there is a link to the white paper in the article.

Yes, and the sky may fall tomorrow. The longer I live the more I read these sensationalist headlines designed to gin up angst and antagonize people's peace of mind.

Social Security's solvency has been the subject of much debate, but clearer heads point toward a graduation of the current system to include higher earners. That will accommodate the large aging population's demand. Case closed, easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I get that he is an ignoble dude, and I dislike him as much as anyone, but why do we judge an entire company by the largest shareholder's personal scruples?

There are likely thousands of hardworking people making that ship sail, and it's really short sighted to just write them all off because he is a dumbass.

We are SO ready to judge but so unwilling to THINK. Why?

It is a cool word. So are 'charm' and 'strange' for quarks. I don't see what the big deal is. People can differentiate between two meanings for the same word. Are pseudo-science inclined folks going to spin it some crazy way? Yeah, probably, but that happens pretty much anyway.

I have some exposure to this domain, and this headline is (surprise) not really all that factual. We have been using AI for decades to help generate and refine medical solutions of all types. It may well be that this effort uses some novel technique that makes it the 'first' to do so, but it's still a disingenuous title in my opinion.

I feel like it's an argument for the benefits of abstract reasoning. I don't think they are saying it'll be like that in the real world, I think they just want to test how you do under adverse conditions.

Stress testing the student's academic prowess, if you will.

I think the term is "Instrumentalism".
