I suppose you are talking about the FAAFO principle (since its meaning is crucial, I will spell it out to make certain we are all on the same page: Fuck Around And Find Out) - like a child sticking a fork into a live socket to "see what happens". There are no "controls", no observations are "recorded" for the future, there is no careful "design" of the factors involved, and second most importantly, no bothering to look up if the answer was somehow already known in the first place, that could have avoided the need to do the experiment altogether.
But I was arguing that the CRUCIAL factor of PRIME importance is likewise missing: the willingness to learn from whatever outcome may derive from the actions. If a child sticks a fork into a socket, but b/c it's low amperage somehow just laughs it off then sticks a fork into the socket again, then just laughs it off then sticks a fork into the socket again, then just laughs it off then sticks a fork into the socket again, then just laughs it off then sticks a fork into the socket again, then just laughs it off then sticks a fork into the socket AGAIN, etc. -> those are not "experiments", it is just plain dumb stupidity. No "learning" takes place, hence it was never an "experiment", just playing.
In contrast, when the USA started it up again after a long hiatus, democracy itself was our "experiment". It looks like it is about to fail, being too susceptible to internal squabbling + coercion from outside forces:-(.
But e.g. when Trump was impeached, the first time, and then when he was impeached, the second time, it was not an "experiment" to "see if he could be impeached" (very much unlike Biden's ongoing impeachment procedures), it was just what needed to be done.
TLDR: these people are not "experimenting" with anything, they are just Fucking Around, having not yet reached the Find Out stage (and never will, even long after the evidence becomes plainly and clearly obvious to anyone at all who is receptive to "evidence").
Exactly! So how does that not make it fraud, as in an attempt to spike the perceived valuation of his company's stock? Ianal, so my only guess is that it is different rules for a private vs. publicly-owned company. It being stock options is what made it possible, but I question whether it is legal? And either way, it seems unethical.
They seem to be hoping that now, with AI, they can. :-|
Scotty is definitely an aberration. ~~If someone did live inside the Matrix or holodeck, it would be quite difficult to prove, having to jump all the way from one method of thinking (peak) through a huge local minimum all the way to the next peak, without benefit of smaller steps to help. In this case, what I mean is that "redshirts often die" is itself only a first order approximation of the real underlying truth: that there is a main cast of characters, a secondary cast that may repeat, and then the redshirts who are literally fated to die.~~ He do be just THAT awesome, yes!
Oh yeah, well I can top that!
/s bc hell no way I can top that - it's in mudda fuqing SPACE!:-D
I think that one was inevitable, due to humans encroaching upon the bats territory and how fast it mutates - people were warning about it being inevitable over a decade ago. But yeah, climate change could bring about the next one. (Link)
Okay not sure about this based on on the other responses but...sure why not, so here goes:
"It looks like you already have".:-P
Like this?
Or like this?
Either way, I got you covered my Cardassian brutha! :-P
And to add to my story, this even older video, not in as much depth but if you need a shorter watch that hits all the necessary highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj4anUL-LvY.
