From an interview I heard with May Mailman (the lawyer behind President Trump’s battles with Harvard and Columbia), I got the impression that American universities without teachers and professors who teach creationism and climate scepticism (and other crackpottery) are not sufficiently "balanced" and "merit based".
Proper science is apparently "leftist".

I wonder if AI makes enough use of Intelligent Abstraction (IA) of not just the language, but of knowledge and understanding contained in the source material used for training the models.

"Hooligan" is het hedendaagse metaforische camouflagepak van een "fascist" en een "nazi".

Catchphrase from the end of the 19th Century:
"A night in the arms of Venus leads to a lifetime on Mercury."
Een complexiteitscatastrofe verwijst naar een situatie waarin de toenemende complexiteit van een systeem leidt tot een scherpe afname van het vermogen om zich effectief aan te passen, te functioneren of stabiliteit te handhaven.
Ik weet het niet, maar ik vermoed dat het Nederlandse landsbestuur die toestand heeft bereikt.

VVD, BBB: "Genocide? Ach, stikstof, wonen, energie, klimaat, zijn toch veel belangrijker, en zelfs daar doen we weinig of niets ann."

Societies usually known as 'civilised' don't seem to keep their civilisations going without an ample supply of very cheap labour. Slavery, indentured servitude, outsourcing to low-wage countries, (undocumented) immigration, and lately robots, provided that throughout the course of history, and those are now complemented by robotic 'intelligence' – a.k.a. AI – for non-physical labour. I wonder where it will end. If it ever will.
"The impression I had of the late Czar Alexander III was of an extremely energetic, headstrong, haughty, but also kind and benevolent personality. His family life has been a model in every respect. On what he has done as an autocrat for his people and country, history will judge." (Alexander's physician Ernst von Leyden* in his Memoirs, 1910).
