Why must people assume malice when incompetence is nearly always to blame? Algorithm not giving good results? The common sense approach is to think “improve the algorithm,” not “the algorithm is malicious.”

Er... No. If they had translation software, they literally could have handed us their language while telling us that our construction of language was responsible for our linear perception of time which was inaccurate with respect to the reality of it.
Oral history in reverse... That... That sounds like the basic premise of a very awesome book.
1. Did they though? We don’t really ever know exactly that that first glyph they give is. It could be the name for their race, Abbott’s name, the name of their ship, their glyph for “human,” etc... Also, they can’t have known English already or they’d have taken the obvious path and just built translation software…
Except he has exactly zero power to create term limits. He can kindly ask his favorite Senators to write one up, but that’s about it. Even if by some miracle it came to a vote, the general consensus would be “lol, no.”
Do not forget that politicians are made by their constituencies. Trump offered (however inaccurately) to improve the lives of the white working class (which does truly need help) and in return, they handed him the white house.
I thought you were talking about automation of manual labor during the 1900s, not the impact of the industrial revolution on farming.
The issue at hand is that the top jobs by employment numbers are things that are liable to be replaced this time around. Previously, the jobs that were replaced were small compared to the overall scale of the workforce. Yes, we’ll invent new jobs, but I find it very unlikely that we’ll create enough fast enough to…
Moral of the story: make sure your people-smashers have emergency cutoff switches!
1. It’s a clip. Things could have been excised.
I mean, the rights were sold for 270 million, so he can’t be that upset.
Yeah... Stormlight Archive makes way more sense as a TV show. Mistborn should translate well to the silver screen though. Wax and Wayne could go either way, I think. Warbreaker would be a movie and Elantris... Let’s just not talk about Elantris...
Well, that and Hoid or the other worldhoppers.
I disagree with the anime bit unless you’re referring to the fact that people on Roshar (asided from the Shin) have epicanthal folds, but beyond that... I don’t really see any anime things. Sure, they have magic and giant magical swords, but it’s not like these are new things to Sanderson. Nightblood is magical,…
His worldbuilding and foreshadowing are second-to-none, but the characters can sometimes be a touch blan. Like, it’s not bad. He’s still awesome, but it depends on what you’re looking for.
So excited!
I’m curious what this does to the Russian budget. Maybe building smaller numbers of bigger nukes will be cheaper to maintain than continuing with their existing arsenal. Honestly, I think this is more a happy coincidence for Putin than something orchestrated. It’s been in the works for years after all.
Until recently, they used third party computer vision so it might not have been possible. It might be possible now.
That just sounds... Needlessly complicated...
Not sure what the evolution being slow comment is in reference to.
