It's just a ripoff of this basically

Obesity is a negative for both the individual and society. The fat acceptance movement is terrible because being fat isn't some sort of permanent, genetic condition that's out of people's control. You control what you put in your mouth and how much exercise you get, it's a choice.

Should we have an ignorance acceptance movement, where we don't push people to educate themselves? That's a choice as well.

I think MOOCs are the future based on my own experience. They allow the best teachers to scale their reach. Instead of aristotle giving a lecture to a room it allows an unlimited audience who can also rewind and pause if they don't understand something.

I've been able to learn machine learning and deep learning from Andrew Ng, one of the best AI researchers in the world, among other world class researchers, for free. It's incredible when you think about it, probably one of the most significant things in human history. I've been able to learn how to code by picking and choosing the best classes from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc without spending a penny. Why settle for mediocre teachers at state universities when these options are available?

The major thing we need to do is find some other way to grade people other than using a college degree as a benchmark.

It apparently costs the global economy around 2 trillion a year due to various causes

This, some people prefer sweet lies to bitter truths

The stronger, more confident civilization and culture wins, not the most progressive or sophisticated. Rome was wiped out by barbarians and the dark ages followed. Western civilization is weak and divided, some don't even think it's worth defending. This is mainly due to outside influences intentionally creating division to weaken the United States from within.

Western civilization is far from perfect but I think it's preferable to any alternative I've seen.

edit: As far as what people are entitled to, I feel I'm entitled to nothing, not even the air I breath, unless I'm willing to work for it or fight for it. Most of the human rights we take for granted are only there because our ancestors fought to defend them. If you sit on your ass and feel entitled to something because you exist don't be surprised when someone takes it away.

People need to realize we are built on hardware that is hundreds of millions of years old. We share a similar hormonal dominance hierarchy system with fucking lobsters. You can't just say it's </CURRENT YEAR> and expect these things to disappear. Tribalism was important for survival, trusting someone who didn't look like you could mean death and thus was selected for over long periods of time.

I think AWS is the majority of their profit but not revenue, it basically allows them to subsidize the rest of their business to gain market share off the absurd AWS profit margin.

I've always thought they should do a 10k+ iPhone. Plenty of elites would buy it as a status symbol even if the hardware really wasn't any different.

I phrased it a bit harshly, more like less inhibited. The US can't even have a discussion about IQ and genetics due to the pushing of BS like blank slate and political correctness, which makes doing research impossible.

China already paid people with high intelligence to ship them DNA for research in 2013, they are already doing embryo gene manipulation. They are years ahead of us due to not caring about ethics. Political correctness will be the death of the west.

I spent hours trying to get setup before finding crestle mentioned in the forums. It's preloaded with everything you need and is billed by the second with 25 hours free

You missed the entire point of fast.ai. They believe that it's better to be able to do basic, practical stuff before diving deeper. Most people will lose motivation if they have to learn an insane amount of stuff before even getting started with the cool stuff.

No value to the user, but all that bloat allows for analytics and tracking for more ad $ and the images make emotional manipulation easier to get more clicks. Not to mention that 99.9% of people don't care or don't even know what bandwidth, CPU, or RAM are.

A practice run based on this most likely
