I cannot stress enough just how much wide LLM adoption is harming the human capacity to *try*. To just do things on your own, to think critically about a topic or a problem, to read and synthesize ideas. These are such important skills and we’re just giving them up.

For the former gifted kids: You know how school was trivially easy and you skated through without trying? Remember when you first encountered a truly hard course and it destroyed you because you never learned to persist in the face of adversity? LLMs are putting everyone through that experience.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

ChatGPT "'I don't know' isn't in my lexicon so here is a fact I made up so you are happy with me"

Hey Doug. I went to school, I got a job. And without appropriate supports, stable housing, and a living wage I won't be able to keep that job.
Get fucked you nepo-bully.

Doug Ford tells someone protesting his disastrous Bill 60 to find a job.
The gall of the laziest premier telling someone to get a job.
He’s a loathsome human and absolute shambles of a leader who has never had the best interests of anyone but himself in mind during his reign of destruction.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

As an African, I can promise you that USAID shutting down isn't the reason why Africans are suffering. It's fucking imperialism. WESTERN CAPITALISM, IMPERIALISM, AND GENOCIDE. And USAID is a predatory arm of the CIA that has carried out countless colour revolutions in Socialist nonwestern countries.
DOGE is disbanding after an estimated 600,000+ people died in other countries because of USAID cuts to lifesaving food and medication.

November 15 marked a full three years in my role as Councillor for Ward 2. Every year, around this time, I write about another year gone by, what I’ve learned in this job, what people tell me when they see me at a meeting, stop me in the street, or share their thoughts with me in an email. #HamOnt
