Poe’s law still applies.

You forgot the /s

Just because Wikipedia offers a list of references doesn’t mean that those references reflect what knowledge is actually out there. Wikipedia is trying to be academically rigorous without any of the real work. A big part of doing academic research is reading articles and studies that are wrong or which prove the null hypothesis. That’s why we need experts and not just an AI to regurgitate information. Wikipedia is useful if people understand it’s limitations, I think a lot of people don’t though.

The Golden Trump Gaza, what a fucking joke. I could be totally wrong but I’m going to take a guess and say that the Gaza strip is one of the most bombed out places in the world. If true it’ll be littered with unexploded ordinance forever or at least practically forever. He wants to make a giant Mar’a Lago? Sure okay, I’m sure your guests would enjoy the risk of losing a limb or being killed cause a forgotten bomb goes off 10 years later.

ICE will retaliate at a time, place, and manor of their choosing. /S

Harry Potter is part of the problem. I am totally onboard with the idea of ‘The Death of the Author’, which is the concept that something like Harry Potter is much more than just intellectual property owned by a person. It’s a shared cultural experience which is so much bigger than one person it becomes impossible to say the author owns it.

However, J.K. is using the profits from her intellectual property to hurt people. Harry Potter is being used as a tool to hurt people. As much as I hate to say it, Harry Potter is part of the problem. At least for now. So pirate it, consume her IP without ever paying her a penny.

Also she’s not Trans rights are human rights but she wrote pollyjuice potion into her world…

It was also the 90s. To anyone who didn’t live it I can not overstate how many benefits the McCallister adults had. Not even from the government just the world. The Soviet Union had just collapsed, China hadn’t risen yet and Europe had just finally recovered from WWII. America was at the end of being uncontested internationally for 50 years and had another decade to go before it all starts to crumble. Being middle class in the United States meant you had a good paying job, not the single bread winner jobs of decades before but wayyy better than what most people are offered now. It was a very different time.

You’d have to constantly test. Just because a lines worker tested that the line is dead five seconds ago doesn’t mean some idiot just plugged one of these in.

They can work, you just need to disconnect your house first then use it. It’s also a good way to burn your house down. If something on the same circuit as the generator pulls more current than the wires in the walls are designed to take, because there’s no breaker in the way anymore it can catch fire.

Another way to put it. Violence isn’t the first answer, but it is the last.

Wow your ignorance is astonishing. I’m not even an American and I can tell you that just because there was a Democrat in the Whitehouse doesn’t mean he controls the election. It’s written pretty plainly that the states are responsible for the election. The federal government just sets out requirements, so Biden had very little effect on the voter lists. State governors have much more influence on who votes and yes, voting did get harder between 2020 and 2024.

In practice you’re right, and I’m not going to even try to argue the real life consequences AI has caused. However I disagree that AI doesn’t have any place in the education system. Used on the appropriate problems, AI is a tool that makes a few things which were challenging to compute much easier. One example is large AI models folding proteins for medical research. A problem that took a computer a day or more to solve can be solved in hours on the same equipment using AI software. That’s just one application that admittedly isn’t useful to school aged children but it’s still one useful example of AI. There are others. Students should be taught how to use AI properly, and part of that is teaching them what it’s good at and what it’ll never be able to do.

The part I get angry about is disgusting Tech Bro Billionaires trying to shove AI into every piece of software they can. Just like the block chain they’re over promising and there’s a bubble. Unlike block chain technology AI actually has a few useful applications and because of that it’ll take a lot longer that BitCoin to finally level out.

Was that Kill Dash Nine? Great song

I’ve finally found a job that I like and the answer is with a lot of courage and a bit of privilege. First and foremost is the privilege part. If you have the privilege of being able to be unemployed for a few months and not die then you can do this, if you’re on the edge of poverty then you can’t afford to. Just another way privilege is a positive feedback cycle. Anyway, with the warning out first, then find the courage to change jobs every few years until you find a place where you say to yourself, “Yeah I can stay here for a long while.”

It’s a lot easier to do when you’re young, but if you have the privilege of being able to go through the unemployment of being between jobs then all you need to do is have the courage to leave your job and look for a better one.

It’s because the people at the tip top who regulate ATC don’t have any idea what’s actually involved. The actual regulators are very experienced and valuable. The suits think ‘It already works so why spend money on a system that already works.’ It gives a financial opportunity to cut on capital expenditures and engage in stock buy backs.

Copying and pasting everything Chat GPT output was a choice. Perhaps not the cleverest one but it’s still a choice.

That’s impossible because that’s my IP and I know for a fact that IP addresses are unique to each computer. Unless there’s a way to Translate the Address every time you hop to a different Network, but that’s never going to happen so I know you stole my IP.

Or just do what Trump, his administration, and the Republicans are doing. Move fast, break things, then tell the court ‘oops, you’re too late.’ Trump and the Republicans don’t care about the law, they only reason they pass anything through the house is because they want it to have more legitimacy than just a Presidential declaration. If it doesn’t pass the house it’ll still be the law. Just not on any books.

This happens every time I sit down. I could enjoy watching Jeopardy or I could get some extra work done so tomorrow isn’t as much of a cluster fuck as today has been. A moment’s rest is a moment wasted.
