Murder's bad. But I have to wonder if they'd be going to this level of trouble and expense had it been you or I that was killed.

UCLA is creating an entirely AI-generated course. Except apparently the grading won't be AI-generated. 🤔

Seems to me we could just as easily replace the founders with AI without the negative impact to society.
Starting to think that anyone who calls themselves a ‘disruptor’ is actually just a twat.
Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Has anyone compiled a #Typelevel #Scala starter pack yet?

Feature request:
As a bsky user
I want to apply starter packs as masks
So I can prune certain elements from my timeline.

Huh. I guess I now get Audible rolled in with my Prime. I'll be traveling. Can anybody recommend a good Phenomenological audio book there? Or anything close?

What we *really* need are Venn diagrams of all these starter packs. That *alone* would be worth the prices of admission.
