I never said that it was a new thing, what I’m saying is that the introduction of AI in the classroom is the perfect way to bring critical thinking back to the classroom. That’s one thing that AI is good at… getting people to realize that something they’ve just been told might not be 100% true.

Wasn’t that with the old administration?

We have a safe at work where we keep backups and ‘legal hold’ stuff. We hardly ever need to get into it. The first audit we had after I started and the guy who had been running things walks up to the safe and just opens it… without entering the code. The auditor looks at me, and I look at my employee and ask him if the safe is broken, and he said “No, I put the code in earlier so it would be easier to open for the audit.”

Needless to say, we got dinged on that part of the audit.

It is impacting their critical thinking because the teachers aren’t teaching the kids how to use AI!

My kids came home talking about an interview she did with one of her heroes. She knew all kinds of facts, including what type of dogs her hero has. I had to explain to my 8 year old that an AI doesn’t know very much, but it will never tell you that it doesn’t know something.

I don’t mind that my kid’s school uses AI for learning, but I am pissed at how they are using it the exact wrong way. It should go side by side with learning critical thinking.

You’re out in nature while helping to clean up

You’re out in nature… IN AUSTRALIA! He’s risking his life being out in nature picking up garbage.

Have you looked into American Express?

<checks community name> oh shit, nevermind.

I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty obvious when you meet someone who is poly.

I’ve found that going into a casino is a great way to exchange money when going to Canada.

I think what they mean is that, technically, Musk has a mind.

It used to be common but now people have too low standards.

It is more to do with being locked into a walled garden. If your community and family use Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. then you either have to stay, or get left out.

In the new US Constitution we should include Data Portability as a right.

this self absorbed fuck thinks randos are going to read his social status

And yet, here we are.

Expecting your friends to backstab you means you know you aren’t a good friend.

I wonder how difficult it would be to create a 3D printed part that could hold thermite to a road flair that is rigged to ignite on impact after being dropped from a quadcopter?

The issue I have with your reason against it being cyberpunk is that there’s nothing in cyberpunk to say that the fictional roaming nomads aren’t just mobile homeless, able to move to where the work is but never able to find enough work to settle someplace.

Cyberpunk is great for a fictional setting because it looks cool, has some slick character types, fun villains, and relatable heros… but cyberpunk is dirty, and a lot of society in these worlds have been left behind, exploited, and forgotten. I fear that some people view cyberpunk as a society to strive towards, rather than a thought experiment on what could go wrong as we shape our future.

It’s just really fucking fun to do! Everyone should try tossing a molatov cocktail at a Tesla.

But there’s a chance the foster family would at least get them their vaccinations.

I just finished Picks & Shovels by Cory Doctorow… and I want to start another audiobook, but the new John Scalzi book (When the Moon Hits Your Eye) comes out next week and I kinda want to wait for that. Unfortunately I have a roadtrip on Monday, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to hold out or not.

…but it’s always at least entertaining.

Careful, that’s how I used to hear Joe Rogan described.
