Computer programs monitor students’ every word in the name of safety.

Counter point: when this isnt an obscure thing, and kids are aware of it, they will purposefully use trigger words because they are kids.

If kids/people are having mental health issues, whats the best way to handle that? By scanning for the symptom and telling them to stop being mentally troubled? I really doubt kids are getting the care they need based on these flags. Seems like a bandaid for cultural/systemic issues that cause the mental illness/harm.

Constellation Energy plans to invest $1.6B to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania and sell all the output to Microsoft for AI energy demands.

Maybe true. But if we have increased energy demand it might as well be nuclear.

Halting ai development might be nice according to many people, but we cant make that happen. Fraud alone is magnitudes more rampant. Its here to stay and we have to deal with it. I think this is a big win.

Raise Wages? No Need — McDonald’s Is Hiring Inmates Instead

Was going to read the article and explain why this is sensationalized but god damn they take 40% of their earnings at 7.25/hr.

Nobody works for 7.25. They should be required to pay them a competitive rate and nobody should be allowed to take a cut. It should be going towards their own betterment. You cant justify 40% wage cost for transportation to the job.

And if they blow off work for illegitimate reasons then there should never be any kind of punishment other than potential disqualification from further employment there like a normal person.

This is 100% reason enough to raise rhe minimum wage by itself. The prison system is really scary.....

The current flood of VR games is crazy, and it's not all good for the industry

Sorry for the lazy ask but is there a list of these games? Ive been playing the same couple vr games for years because ive been really unimpressed with new stuff.

Wheres the social focus on games? Im just seeing lots of campaign stuff. Maybe because indie studios are the ones taking the risks and they cant easily do multiplayer?

When is someone going to make a multiplayer game that plays well in vr and flatscreen to lock in a user population instead of it collapsing on itself after opening week?
