There are a lot of legitimate criticisms of AI, but some of the use cases are just incredible. I’ve been using chat gpt to quiz my language learning progress, and come up with lesson plans I put into Notebook LM. Notebook LM can then turn that into Audio lessons. All in a few mins.

I’ve read about how cultural context can make it hard for people to learn. It’s an idea I’ve always understood on the surface, but never really felt until studying Arabic.

Finished season 3. Every time this show almost tricks me into looking one of these cats, they run off and do something crazy.
17 years late, but started Sons of Anarchy.
I want to like this show, but there isn’t a single likable character. The characters we are supposed to root for are horrible people.
I’m going to keep watching, but something about glorifying these guys is hard to watch.

A Veterans Day story
It’s the norm now for restaurants to do Veterans Day deals. Big discounts, free meals, etc….
This all started by accident, 20ish years ago.
There was a franchise Applebees on a military base. They decided to give free meals to vets on vets day, and promoted it locally.

Mo - I’m really torn about this show. Good comedy. Based in Alief. Tries to tackle a very hard and divisive topic surrounding Palestinian identity and occupation. Some components of the show balanced this well. But having it end the way it did on Oct 6th was too much.

This could be a reasonable question, in a world where Leavitt didn’t just lie about spending $50 million on condoms in Gaza. But she did, which leads me to question her credibility.
