writing an essay, the primary objective is creating and defending an argument. Abdicating that responsibility to ChatGPT is circumventing the entire point of the assignment

If you read the second half of the article, it's not really about Twitter, it's about oversight of algorithms generally.

Author is basically arguing for government creating an external "machine learning ethics" oversight committee and/or open sourcing everyone's algorithms to public entities for bias checking.

Yeah, there's like a dozen of those, but there are thousands of smaller companies, and other fortune 500 companies that aren't tech focused who are still hiring.

Job market is hotter now than its been in decades

>he is actually delivering on freedom of speech

Super freedom.

He really freedommed that kid who was tracking his jet. And all those journalists who said things he didn't like.

Nothing says freedom quite like banning people from your platform.

Is he absolutely within his rights to do that as the owner of the platform? Sure. But is he a "free speech absolutist" like he claims? Absolutely not.

He's not a joke. He's a tool of the establishment.

Cramer promotes whatever Brian Roberts and his fiends want to sell. The people who watch Cramer buy that stock, the price goes up, and the primary holders sell.

That's why he's so consistently wrong.

Lately lots of /r/<technologyhelp> posts are easily googleable questions, and people think it's easier to ask reddit directly, than Google the answer (which likely has a top result that's a reddit post from the last time somebody asked)

Yeah, i got sucked into buying dogecoin back when it was at 0.32 by some acquaintances who bought it when it was fractions of a cent. Now it's at 0.07.

Wish I'd had 10 grand to put into bitcoin when it was 2k, and I was telling everyone I knew to buy.
