Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
When I was homeschooled all the state required was a written statement from my parents that they were doing homeschooling. I was never given any instruction at home at all. Perhaps more dangerous is people who actively teach lies (also legal)
I've worked in the homeschool reform movement for seven years. Heard from thousands of formerly homeschooled adults who were abused and neglected in every way imaginable. There is so much grief and rage in the community. They have been systematically failed.
"Teaching is a profession" is a wildly underappreciated sentiment these days.
My point is that the instruction may be terrible, or it could be good but still not working for those kids. I should also note that special ed is severely underfunded, so I acknowledge public school isn't necessarily great for kids with IEPs either. This mom should be seeking professional help tho.
There's nothing wrong with developing skills later than most kids, but it can be sign that the instruction is not appropriate. In situations where kids in public school would have an IEP, they get specialists to work with the kid. Parents aren't generally equipped to handle special education.

Sounds like that weed that’s been coated in THC
I guess the AI never went through QA, this is one of the first things I’d test it with. Give it lots of different impossible orders, nonsense orders, weird and complicated orders, and so on.
What about constellations, which are not groups of nearby stars but rather artifacts of our perspective when looking out from the earth? Constellations are essentially arbitrary collections of stars and affect humans only by their visual appearance
RFK Jr joined the fight on deadly diseases on the side of deadly diseases.
I’m increasingly worried about the effect of this anthropomorphic language on ordinary people. It’s not a terrible analogy, and we often personify computers, but none of it is literally true. It’s a dangerous mistake to make. LLMs don’t even simulate a mind.
Truly the greatest good society can achieve
Christians always tell me Christianity isn’t works-based but I’m sure the MAGA crowd sees no problem with this
I don’t think it does, but it does mean people don’t have an excuse for buying a cyber truck. Two different things
I wasn’t suggesting restraint with respect to physical violence.
1/10 troll attempt, you gotta be able to respond to make someone mad. Repeating yourself without engaging with what’s said won’t get a rise out of people. Bot behavior 🤖
“No one REALLY believes intercessory prayer works, obviously.”
She’s awesome
Let’s see some criminal trials and convictions then. It is unconstitutional to detain any person in the US without cause. The law demands that a prisoner be accused of a specific crime and have the opportunity to defend themselves from that accusation. Everyone has the right to habeas corpus.
What cities? What were the issues? Were poor people being told the money would otherwise go to helping them (a lie)? Do people resent this expenditure more than govt subsidies for the rich? Do they think white people are being replaced?
Communist witches are real and they’re coming to teach evolution to your children!
It really makes me despair. Some people are more optimistic than I am…
I think it’s possible to fight people without calling them inhuman. Dehumanizing the enemy is the fascists’ whole deal. This evil is a human evil. It’s not for the enemy’s sake. We still fight them with everything.
I’ve never understood this excuse. Elon was a horrible person (and we knew this) at the time the cyber truck was unveiled. He was already supporting fascism among other things. Not to mention the CT was an obvious lemon from day 1 (broken unbreakable windows?). Some of us expected this outcome
They had potential as an EV company before Elon bought them and paid to be able to call himself one of the founders
just because you’re contradicting the original post. You can say it’s the reader’s responsibility but what is the point of your response if not to be helpful to readers who aren’t fact checking themselves?
It’s not super helpful to say this without providing any way for the reader to find the evidence you’re referring to. If I wasn’t going to fact check the original post I’m not going to fact check yours. Now I just have two contradictory unsubstantiated claims. You’re not inherently more reliable
“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”
I’ve heard that’s also overblown. I’m no historian myself but things I’ve seen and read suggest that narrative is more false than true, or at the very least less true than people imagine
I’m going to start calling him Colonel Lee to annoy his fans Or maybe “traitor and disgraced former colonel Lee”
A lot of southerners REALLY want to convince you the civil war was not about slavery. It was about slavery. The south was not defending itself, it was defending slavery. Huge numbers of kids are being lied to about history and have been for generations.
Being raised in Virginia, Lee was always portrayed as a tragic noble hero. I was told he joined the rebs out of love for his home state, that he defended VA from the invading yanks. The US “invaded” VA b/c they tried to secede to preserve slavery. To defend VA was to defend slavery. No heroes there
Being cis is just a phase, they’ll get over it 🐣
What do you mean? I don’t think anyone is confused about whether they need a prostate exam or a paper smear. Transphobes object to the term “pregnant person” specifically because it does separate reproduction from gender. A man can have a uterus and require the related healthcare and still be a man.
I don’t know, lots of republicans with children don’t seem to care about children being raped or murdered. A lot of childless people care significantly more
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the holocaust could have been stopped. Every genocide could have been stopped. They’re not natural disasters we just have to accept. People are making it happen and people could stop it.
Uh, I’m pretty sure a person with a prostate should have the medical care required for a prostate and a person with a cervix should have the care required for that. That’s between them and their doctors. What does that have to do with their gender? No one is pretending to have different organs.
I think it’s a mistake to call LLMs AI. AI is just a meaningless buzzword, literally any computer program could be called AI. While LLMs are a world-changing technology, they’re not special or intelligent in any way other programs aren’t. AGI remains as speculative as it has ever been.
The use of chatGPT caused a user’s death when the responses convinced them to take their own life
People who barely know what AI is don’t always understand that LLMs are just computer programs created by people, same as any other software. It’s confusing and misleading to use anthropomorphic language because people imagine sci-fi AI which LLMs are not.
I think the problem here is that people don’t genuinely attach agency to guns or trucks, but many people are under the false impression that LLMs actually do have agency. They are all just machines made and operated by humans and we should be clear with our language where people might get confused.
We might hurt the money's feelings.
That bean has been too shiny for too long!
Cool crimes should be committed responsibly. Conceal your identity before engaging in antifascist vandalism
we do not publicly shame cybertruck owners enough
Hbomberguy my beloved
I have the feeling that many Americans don’t understand what eugenics is or why it might be a bad idea. I often hear people talk about things like the “quality of the gene pool” in relation to intelligence and morality
It’s the children we’re concerned about, not their idiot parents
We may as well just go ahead and pronounce the “L” in “salmon”. Nothing matters anymore.
Yeah I’m the one who brought up LLMs, I’m not disagreeing with you
Hypothetically, I agree, but LLMs are nothing like a Chinese room. hawesthoughts.com/2023/07/04/c...
US media coverage of these things: Media: A TERRIBLE THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN! Maybe. In 3 to 6 months. Readers: OK, so, not an emergency. [Forgets] [6 months later, thing happens] Fewer media: hey, that thing we told you about is happening Readers: WHAT?!! it's already done we are powerless
It would be cool to do someday but it should not be anyone’s priority right now or in the foreseeable future
I’ve seldom seen graffiti I didn’t like
Rowdy and loud is also good
😱😱😱
That’s like early algebra, definitely too advanced. He might have a chance at 3rd-4th grade math but I seriously doubt it. I don’t think he can do arithmetic
IQ is a useless measure. It’s meant to be a proxy for general intelligence which doesn’t exist. And it would be a poor proxy regardless of that
Awesome, hope it goes great!
Denying healthcare is an act of violence
Normal person: Genocide is bad Crazy person: Woah hey, let’s not get political
People don’t talk about this enough. Children are people who deserve to have the right to self-determination
Not to be dramatic but if your truck literally cannot fit in a standard parking spot, you should have to have an additional license for it and that license should be very expensive with all revenue going to road maintenance
Thank you for your service o7
I used to be a liberal but then I learned history and facts
Human beings are not NPCs, regardless of what they say or how they behave.
Idiots, both of them
One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.
It sure would be nice if housing and healthcare weren’t based in the profit motive
Nah I directly contradicted your claim that cows wouldn’t exist if we didn’t eat them. Better luck on your next argument
LMAO. Why even attempt to make inferences about someone you don’t know at all? I am not a vegan and the fact that that’s where you go to says a lot about you yourself
I admit I’m taking the piss a bit because you’re being ridiculous. You’re basically saying education is useless. I still don’t believe you have done real science without training. Even people with informal training have training. You need background knowledge to do research of any kind.
Here’s the curveball. Reading and understanding the paper is not research. It’s literature review. I read a lot of papers like this and proved a new theorem which is now published in an academic math reference. That’s what math research is
I’m obviously talking about a large subset of Indians. You’re trying to save face because you forgot dairy exists
Yeah so is rape and murder but I doubt you would want to endorse those
This math is related to electrical engineering and digital communication, information processing and cryptography. And I don’t believe you could understand it unless you have studied math beyond college.
That’s weird, because people in India don’t eat them and they have tons of cows. Sounds like someone’s never heard of cheese!
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Are you able to understand this paper without training yes or no? Because I can understand it and it took years of study to get to that point.
Jesus of Nazareth or the christ (messiah)? One of those is plausibly a real person, the other is clearly mythical
Research takes training, not just time. I have a masters degree and there are about 1.5 things I have the training to do research on. Reading isn’t research, you need to be able to evaluate sources and know the state of the field generally. Reading is still very good!👍
To clarify I’m not accusing you of fooling yourself, it’s just a general concern
It’s nearly impossible for most Americans. There aren’t that many farms like that. People who tell themselves this are often fooling themselves. I believe in people making their own moral decisions but only if they’re honest. If you live near a farm, great. Don’t go by buzzwords like free range.
Genuinely disgusting thing to say about sentient creatures
The post says “and … the social rule” specifically distinguishing it from the actual law. Basic reading comprehension?
Men ARE stupid. lol.
No one suggested it was… ? Or do you mean that’s the reason? Because I don’t think it is.
Beautiful boy. He looks he was a real sweetheart.
No. Don't conflate "No Child Left Behind" and Common Core. Common Core has a whole "Reading: Literature" sectionwhich specifically includes this. www.thecorestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/ Despite the smear from regressives over the years, Common Core is actually a good idea.
As a math teacher, so many people misunderstand what the common core is! People should read the standards themselves before commenting on it
Shocking revelations today
There are a lot of caveats I could make about how I describe this but in the interest of not writing a novel I’m going to trust you to interpret it accurately. You can ask for clarification if you don’t know what I’m getting at.
There can be more variation within members of a sex than between members of different sexes. By which I mean two cis men can easily be more different in this regard than either of them are from any cis woman. You just don’t acknowledge it because you’re not considering how diverse humans are.
They try a little to dress it up as science despite all the science disagreeing with them. What they're really describing, and what they're afraid to admit, is they believe in immutably sexed souls
What do you mean by 45% on average? Average over time?
Underrated take
So why do we additionally need sex discrimination…?
And to clarify, sports is not the biggest problem facing trans people. It’s just one part of the discrimination and dehumanization of trans people which is an active threat to life, limb, and wellbeing. Being able to participate in sports is itself also important.
I don’t think human rights are something to push for gently and slowly. Gay marriage was “tricky.” Civil rights were “tricky.” Women’s suffrage was “tricky.” “Threading the needle” was not the solution. Fighting was. Trans people are people. Trans rights are human rights.
