Mkay so I just went ahead and rewrote all of Bohemian Rhapsody (RapSkeeting) to be about the futility of skeeting. Thank you to @waiterich.bsky.social & @kendrawrites.bsky.social for the inspiration. #RewriteASong

Using a LLM to write a term paper is useful in a similar way t using a forklift for weightlifting at the gym. Yes, it may be efficient in completing the task, but the value is in the hard work
About to be Jokerfied by this blandly tossed-off statement in a piece about how the lie machines will never stop lying. Why concede that AI is "useful" in writing term papers? What is the purpose of writing assignments in education? Is AI accomplishing that purpose? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/t...

Qatar is the world's second largest supplier of LNG (liquefied methane) and also the lowest cost supplier. So what do they choose when they need new power generation? Solar.
Simple math. When it's their money, oil and gas companies choose solar, while telling you that YOU need their LNG.

BBC: Women don't use ChatGPT because it's too difficult for their pretty little heads
Bit of an odd story this one - the main analysis says women don't use AI because they lack STEM skills, confidence and value in the workplace. Yet the anecdotes suggest that women excel at communication, whether writing or interpersonal, and can spot ChatGPT's flaws

Why are fewer women using AI than men?
The use of artificial intelligence appears to have a significant gender imbalance.
