It's also the only viable route to doing science for most people. So even if you're aware of the problem, you just have to grit your teeth and play the game if you want to pursue your passion.
Treat people well, and people will like you.
Somehow, we manage to accept organ transplants despite it hurting one healthy person a little to help an unhealthy person a lot. What's stopping us from treating birth control the same way?
I don't do this myself, but I know people who have expressed similar worries.
A: "Oh hey you got a little choc on the side of your mouth"
B: "Oh, thanks"
B (in their head): "Oh no, how embarrassing. How can I face A again? Time to avoid them for the rest of eternity."
Right, so if that's the discussion you care about, that's totally fair. Most researchers I know couldn't give a rat's ass what you call it as long as there's something to call it. I think we've all long accepted that no two person will have the same idea of what intelligence means.
You'll be dismissing the vast majority of experts in the fields. The only people who refuse to call it AI are those who think AI refers to the stuff you see in sci-fi movies. The ones doing the work and who actually know what they're talking about use AI to mean even the simplest thing like a bunch of if statements that make up a hard-coded decisions tree.
If you "buy" it, then it's free for the foreseeable future. That's how it's always been with the Epic free games.
They're just trying to get people to use their storefront because they can't compete in any other way.
It takes a lot longer to wash if you go that route. If you don't have enough time for that, then you can't do it without foregoing your other responsibilities. That qualifies as "can't". It's a lie as much as telling elementary school kids that the sky is blue is a lie. We simplify things because kids don't have the ability to follow all the complex interactions between everything going on in their lives.
Moving them onto another surface also means an additional surface to clean. Floors don't need anything more than regular vacuuming or a quick mop most of the time. If you get grease there, that's so much more work to clean up.
Ooh, that looks cool. Thanks for the recommendation.
I'd be surprised if being born with a specific face configuration isn't protected in the same way that race and gender are.
