Yeah, you're probably just biased against someone you know who has a CS degree, or is getting one. It's how humans work.

Exactly this. The whole point of these exercises is putting the inferior races in their place.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, become product managers.

It's telling that the profound statements are inherently prosaic. So are they really 'profound' or categorized so because they can be tied to some kind of natural or observable or relatable phenomena. I guess that doesn'

Agreed. And can't we just employ humans to do this? Give them a job and such?

This cannot be overstated. Also, we are treating this planet like we've got options elsewhere. This is setting people up for a rude awakening, whenever that may be down the line.

> Women, of course work as doctors for more that a single year, but on average they do work less over their lifetimes than male physicians. What data supports this statement, or is it good old fashion common sense and gut instinct?

Or, if it's from someone I don't like anyways or want others to dislike/disregard: manipulative.

I am not sure how viable this hiring model is for companies that want to develop bleeding edge IP. Speaking only about development jobs: contractors are nomadic, they're not tied or married to your success or failure. From a developer

Well, if you're thinking sentient, AI beings, then no-- they are still a long way off. Unless we can give any meaning behind why a robot should do something, for example, have and use this kind of dexterity, it's all mechanical tr

> I'm not sure how "we should treat others better" can be implemented in practice? This is an honest question from you, but to some it might seem like a no-brainer. I think a lot of it has to with personality types.

It's not dangerous and unethical if humans are there to pass final judgment on the answers. I was saying we can get to point where we might not even need that. This technology is in development, it has a lot of potential it can, will p

I suggest holding on to the knee jerk reaction till you read the whole post..? I never said these tools will never be worthy of trust and performance at the levels we attribute to humans, but at their current point, there are some tasks tha

We're putting a lot of faith in tools that can best be described as immature. I don't think it's out of the question to get A.I. (not speaking of Watson, which is A.I. adjacent) to the point where it can perform perfectly at

Interesting choice, Wizard of Oz. One question I've always wondered, what to do about narcissists who think someone else is the narcissist? Also, funny thing I've seen happen at work: there was someone this one (but influential) p

Should we start holding food chemists accountable for weight gain and obesity? Rhetorical question aside, there's a lot of stimuli competing for our attention in any given day. Since we've created this brave new world, I think it

Ill-defined though it may be, there's still an understandable difference between data science and data engineering.

Similarly, rule #4: Google candidate. What happens if candidate doesn't have Google presence? Or if there are other people with the same name as the candidate who have weird websites or videos posted somewhere. Give me a break, let&#x2

It may not be something covered by the article, but this is not false. And those who don't do it, are not virtuous paragons or whatever- they either haven't done it, didn't think of it, or got caught.
