First off, Candeath Omens can go fuck herself.

I do think however that there is a weird technology faith in that people believe technology will fix all issues long term or improve or all aspects of our lives. Like when people say AI will fix global warming / climate change... dude, it can't even properly take orders at a McDonald's, which is traditionally one of the least qualified jobs. And if you ask an AI how to stop it, it'll just tell you what we already know, which people haven't been doing for years. Because that's what am AI does.

It's mostly the people neither actually engineering the technology nor studying the actual issue that believe this. But it's a huge driver in the discussion.

That's why I wrote about "technology faith", in contrast to the topic "science faith", because while I think the dangerous idiot is wrong as always, the related issue (as technology is applied science) exists.

Regardless, her motive is just to discredit proper scientific methods and results she doesn't like, while my point was about technology and its limitations that people don't understand yet think will fix everything.

I always find this a little funny... Like I always hear complaints how the FDA is overbearing and stuff

It's big corpos who'd love to continue using these additives that launch these claims via proxy into the public. Similar to how McDonald's made sure people think the US is a country of frivolous lawsuits because they were ordered to cover a woman's medical costs after a jury found them guilty. Purposeful misrepresentation of facts

You don't subtract from 10, but from 10x0.999.... I mean your statement is also true but it just proves the point further.
