I mean, curing genetic diseases is good. And it doesn't hurt to make sure your kid is attractive and charismatic. On the other hand, this will absolutely and unequivocally be used for babies with... specific phenotypes associated with wealth or class.
And, worse yet, it inherently encodes a poor tax into the very fiber of a human being that will exacerbate inequality. Something that will only grow as the designer genes become even more effective.
I guess, in the end, the rich will claim to be justified when they call the poor "less human".
Its also horrible on desktop. The content is literally a 15% area on the very left and most of the space is blank (or probably full of ads that are on multiple layers blocked on my client)
Beyond a points its curiosity and pushing existing computational techniques to their limits. Sometimes it leads to new discoveries in computational techniques or in rarer cases new theoretical work.
Long story short, it’s fun to find out new things about weird numbers :)
The problem is also that the rate of, and ease of production of terrible content far outpaces good content. So it does matter that there’s loads of junk because finding something worthwhile gets hard very quickly.
I guess it depends how good your search is. Bit of an ongoing battle. Like I was on youtube last night looking at some stuff about problems with the UK economy and thinking the quality is really rather good - the best was probably a C4 produced doc with Tim Harford. But there is a lot of clickbait dross on youtube also. For some reason I get about ten different 'why it's all over for the Cybertruck' ones which doesn't really match their content saying it's basically ok.
So we can look at the software they produce and see if it's better. From what I can see they suck at it. There was that error where Citibank sent hundreds of millions to the wrong guys and that was totally due to software designed like a monkey did it.
Freaking nightmare with this licensing crap. But if you'll let me run a licensing company and make mine the compulsory one that everyone has to use I'm good for it.
The real value of licensing is enforcing liability, not that licensed professionals are necessarily better. With florists/stylists etc it’s more rent seeking than actually needed, but again… think of bridges.
Fun! After a few game, my best was 100% on the 4th guess.
It looks like it's using Euclidean RGB difference, so one potential approach if you don't want to eyeball it is to just try to try to find the match for each channel one by one.
Edit: Okay, my new best score was 100% on the 1st guess, thanks to the browser inspector. :-)
