I recently attended a parents night at my daughter’s school where one of the teachers laid out the schools new AI policy and guidelines which were the result of at least a year of research. My favorite slide was the don’t and do of AI under the new policy.

Don’t: Use AI

Do: Not use AI

This school also generally limits the usage of technology. They do have laptops on hand, but they come out only for very specific subjects such as coding or robotics classes, both of which are optional classes.

I’m 41 and this speaks to me on a fundamental level.

you’re -sorrynotsorry

A few years ago while cleaning out my late grandmother’s house, I found a physical book which was just a listing and description of various websites.

Maybe one of those hookers is doing it to to pay her way through college and then law school. Her goal in life is to become lawyer working for charities and doing pro bono work for those that need help.

I’ve seen the CTO of my company straight up use Claude to respond to slack messages.

More that just “… a lot of people…” NIST themselves published real research backing this up over a decade ago.

Quick pedantic note if I may, right to work and at will employment are two separate things, both shitty.

At will - company can fire you for nearly any reason without notice.

Right to work - workers cannot be forced to join a labor union as a condition of their employment. This is used to weaken labor unions.

They do intersect as having a union can help prevent shitty firings.

What the fuck. That’s some serious persistence.

Oh they hit me up a couple of weeks ago. So far no follow-ups, but we’ll see…

I tend to drive up to SF several times a year and it’s wild coming in on the 101. It’s always been this plethora of the most inane billboards for tech companies, but one trip it was just all AI. Every billboard was advertising AI this and AI that. On a lot of them, the company didn’t even change, just went from <company><product> to <company><product>AI!!

And of course the company picture by op is everywhere. The last time I was up there was around the time of RSA and I swear, they had straight up branded streets around the moscone center.

If you haven’t read his books, Stephen Baxter has at least a couple of good explorations of long journey ships.

The smarter someone is, the better they’re able to rationalize what they believe. Admitting one is wrong isn’t usually a matter of intelligence, it’s a matter of pride (or money).

They probably fired them because they did. “You’re not being a team player. You’re failing to adapt to the future way of things. You’re failing to…” The bullshit is exhausting and endless.

Thank you!

I have friends that absolutely love Chipotle. I can’t understand it. It’s so over rated and just… bland, like you said. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Lots of good info already, so I’ll just leave a look to a good podcast episode on pig butchering scams.

Buried a little in the article, this was a bit more than just “… breaks cut”

and had the car seen by a mechanic who, according to the report, found “that the driver-side front impact/airbag sensor had also been removed but noted that the remaining wires had been spliced together, completing the circuit in a manner that prevented the vehicle from detecting or logging the missing component, while also preventing the vehicle from activating its safety protocols, alerting the driver, or engaging limp mode.” The police report also indicates that fingerprints had been found on Berulis’ car. According to the police report, the case is now “inactive,” “due to the lack of any specific suspect information,” though the police’s intelligence unit was notified.

Is that time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Yes, she’s the original song writer and performer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom’s_Diner

Oh I am right behind you on this journey I think. I love hiking and have found myself taking more and more pictures when I do. The more pictures I take though, the more dissatisfied I am with my smartphone camera.
