This is sickening, I knew generative AI was a fascist tool, I've been researching that extensively, but I don't think enough people know that. This is heart breaking. Trying to destroy the legacy of good people for the cheap lulz

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

“It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

will you be discussing the racism embedded in much of AI? What about that research has shown that reliance on AI can lead people to lose the ability to do the task that the asked AI to do?

Im so old that I remember when you had to read widely so you could know all the different areas of research related to your own. No computers and certainly no google scholar or ERIC.

Beau Pribula is a SUBSTANTIALLY better QB than Drew Allar.

Big Game James should have started Pribula and let Allar go pro (where he would have ended up on the practice squad)

And, of course, Pog wins.

If someone else doesnt start to challenge him, viewership is gonna plummet. Boring as hell when you know who wins before the race starts.

Now there are likely folks who work at SEC who are doing the same thing. Maybe this was one of them.

Here is a link to the study.

I don't know enough to assess which control variables should have been in the study, but I'd say that is likely where any issues with the study will be found. The stat analysis seems okay.

The study was done in Denmark. They did not include family wealth as a covariate which seems problematic.

sure, this is great. But 90% of adults in the US won't know what a sycophant is.

This is sometimes the problems with Dems. You really need to use 8th grade vocabulary to get every day Americans to hear you and Dems just don;t seem to be aware of that.

I feel like some presidents and provosts are getting some serious cash under the table to do this shit

Uh.... This is RIDICULOUS. dailytarheel.com/article/univ...

UNC schools of data science and information science to merge, forming unnamed ‘School of AI’

He wasnt great with K-12 either. Duncan demonized teachers which contributed to the freefall in tchr prep enrollment post 2010

Ed Fuller @edfuller.bsky.social · 5d

Those folks will still blame dems. SO perhaps the worse their plight, the more they dig in for Rs and against Ds?

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
