Amusingly I learned about this with one of my dogs. He was significantly bigger than the rest of his litter by a huge margain, when we told the vet about it the guy just said "must have a different dad". like it was the most common thing on earth.

They basically flip the term around. IE criticizing a specific government, is anti-semetic. Blanket blaming an entire population of people for things they aren't even directly associated with, is OK.

Now the real question of the survivorship bias, you are seeing less AI, but there's 2 possible reasons for that.

1. The AI has gotten better and harder to identify.

2. Your brain has degraded due to excessive presence of AI and reduced air and food quality and thus is worse at identifying AI.

Something that just confuses me... this stuff should be backed up right? shouldn't this stuff be put in in a means that, a competent administration down the line can pull from backups.

it wasn't intended to be a study on what's right or wrong to have or what not, the point is simply that, going with a less likely to be brought up country say France. If for some nation were to launch an invasion on france. They wouldn't be bothering to compare their quantity of tanks, aircraft carriers etc... are present, as that tier is in and of itself a factor.

Or to go purely into fictional, you could say talk about anime characters like

Mob from Mob Psycho, Gojo from Jujitsu Kaisen, Reinhart from re:zero, Saitama from one punch man etc... Characters that are so overwhelmingly ahead of everything else, that any other character in the battle is basically cosmetic. IE it's not just that they are better than the D-A tier characters, It's that they are so much better that it's laughable to think that all the A tier characters teaming up would come close to making a fair fight for them.

The rest are just normal ranking, IE in order of their tier, In english sometimes they to give them meanings "advanced, basic, competent" but generally that's a forced on to it. Typically it's just an alternative to doing 1st, 2nd, 3rd category. "S" meant is to imply it's so good it's not the best category, it's so far ahead that it's not fair to compare the A tier to it. Like say when talking about military strength in the real world, having nuclear weapons is a whole separate category. IE there's no bother to question how many tanks or bombs it would take to invade north korea, because the mere potential of them to launch a couple of nukes if threatened, is enough to prevent anyone from taking their plans past the most basic hypothetical stage.

usually special or super.

Worth pointing out, Nimrod wasn't an insult until bugs bunny used it sarcastically at Elmer Fudd, and a generation of viewers didn't get the reference and just assumed it as an alternative for idiot.

basically all arosol's do that as well, same for pam and just about every other spray, and yeah it's shady as hell, it's much like tictac's are technically sugar free.. in spite of being 90% sugar, because their serving size is 1 piece.

They seem to fail to understand, the coersion is the only bad part. That's like saying "things don't change, some black people chose to work on farms, the coersion has gone but it's still a problem". No it's not a problem, anyone should be allowed to choose to be a farmer.

I'll consider giving support after there's a wave of police getting held accountable for abuses, and headlines of the police unions demanding for flock cameras to be taken down. However I'm not holding my breath.

For now it seems like they are just supposedly adding ways to possibly catch cops who are, using the cameras for illegal stuff like spying on swimming pools, yoga classes, or stalking ex's...

I guess I understand your overall point It's probably valid to say that phones shouldn't be (though I suppose not against the law due to the laws not keeping up with the evolution of celphones).

I'd say smart glasses are in their current form, currently just a shock, because it's their primary purpose. That's basically why google glass flopped so spectacularly and the term "glasshole" followed their release almost instantly. Celphones do absolutely have the capacity to be turned into a spy device, even by accident or outside the owners control much like smart glasses. But I suppose the transition from snap shut flip phones to smart phones was kind of the slow burn that kind of made it not heavily thought up.

I do agree with the initial key point, IE smart glasses inherently make people feel uncomfortable and it's basically waving in their face that they could be recorded at a moments notice if they aren't already. It's like technically I know that anyone I talk to, could have a concealed carry permit and may have a gun hidden on their person... but I'd feel far more unsafe being around someone with an AR15 strapped on him.
