based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

Can't believe they're going to end trial by jury. It's one of our most fundamental rights. Literally Magna Carta stuff.

Good read. Unlike me, the writer still welcomes AI in principle (so if you resent us Luddites, still read it), but recognises how it's changing human cognitive processes. I am always glad to see this being given attention.

Good thread on misguided "inclusivity" but I'll just hijack this bit to say: Ugly Christmas Sweaters are a terrible terrible fake tradition that I resent deeply. They weren't a thing until Bridget Jones, afaik? And now the shops are full of them and my kids want them and it's SO FREAKING WASTEFUL
Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL
The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.
