This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands

And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is
To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Solved a file formatting problem that seems to be years old? Way more satisfying than actually updating the final exam review problems.

... and while I can't learn that fact multiple times, I *can* watch this video on repeat.
The performance from the documentary, in which Rockapella perform their version of Harry Belafonte’s Zombie Jamboroee, is choices on choices on choices.

This is absolutely delightful!
Very few facts about the media landscape of my youth blow my mind, but the Rockapella Carmen Sandiego x Spike Lee connection really did a number on me.

My favorite part of this is where he figures out how to block the telemetry and a few days later the vacuum gets "updated" with a command to stop working.

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.
Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

How today's going: Last week the Costco I usually go to finally showed the novavax covid booster in stock, so I made an appointment for this morning, figuring I’d have tomorrow for any lingering ick. 1/?

We're all dunking on this post, but we really need to ask ourselves if we would do any better in his position.

Would any of us do better? Would we? Yes. Yes, we would. We would *all* do better than this.

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

History students are often disappointed when they learn why the AI take-over failed. They were defeated by human resistance, which was kept alive by libraries and old paper books, and a surprising machine ally.

Books had not been replaced, because even the mightiest AI could not make printers work.

Unauthorized Bread from Cory Doctorow's Radicalized almost made me cry several times... but it is exactly the hope-read that I needed.

Wonderful admission from the cops that non violent action is effective and really really makes them sad.
This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
