Climate, bird flu, AI, and Trump are our next existential crises. I like to think my opinions are well-considered but I have blind spots and am open to new perspectives... Always. Frequent dropper of F-bombs; less frequent dropper of C-bombs.

It's crazy how m
people are dumb as rocks these days. There's a dearth of critical thinking skills everywhere.

Thank you - as always - for telling truths.

Given everyone's ridiculous swarming to AI to help them work - and organizations forcing members to do so - it seems entirely realistic this happened. 2/2

Not completely. We're trusting the original poster to be truthful. That said, this isn't the first time AI garbage has been passed off as "real product." Scientific papers, legal briefs, and student essays have all been found to include AI garbage. 1/2

It looks like it was generated with older versions of AI than currently exist. Newer AIs produce better garbage (which, IMHO, makes them more dangerous). If that is what the teacher did they deserve to be fired for being stupid & lazy.

The self-checkout machine accused me of an "unexpected item." The item was my will to live, which I had mistakenly placed in the bagging area.

This is vile & disgusting. AI use in schools should be banned, not encouraged - especially if it makes teachers this stupid & lazy. AI is trash.

I will be so happy when people wake up to just how shitty and unreliable AI is.

this may be the best description of theftbot-generated slop I've ever read

via this great rant: www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...
Quote from n+1: 

But a still graver scandal of AI — like its hydra-head sibling, cryptocurrency — is the technology’s colossal wastefulness. The untold billions firehosed by investors into its development; the water-guzzling data centers draining the parched exurbs of Phoenix and Dallas; the yeti-size carbon footprint of the sector as a whole — and for what? A cankerous glut of racist memes and cardboard essays. Not only is the ratio of AI’s resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, AI-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind.

The man behind me honked at me for going 70 in a 50. So now we're going 20. Together.

I hope he packed a lunch.

don't worry, Sam Altman is confident that his efforts to eliminate vast numbers of jobs will all just sort of work out for the unemployed, eventually, possibly after they starve to death, which is technically a form of having it work out

Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With
Worried that AI will destroy work? Well, Sam Altman asks if you've considered what a farmer from half a century ago thinks of your job, first.

Important to remember this especially with CUPW on strike right now!

I’m sick of RW govts trying to separate “the unions” from their members.

“The unions” can’t take strike actions without balloting members. “The unions” aren’t forcing members to strike; they can’t. Members are voting to strike, because of shite offers from this govt.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blames unions for ongoing strike action
"I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients," Christopher Luxon says.

I am very tired of this, but a quick review.

In America, it is legal for you to own your bullshit laser, no matter how it got into the county.

How you use your bullshit laser matters. Most jurisdictions escalate to felony for lighting up any law enforcement. Doing to them in the sky is ++Felony.

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.
