Can we build an independently acting, benevolent AI and have him run for president?
We could have it interact with every citizen and act accordingly.
(I joke, but it couldn't be WORSE than the mess humans created.. right?)
I had a college professor who said CS actually stands for common sense. "If you don't develop a really good web of common sense, you will fail at computer science"
Often enough, the problem itself is easily solved. CS is all about how you approach the problem..
I would argue it would make Democrats win much less as well. We would probably end up with level headed moderates who are best aligned with the majority of the country's voters. Not a extremist that somehow scared and scammed 51% of voters.
None of the established powers-that-be will help change the system that keeps them in power.
Best thing would be for them to just upload their own test videos with the various formats and test against those.
I think that some of this WFH stuff is like Pandora's box. Employers are not going to be able to stuff it all back in the box now that it is out. There will still be offices, and people will still attend in person. I'm just not sure if it will ever be "The Norm" again.
Take a generic local tech company for example. Its employees are now all WFH, some enjoy it and few others don't, while some really need it for precautionary health reasons. Does HR have enough legal room to tell everyone that the health crisis is over and that they HAVE to return to an office "or else", do they get to choose who needs and doesn't need WFH? I see litigations surrounding personal safety and fairness down that road. We haven't even gotten to the part of the pandemic where there is a vaccine available, but anti-vaxxers are all over... I'm staying at home thanks... Even if the local tech company has HR figure out how to pull this off, and moves to force those workers back; the employees now have the option of other companies that WILL offer the WFH that they want. And these companies can possibly draw from state-wide or possibly even national talent pools. Those are the companies that will attract and retain the top talent.
