Do companies and billionerds really think this "teach everyone to code" is going to produce a more capable workforce? What's their angle - drive wages down?
No, it's what the gp said: "born rich" was his preparation, and "born rich" was his opportunity. You and me should have been smart enough to plan ahead like that.
Assuming you believe lie detector results, it sounds like they were just measuring how honest the participants were about how many naughty words they new. And from that perspective it goes without saying that there would be a correlation between being honest and reporting more words.
Also, as regards holding back on the actual use of naughty words (which, BTW, they didn't measure), they need to consider the difference between "dishonesty" and "manners".

However, its size will be anything but small. The machine is expected to fill a large building,
That's OK. To (mis)quote Thomas Watson, I doubt the world will need more than 5 quantum computers.
Surely you only need one - it could perform all possible computations at once.
70% is not good enough.
Probably good enough to serve for snake oil for grieving relatives.
(Which is presumably what it was designed for.)
Sorry to be the skeptic, but 70% of the time isn't really that high
That would be a pathetic result in machine learning.
I wonder if it was double-blind.
I wonder if 50% of the test questions were 'yes' and 50% 'no'.
I wonder whether the test questions were presented in random order.
I wonder if it requires a human interpretor.
I wonder if other researchers can duplicate the results.
Sounds like someone is trying to apply a lie detector to unconscious people.
What does this even mean in a non-teleological universe?
"We're moving in the direction gravity is pulling us."
Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote his memoir by blinking one eye.
But we need to take that liver now.
The currently profitable companies buy a legislature to outlaw competition.
Let the record show that Zuckerberg was an asshole long before he had money.
I don't think being an AH is strictly a prerequisite to getting rich, but it certainly seems to help.
If you followed Trump at all before the election, you'd realize that Trump is actually quite smart
I did follow him before the election, and came to the conclusion that he's as dumb as he is ignorant, and as ignorant as he is assholy.

Does it apply now, or after everyone learns to program?
No, it's "Hold my beer and watch this."
Once again inanimate rock you have failed us you helped out the dinosaurs god really does hate us
By no means. This is just God's way of reminding us not to get caught doing what the dinosaurs got caught doing.
the earth is over 4 billion years old and has had icecaps for 20% of the time.
What's the maths on 4 billion vs 120 years?
How long has the Industrial Age been going on?
Think how hot it might have been if global warming was real!
If executives are held accountable, the terriz have already won.
We've lowered the bar for "pure evil".
Maybe they consider that other stuff adulterated evil.
For starters, this decision is non-precedential.
Not everyone gets to be the precident.
What did they find on the phone?
It must have been a big-ass drone to do that kind of damage.
Probably it's the UFO spotted earlier in Chile.
Maybe having dementia causes more people to drive past where you live.
