After reading through the link you sent, and the replies gathered by the author, one can sense the agenda.
Clearly, the request for replies from Veterans, was simply a means to gather fodder from 'heroes' that could be carefully presented to show how reasonable their 'traditional' views on anti-immigration, a woman's role in the home and workforce, and the general regression of society, in the best light possible.
I wouldn't discount it as a source, but should be noted in its extreme bias, and even if many of the views presented were 'prevailing' at the time, it doesn't make them correct.
Do you have any evidence to suggest the author cherry-picked the responses? Because there is evidence to the contrary - the responses reflect the attitudes revealed in the US army surveys.
Or is this some novel use of "bias" to mean "truthfully presents data that I dislike"?
The strangest thing is happening at my drive through, the voice sounds to be of an older woman and when I get to the window, there aren't any woman working in the restaurant.
There are many non native worker in this restaurant with a distinctive accent but this "old woman" has a local accent.
It's not an ai voice so my guess is that she's somewhere else (at home?) and only handling the drive trough requests.
Companies are trying. The Wendy's by me has an "AI" ordering process in the drive through. Consequently, I don't go to Wendy's any more because I hate talking to the clanker. But I imagine a lot of people just do it.
The rest of your comment suggests tney have yet to fully succeed.
McDonalds tried for 3 years. They found that roughly one in five orders required human intervention. AI created bigger problems than it solved --- like driving away customers.
Now at first brush, while I don't think that AI could replace fast food workers, McDonald's obviously also went Hard Mode when they partnered with IBM to provide the AI.
Have you thought about using powerline devices? I’ve successfully used them in place where running my own cable wasn’t a possibility, and WiFi wasn’t cutting it.
Powerline is in my experience vastly worse than WiFi in nearly all cases. It's slow, suffers from bad jitter/interference (often worse than WiFi) and the chips run so hot (especially the last gen ones, AV2000 iirc - I believe they don't sell them any more because they overheat and fail, or at least 2/2 of the ones I had did this).
Even with many walls I was getting 300-400mbit/sec on WiFi vs 100mbit/sec on powerline.
Powerline in practice does not come anywhere near performance of a good WiFI7 setup - even through walls WiFi tends to be more stable and faster outside special conditions (e.g. multiple floors or thick walls).
