At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

It makes me feel like this

It did not decide. Once upon a time, millions of years ago, there were moths born with an accidental mutation, some blackish spots on their wings, let's say.

Predators thought "hm, well that one has something gross on it. I'm gonna eat the clean one instead just to be safe."

The unspotted moths, being dead, didn't pass on their genes. The spotted moths did, and a few of their babies had even bigger spots than the parents. The predators around them avoided those individuals even more than their siblings (because bigger spots are easier to see.)

Then we fast forward this process 1 million billion times, and the spots get bigger and bigger, and more fly-like. Because the predators are hungry, and their options have shrunk! The "clean" flies are now the ones with big black blobs. A moth with *red* blobs? Now that one really looks like a bad meal.

Throughout this process, no one is making a choice in what they look like. They are being culled, and unintentionally bred, by nature....or, the official term, naturally selected.

Now to me, what's so wonderful about the whole thing is that it would not be possible without mutation, which is to say, an error in the genetic code. If the dna replicated itself perfectly every time, there would be no evolution or genetic diversity on this planet.
