But only temporarily

but is it?

I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn’t use it before, the improvment will stay.

When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one

so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?

corps justify a lot of horribble shit for financial reasons. Is that better?

who else should be a significant backer for an open source project? google? microsoft?

That’s still not how governments work

It would be nice if it worked like that, but we both know it doesn’t

At the ML course at uni they said verbatime that they are plagiarism machines?

Did they not explain how neural networks start generalizing concepts? Or how abstractions emerge during the training?

I think the “Destitute” level should drop the case and replace it with a paperclip (to bridge the power button)

As usual, the US is already one step ahead: they cut out the middleman by skiping a step.
