I love media that shows the psychological angle of involuntary/unwanted transformation, going from acceptance to acclimation to preference and eventually the previous form feeling foreign, distant, or forgotten. This is good stuff.

They're likely not very fast about it since it's not really what they're for, but I'd bet it's also a combo of the administration being very mixed-up and inefficient with assigning them work, along with a sprinkle of malicious compliance, assigning/doing only exactly as ordered and not a bit more.

So that's how people were editing the in-game art! I never really played with anything beyond Descent Mission Builder 2. Descent is such a good game. I'm glad to see a piece of it living on like this.

Khan Academy had a wonderful idea with putting educational videos out for the masses to learn to create a middle ground between institutional and autodidactic learning. One problem is thatโin my judgmentโhe has no knack for teaching. Perhaps, to him, that makes AI seem competent for the task.
Oakmoss ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ (@sylvanrat.bsky.social)
Why am I not surprised to find Salman Khan of Khan Academy fully embracing generative AI? This is probably old news but I ignored the place for years. Bill Gates is a long-time major donor, and Khan Academy currently has a partnership with Microsoft. Gee.

Thank you for those! As Saff said, it makes sense that details in Spanish culture wouldn't make it over to many English language sources, and what you mention combined with what I can discern in the sources sends red flags up for me as well. I appreciate the warning! That is a shame, though.

Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
