My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYTβs Ivy League bias

Is AI in charge of global shipping now? Because a package made it within 5 miles of my town, then went to a city 100 miles the opposite direction. And another one was out for delivery before being "transferred" around noon. Was not delivered that day.

Gold leaf is not super expensive. Tacky, yes. Failing to read the room, absolutely. But not so spendy that we should feel in any way bad about removing it before he's cold in his grave.

* Slavery IS bad. Owning another human being and making them do what YOU want them to do is SUPER BAD, even if you think you're nice about it, or it benefits some greater good (defined by you). Words are insufficient to explain this to you, if you are willfully refusing to acknowledge this truth.
TheJenLars (@thejenlars.bsky.social)
Dear fellow pales: nobody is accusing us of owning slaves, so why are some of you against slavery exhibits that make slavery seem bad*? I feel like maybe the only saltine-americans who are offended by slavery exhibits are those who would enjoy having a slave, and don't want to feel guilty about it.

She is now telling the patients her life story. Hopefully she gets it out of her system before they go to bed. The reason she is my least fave here is because of the incessant talking. Night time is supposed to be quiet time, lady.

This particular unit is not busy at night. So even if she's doing a lot, it is not much. I say this as one who does more than most, but I don't complain because at most it is 2 hours of actual work here. AT MOST

What do humanities and science have in common? They teach you to think. For yourself. Differently, but both teach you to think about what matters. The despot wants you instead to feel, specifically resentment, toward others. Science is naive to think it can resist by selling out humanities.
