- It's so strange to me that this is acceptable for the NYT given what has been coming out. More old tweets keep surfacing.. https://mobile.twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/450398906698842... https://mobile.twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/937858435361542...

- Wanting to keep the forum honest isn't "off-topic", and I'm not sure what "metaflamebait" is.. Thanks for the link to the query, but would it show everything that has been flagged?

- If the traction is informationally contained to enemies of those in positions of power, that would be pretty insincere, but if they let it happen and managed to create a new standard for how people in power should act in private-- that would be good news.
- Not sure how this relates to my comment..
- Isn't it better to see it from the perspective of 'people in power can be sinful', rather than 'because there were some female leaders early on in a (highly propagandistic) movement then they most be on the side of women? Even still, there are many women who harbor men with bad behavior for personal gain.
- There's a lot of technology focused on facial recognition, why aren't more focused on trash recognition?

- China has great relations with Pakistan. Perhaps not necessarily people-to-people relations, but certainly gov-to-gov.
- I supposed it's really hard to know if there is an AI winter because if a company/research body has made big advances, then it's possible they are still in testing mode before rolling it out and don't want anyone to know about it until it's good to launch.
- I was referring to this article that was pretty well circulated: https://venturebeat.com/2018/06/04/the-ai-winter-is-well-on-...
It seems as if there is a gap between what we're expecting AI to achieve in a short period of time and what it's actually achieving.

- "The actual effect of WikiLeaks is likely to be profound and precisely the opposite of what it supposedly sets out to achieve. Far from making for a more open world, it could make for a much more closed one. Secrecy, or rather the possibility of secrecy, is not the enemy but the precondition of frankness. WikiLeaks will sow distrust and fear, indeed paranoia; people will be increasingly unwilling to express themselves openly in case what they say is taken down by their interlocutor and used in evidence against them, not necessarily by the interlocutor himself. This could happen not in the official sphere alone, but also in the private sphere, which it works to destroy. An Iron Curtain could descend, not just on Eastern Europe, but over the whole world. A reign of assumed virtue would be imposed, in which people would say only what they do not think and think only what they do not say."
