@lexfeathers Bad framing on Duckduckgo's part.
The problem is the people, not the computer programs. I am "no" to tech oligarchs running everything and exploiting all of us.
Machine learning could have positive uses, but not while they are controlling it.
@glyph There are even more layers!
My wife is a union Carpenter. Her main work for the last few years has been on teams of highly skilled construction workers building and rebuilding clean rooms to house the machines that are involved in chip making. Now she has a job building a new facility for a company that makes the machines - a project that takes hundreds of people (not to make the machines, just to construct the new facility).
Yup, it's turtles all the way down.
@petergleick Yeah, this is false reporting. They might try to hide behind "technically true", but that's just not how we communicate numbers. If a government program was projected to cost roughly $9 million, would the headline say it cost "thousands of dollars"?
