Same for school teachers. I happen to work in the area of digitizing education, and if the things that are being talked about and experimented now take off, the teacher will be a glorified babysitter between now and 10 years.

Since the demagoguery over Citizens United seems inescapable, I was thinking about making a big write up about it, but I suspect that people are just going to think what they want.

PLEASE don't let the guy who shot those 5 marines dead in Tennessee turn out to be a illegal immigrant. That would be a disaster.

Will Biden hurt Hillary or Sanders once he enters the Presidential race?
Please help me get in contact with the Pats organization because I'd love to personally deflate Tom's balls.

That would be a safe guess. For the most part, long posts are useless here, as you won't make any progress. Better to use short posts and only respond to specific things when the opportunity presents itself.

I think that would be equally pointless.

I doubt he will hurt Sanders (not known before presidential race, so he is running on message), but he could hurt Hillary (running on name and now there is a second big name).

I don't see why diagnostics can't work somewhat like Akinator (the 20 questions bot) where it learns from the answers to constantly improve its accuracy. The more human experience it gets the better it is at identifying patterns that lead it to the correct conclusion. Yes, humans don't always immediately tell you the right symptoms to diagnose something but a computer program doesn't distinguish saying "I heard a loud crack and now I can see my shin bone" from "I was hesitant to come in because it's probably nothing". It's not incapable of intuition because it doesn't have a base level of communication which excludes things it would intuit, if that makes sense. Everything is valid for diagnostics and with a decent sample size it ought to be able to draw conclusions mimicking intuition.

If anything it ought to outperform doctors, it can't miss cues and it has every other case it has ever seen (orders of magnitude more than any doctor) to compare against with perfect recall. You'd need human assistance, especially at first while you teach it, but that kind of pattern recognition and database comparison is exactly what computers beat humans at.


Pretty much. Diagnosing an issue against a database of information is one of the easiest things to program. What's more is these machines (or one central machine) would get more accurate as time goes by if machine learning is put into place (which no doubt would be done).

Personally I think it's the diagnostic equipment that would take the longest to create. Humans lie/are wrong about things all the time, so having equipment to preform the tests would be the deciding factor in how well this works.

If equipment could not be made to be human-less, physicians would likely just be replaced by technicians with little knowledge of health, but that can work the machines and walk people through the steps required to diagnose them.

The little gadget thing lets you stick any job in and see how it rates. Of course it's just a bunch of researchers' guesses but the results are pretty interesting.

Fun site, I have a 1.7% chance of being automated.

As an English teacher, the biggest problem with technology is that kids can't focus on anything for more than 15 seconds.

Definitely hurt Hillary more than Sanders imo, as his image and interests align more closely with Hillary's than with Sanders's.

Technology is not the solution to the problem of education. Attention span problems are merely one example of why this is true.

Unfortunately, many states and districts are literally forcing teachers to use every form of new-age technology under the sun- even when the technology is irrelevant or not ideal in specific contexts. Technology should be treated as a supplement to instruction; it should not replace instruction. We see ubiquitously that teacher evaluations have a Technology box to check off during observations, where the question of "Did you use technology?" is a question, rather than caring how it's used or if a particular technology is even relevant. It's great to have better infrastructure in schools, but it's simply wrong to say that a lesson that's forced to accommodate a desired technology is necessarily going to be more successful, simply because "Technology was used."

Wasn't paying attention.

For people who have to put in effort to pass an English class? Vastly.

I don't see computers flat out replacing teachers anytime soon unless they are closer to true artificial intelligence then I think.
