Remember when the Chapo team responded to the 2020 uprisings by dunking on Mariame Kaba and saying that actually Black people love cops, who are workers
The article is bait, of course, but let me tell you.
This sort of faux revolutionary "woke is the enemy of the worker" class reductionism is what dirtbag "leftists" gifted off for YEARS.
They made a ton of money and helped no one.
It's a grift

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Childhood is primetime for developing creativity. It's usually when a person takes their first, wobbly steps into getting their imaginations down on paper.
Redirecting that into typing prompts feels genuinely defiling.

I guarantee you that if you asked an LLM to generate 10k words telling Colin Kaepernick's life story, it would never be as honest, insightful, or interesting as 3k words he wrote himself.

When the issue was forgiving student loans, there was a lot of grumbling from the older generations about it, about how they had done it the hard way (even though costs were much lower then) and the Kids Today should too.
But when it comes to Kids Today doing the actual work? Meh, they don't care.

Absolutely staggering to consider the deadweight loss that AI has caused educators in terms of burdening them by making cheating easier, and how little our society's elites care
Across the country, a small but growing number of educators are experimenting with oral exams to circumvent the temptations presented by powerful artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT.
