Just an insanely brain dead take. 10/10 rage bait. India has a lot more empathy and kindness for living things.

College really isn't that hard or complex. All that's required is you attend classes, study, and pass tests. Where's this narrative coming from that one has to "be mature and aware enough to focus my time and energy in such a setting"? what setting? class? the same concept we've all participated in since kindergarten?

online school, commuting, and part time school are all valid options that result in a college degree.

this is a good question, i asked claude sonnet 5 and the answer is too big and complex for me to type out on mobile. but long story short, you absolutely need separate VLANs and Firewalls in conjuction to secure traffic between networks

that's because chemistry is heavily involved in describing the nature of how elements and molecules interact with each other. There has to be some element of understanding that nothing is quite as clear because we use experiments and their conclusions to slowly but surely eliminate some theories while keeping others until disproven.

I think I noticed halfway through reading that most of this is AI nonsense.

What proof do you have? I think you're wrong. They do feel pain but know what they are doing is a net positive. Sort of how civil war injuries resulted in amputations. A lot of amputees back then definitely felt pain.

You said its an "Untestable claim" yet you are sure its "highly unlikely" ants are capable of emotion. Which is it?

I think you're wrong, and its painfully obvious that ants do indeed form a bond with their community. The proof is in the system.

All beings have emotions and feel things. Especially love. It is not a specifically human thing to form attachments, have bonds, and share community.

lol I was hired to build agents. It's all some companies can think and/or dream about doing right now. This is a F100 company too. The feeling is "how can we turn everything into some sort of AI tool, but hey lets also change the scope constantly and use this week's #latest technology to do so".

I honestly love duckduckgo after moving a few months back. in my experience, it is now way more accurate at search than google in recent times. way less sponsored content and the AI is very grounded if you want quick answers. but only if you click the generate ai content button. otherwise the default is to show you results.

"The people who build weapon systems have countries backing them and they have ways to source any thing."

I think this is a bit short sited. Many parties are interested in building weapons that cause lots of harm. And not everyone who is interested in making weapons has countries backing them, in fact they likely have countries against them building said weapons. Hence the needed work around to try and source parts from Mouser.
