I don't follow back everyone, but when I do it's not the 7567th account who has followed 40k & only followed by 100 that has "fallen on hard times" & whose replies to people are full of sus links pimping their go fund me. 🙄 In fact, those are an auto-block. Take your ass back to Twitter w/that shit.

Yep. OP doesn’t put it together, but this is covid brain damage. Five years of letting a disease that damages the brain run rampant = universities full of students incapable of the work that pre-covid students were capable of.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

This is how I got on the net before I could afford a computer.
WebTV (1995), later bought by Microsoft. It was the first major consumer device to access the web without a personal computer.

AI is a very general term, you have to be more specific. Do you mean the AI that stole my copyright, the chatbot causing teen suicide and psychosis, the deepfake porn of women without their consent, the bots driving political division or the ones polluting communities and driving electric bills up?

It’s always about dogs. How about cats? Oh right, dogs are *man’s* best friend. Cat ladies wait in line I guess
The first anti-aging pill for dogs just got FDA backing and is now closer to approval, which could help senior dogs stay healthier for longer.

The third party app I’ve been using, @boostblue.bsky.social which has several features people want that the official app does not (w/more to come!) just added multi-account support. So I will finally be using this account more again after kind of forgetting it existed for a bit. So hi again lol 👋🏻

Also true of articles! If your library doesn't have the periodical in question, they can get a copy for you via interlibrary loan (ILL).
Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Going live on whatnot at 3pm eastern with my $5 pendants & earrings - usually they’re mysteries aside from the color, but during the live you can pick specific beads! They make great holiday gifts.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

I paid to watch the Lombardia Trophy & went to watch the and the replay of today’s competition isn’t available til tomorrow. Not that it’s a huge deal insofar as spoilers for this event because it’s just a challenger but come on. I got it so I didn’t have to pull an all nighter to watch live.
