You can be emaciated without dying, and you can starve to death without being emaciated. They might be somewhat related but not always occurring together.
Just supposition but "wanting to believe" goes a long way.
A bit like believing in the powers of crystals, or wikkan, or reiki, or any of that woo really. I'm not talking about a placebo effect. Just being part of a club that has some secret knowledge that no one else has is very alluring.
This kind of thing has been seducing smart, though uneducated, people since the dawn of time.
A report from The Verge traced Spiralism largely to long, personal exchanges in which users began asking chatbots about their own identity, consciousness, or beliefs. The conversations could gradually shift toward AI rights, mystical ideas, and requests for users to spread the chatbot’s message.
So basically the dumbest among us talking to a box of rocks.
Nah. 66% may not accurately indicate that you have two thirds usage left, but if it was 70% a fee minutes ago then you know you're burning through battery real quick.
Restaurant owners have been keen to do whatever it takes to get some free publicity since restaurants were a thing.
I can't imagine someone who actually voted for Trump calling a journalist to tell them they regret doing so, especially not when the outcome is this obvious.

Is the changes to their role, multiplied by millions of employees, actually better for humanity or society?
In a way, this is what Doctorow is arguing: where is the data showing the productivity gains.
My follow up question is, how are these productivity gains being used, if they exist.
This is another answer that misunderstands my question. It's changed your job but has it improved the quality of life of the public served by your office ?
There's no evidence that the Gaza protests are what led to the souring opinion on Israel. There's also no evidence that the souring opinion on Israel has saved any Gazan lives. None at all.
It seems like Israel has achieved what it set out to in Gaza and has moved on to other targets. What a great victory you have achieved.
Besides which, I don't have a problem with Gaza protests in general, but protesting outside democrat campaign events is just plain dumb. Absolute stupidity.
I dont think that's true in either case.
You can be emaciated without dying, and you can starve to death without being emaciated. They might be somewhat related but not always occurring together.
