If the AI isn't doing anything, then what's broken is the courts spending good money for something that does nothing. Turn it off so we don't throw good money after bad.
If, on the other hand, the AI does do something of consequence, then it needs to do it right. Unfortunately, a study of it's decisions suggests a significant racial bias in it's training set. If you haven't yet agreed that it should be shut off for being of no consequence, then surely you would prefer that racial bias in sentencing not be one of it's consequences.
That would be a great out for the Democrats. It wouldn't be their fault, they would not have caved, and Trump gets to deal with the bazillion lawsuits and other scandal associated with his vanity emergency.
Fear of punishment doesn't create a moral compass at all, reward for good behavior does. Punishment only works to the degree that the person believes they are being watched (in other words, it only works if you dismantle free society and implement a police state).
That is a terrible article. It claims to talk of all drugs but then talks about risks of injection. It also conflates situational problems (flying a comercial jet under the influence) with the drugs themselves (as if flying drunk is just fine).
There's more insight to be found in "Drugs are bayed, MMMMMKaaaaay"
So you're telling us you have no moral compass but the fear of punishment? Absent that you would freely engage in murder rape and robbery without remorse?
There are such people in the world, and if they cannot be lead to mature in their thinking, lifelong supervision might be the only choice for them, but many can be brought to live reasonably well in society with appropriate guidance and therapy.
If nobody calls out things that are broken, how the hell will they get fixed? Who the hell needs these newfangled electric lights anyway. Quit your bitching about oil lamps.
Imagine how quickly things will go down hill when the indentured servants guarding the prisons and managing air traffic decide they've had enough or just plain don't have enough money to fill the tank for their daily commute!
I wonder how Mr. Border Security will feel when the same happens with Border Patrol agents?
Honestly, their respective unions should get together and give the Senate and President a hard deadline.
That wasn't the argument. The Argument is that it's too much money to just flush down the toilet on an ineffective vanity project.
For example, $500. Not a crazy lot of money, but it's more than lunch money (for most people). $500 is not a lot to pay for a functional laptop to replace one on it's last legs. OTOH, it's a hell of a lot to pay for a spoiled ham sandwich out of a vending machine.
I have enough to buy the laptop if I need it. I don't have enough to pay the same amount for a spoiled ham sandwich out of a vending machine.
The computer is only as good as it's programming. Dig deep enough and you will find some sort of proxy for gender that the software was using as part of the determination.
IF those studies are valid, they would show that you might find fewer women at a given level of inclination, but those you did find would be just as good as their male counterparts.
Note that Lewinsky has gone on record that she was not coerced into her relationship with Clinton. Not saying Clinton didn't answer questions very carefully and sometimes with excessive specificity, but he was not convicted of perjury.
It was a sleazy matter. So is the Trump administration. If Clinton's impeachment was justified (it was), Trump's is now.
The phrase is "high crimes and misdemeanors". It is and was intended to include the sort of slimy matters that may not rise to the level of a crime but nevertheless bring shame to the office of President.
It is if you're offering a FREE service. That kinda precludes getting that dollar a user a year back.
Why don't we really kill spam and make emails cost $0.50/message? Then we can kill DDOS by charging $0.25/page for web browsing. We can blast ourselves back to the '70s in no time!
And, of course, this just happens to net Verizon a few million extra per year. But I'm sure they didn't even think of that!
You mean the perjury that a judge ruled to be immaterial. He was NOT impeached for abuse of his office (The GOP brought that up for consideration, but it failed). I'm not saying that Clinton did no wrong. I'm not saying his moral compass isn't broken. Personally, I don't think much of a married man who can't keep it in his pants, but I can think of a BIG reason such a man might later lie about it that has nothing to do with his office (hint, he was married to it).
It was a bit amusing how many Republican congressmen who voted to impeach got ratted out for their own infidelities.
No question, the whole "affair" was sleazy, but it was not a High crime. It was certainly misdemeanors.
Kinda like Trump complaining bitterly that the media was against him and the election was rigged while he was instructing his people to give strippers hush money and rigging public polls.
But while there are probably a few traits that we're wired to find attractive, many are based on
social queues. Generally, whatever is harder to achieve.
Today, where many work indoors and food is plentiful, the standard is thin and tan. In the past when food was expensive and most worked outdoors, the standard was plump and pale.
Except the sad part is it looks like even such a person with $200 burning a hole in their pocket would be hard pressed to find the headphones for sale.

Your own argument suggests that Trump's wall is unnecessary, we've already got one.
So you're suggesting I should spend $500 on a spoiled ham sandwich out of a vending machine when I'm not even hungry.
Buit MOOOOOOOM! I NEEEEEED a Supreme brick! It's ONLY $1000! It's a MATTER of LIFE and DEATH!
You mean do better than the hand waving you did?
Trump does, after all, have a history of stiffing people who do work for him.
So Trump's new wall is expensive and unnecessary. Any purpose it might serve is already handled by the existing infrastructure.
That would be a great out for the Democrats. It wouldn't be their fault, they would not have caved, and Trump gets to deal with the bazillion lawsuits and other scandal associated with his vanity emergency.
It's supposed to be, but Trump seems to be showing dementia and has presented the invoice to the wrong people.
Fear of punishment doesn't create a moral compass at all, reward for good behavior does. Punishment only works to the degree that the person believes they are being watched (in other words, it only works if you dismantle free society and implement a police state).
So you're in favor of banning mowing the lawn? I'v actually seen a bystander get hit by a rock thrown by a lawnmower. It's not a victim less crime!

I'll let Kipling explain that to you.
The computer is only as good as it's programming. Dig deep enough and you will find some sort of proxy for gender that the software was using as part of the determination.
You flunk statistics.
IF those studies are valid, they would show that you might find fewer women at a given level of inclination, but those you did find would be just as good as their male counterparts.
Your resorting to name calling suggests that yours is the weaker position. Just something for you to think about.

The term is "high crimes and misdemeanors". During the Clinton administration, the GOP set the bar at fibbing about an extramarital BJ.
A picture is worth 1000 words.
