Aarav (specifically in Vadodara)

A common name for a douchey, posh guy in Vadodara city. Classic cheater, will downgrade after every girlfriend, and ALWAYS HAS A GIRL BEST FRIEND (who is also his family friend)! Frequents the gym and boasts his "ganizzzzz" for popularity, will love bomb you, immediately gets a new girl after he breaks up with you, and always down for friends with benefits. An Aarav usually has good grades and will be very popular, but he will also have many rifts inside his friend groups. Most Aaravs wear the amazon bead bracelet, are either super tall or super short, wither super fat or super skinny and will have at least 3 exes. They always fall for the girl best friend and are a huge red flag. Always stay away from AARAVS!!!!
In the City of Vadodara

Gaurav: Yoooo did you see how Aarav (specifically in Vadodara) has a new gf now?
Manas: Bro that's his rebound from his ex
Gaurav: Yeah? Well we all know that he is going to marry his girl best friend anyways!

West's Theory Of Specific Economic Destruction

Summary: AI will specifically destroy jobs created by computers in the first place, preserving 'offline' jobs, while minimally impacting work quality, and preserving gross productivity.

1) The jobs that AI destroys will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the computers created, facilitated or enabled, 2) The more that workers in a given field were reliant upon computers, the lower the percentage of them will be required to accomplish the same output after AI is deployed; this reduction in demand for workers could be up to 90% in some market segments. 3) When this happens, work quality only suffers slightly; 4) When this happens, productivity is not reduced, and some companies may scale-up fewer workers to surpass previous productivity levels.

The take-away is that jobs that were largely or entirely not dependent on computers (or which predate computer) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. These jobs include carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen.

This will remain true until corporations push culture if not laws to have androids perform those remaining jobs left to humans (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen). At that point, society will debate whether productivity is more important that anthropocentrism and protecting a moralized, industrious, human populations.

Something very specific

I'm doing that, Chris.
Hym "I'm doing something very specific, Chris. It needs to work this way. You likely don't get it but you aren't the creator of A.I. You're a midget male-model who steals talking points from the actually talented guy. Alright? I'm doing it right. This has had maximum efficacy. So, you stfu. Do what I'm tell you to do. And then go back to pretending to be better than somebody."

A fallacy that focuses on specific, often well-documented atrocities while ignoring the broader context of suffering in which they occurred. The fallacy presents, for example, the Holodomor or the Killing Fields as uniquely communist evils, while ignoring that Ukraine also suffered under tsarist rule, Nazi occupation, and capitalist shock therapy—or that Cambodia was devastated by US bombing before the Khmer Rouge took power. Specifying deprivation allows the fallacy-user to condemn particular events while absolving the systems that created the conditions for those events. It's history as highlight reel, atrocity as argument-ender.
Fallacy of Specific Deprivation (also "Communism Killed Millions" Fallacy) Example: "He brought up the Holodomor every time someone mentioned socialism, as if one event could settle the question of an entire system. The Fallacy of Specific Deprivation meant he never had to address the millions who died under capitalism, under colonialism, under 'democracy.' One famine, endlessly repeated, did all his arguing for him."

A fallacy that focuses on specific, often well-documented grievances while ignoring the broader context in which they occur. The fallacy presents, for example, police violence against a particular individual as an isolated incident, rather than as part of a pattern of systemic racism. Or it focuses on a particular policy failure while ignoring the successes of the same system. Specifying grievance allows the fallacy-user to acknowledge problems without addressing their causes, to admit that "mistakes happen" while denying that the mistakes are systematic. It's the logic of "one bad apple" applied to everything—acknowledging the specific while denying the general.
Example: "He admitted that yes, that particular police killing was tragic. But the Fallacy of Specific Grievance meant he never had to ask why it kept happening, why certain communities kept being targeted, why the system produced the same outcome over and over. One tragedy, acknowledged; the pattern, ignored. The specific had been used to hide the general."
