GenAI truly is the asbestos poisoning our collectively shared resources and infrastructure.
Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.

Why the hell is Seattle playing so soft in coverage? This is embarrassing.
You’re going against a guy that’s gonna get the senior citizen discount at Denny’s after the game. He exudes an aura of Icy-Hot. He’s calling his accountant in between plays.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they're proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can't afford food or healthcare

Hi. School teacher here.
I didn't sign up to get shot at. Nor did I sign up to let kids be shot at.
We live in an unreasonable nation.
