ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right
I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

There used to be a whole internet like this, I tells ya. Websites as far as the eye could see.
Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Verjeli ali ne, ogromno ljudi še vedno misli, da so električni avti v primerjavi z bencinskimi in deizelskimi enako slabi glede vpliva na podnebje. Fizika izkoristkov ni povsem intuitivna, količine umazanih (in neetično pridobljenih) rudnin pa težko predstavljive in primerljive z nafto.
Najnovejša študija organizacije ICCT ugotavlja, da so izpusti električnega vozila v celotni življenjski dobi za vsaj 73 odstotkov nižji kot vozila z motorjem na notranje zgorevanje, izenačijo pa se že po 17 tisoč prevoženih kilometrih.

Peter Thiel Shows Trump How To Sort Spreadsheet Of Americans By Ethnicity
WASHINGTON—Stressing that it would be simplest to troubleshoot now during the onboarding process for his company’s surveillance technology, Palantir founder Peter Thiel reportedly spent Tuesday morning showing President Donald Trump how to sort a spreadsheet of Americans by ethnicity. “So what’s neat is that you can just do command-shift-E and rank every single resident from […]

Reality truly is stranger than fiction lately 😏
So the sequence is this:
1. 1953. The CIA and MI6 stage a coup and install this bloke's dad in place of a prime minister who was more-or-less democratically elected and who introduced good social reforms that the USA and UK didn't like.
Like it was their business.

No surprise to see Akehurst involved. They are partisan supporters of Israel and should keep out of another nations affairs

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

An English idiom about facing the consequences of one’s actions is “you made your bed, now lie in it.” In Italian, an equivalent phrase is hai voluto la bicicletta? Adesso pedala! It means “you wanted the bicycle? Now pedal it!”
