The garbage took itself out. Much appreciated.

Well no shit. It’s a gigantic bubble. Doesn’t take a genius to notice.

You wonder?

Oh, peace is over, again?

They want more money. Helping the user is only good if it makes money. Anyway, down votes give viewers more information, and probably YT wants to doctor the data in a way that downvotes block.

For example, I would always downvote AI content if allowed. So would countless others. But YT wants people to watch it, right? So they gotta suppress our negative feedback.

Wrong. Many Japanese people love it. Not all, of course.

Godless commies who are not in the Epstein Files. Unlike Trump, who stars the Epstein Files.

Fortune, you pushed for all of this shit.

People don’t forget. They simply don’t care.

ROFL that was not a mistake. They all knew what would happen.

Allegedly? … They’ve been cooking the books for years about all sorts of things.

Well, now you’re asking a definitional question. What counts as “AI”? If I use OCR to help grade multiple choice tests, I’ve saved hours. That’s AI, isn’t it? What about spaced repetition for flashcards or dynamic question selection for quizzes? Do they count? … So then we’re back to the same old story. People want to sell weird fancy useless shit (that counts as AI), so you ask if AI has value, and then they reply by giving you more traditional examples (that also count as AI), and then the whole conversation leads nowhere.

Anyway, let’s focus it. Let’s go with ChatGPT as a generative tool. Then still there are some real gains that can be made. Small but real.

• If I’m brainstorming ideas for a lesson plan and use ChatGPT to come up with 10 ideas that I use for inspiration, maybe that’s OK.
• If I need a graphic to illustrate some concept to the students and I use genAI to create it, could be useful.
• We can come up with dozens of things just like this. Teachers using generative AI in small ways for specific tasks to speed up their workflow.

Well obviously. AI is a bubble, which is mostly vaporware. The point was always to sell it, and what better place than a school? The administration will force it on the teachers and students, and that’s that.

The technology itself is simply irrelevant. All you need to know is that it’s a bubble and the purchasers don’t care what the users think, and then failure is guaranteed.

There is anti-foreigner sentiment for many reasons, only one of which is the (laughable) claim that foreigners are the sole cause of over-tourism. The fee increase is scary because it’s a precursor for other anti-foreign measures that the current PM would love to impose. Will she succeed? We’ll find out.

I would say his extreme age and bad health are evidence. Evidence but certainly not proof.

The lawyers can write that, but all they have done is make the judge issue a new order requiring them to get moving. It’s another “delay and deny” tactic that won’t work, because this judge already sees the gamesmanship. Congratulations to them?

Hahahahahhahaha you can’t negotiate with terrorists (i.e., Mr. Orange).

Oh my friend, that really does depend on which Americans you’re talking about.

Well he doesn’t have to die. He just has to be removed from power. I think we’re not too far from that.

At the very latest a month after the midterm elections unless he can successfully pull off his coup, he’ll be done. If he doesn’t retire then his current supporters will force him out because as a lame deck president, he’ll be the worst possible thing for the Republican party.

So the the test of capitalism is whether any of the executives who pushed the AI roll out have gotten fired or had their bonuses slashed… My guess is none of them.

If this were actually about competition, then people would be punished for not paying attention to all of the naysayers who predicted this exact phenomenon. If accountability were a key feature, then corporations would have set up their bonus structure to look for 5-year or 10-year benefits from the AI push because of this exact issue.

Of course we haven’t seen that anywhere because AI was and always is a bubble and everybody knew it and the only goal was short-term profits for whoever can claw them out of the employees or the minor shareholders fingers.
