Because immigrants use their money to buy food and shelter and make the local economy thrive, while AI gets money in the pockets of the rich

Selfless and morally guided actions. He’s the dictionary definition of a hero.

I never thought this would need saying, but the point of writing essays in school is not the final product.

That essay will almost never be good enough to be relevant or published; no one expects it to be. The goal is to engage with the material, and learn to synthesise and present your ideas logically.

We must grade the process of writing an essay, never the final product; especially not based on how “good” an essay that final product is.

We’ve got to stop and ask ourselves why people don’t have AI complete video games for them, but do so for essays. It’s because in one case, the value is in the process, while in the other, the value is believed to be the result, but it shouldn’t be.

If people understood this, it would make no sense having AI write students’ essays. You can blame people for wanting to take shortcuts, but I believe our society and culture at large play a much bigger role in that trend.

PSA: Prompting an LLM at length about what not to do is the best way to prime it to do that very thing. You’re loading a lot of tokens in memory and expecting a single “not” to do all the heavy lifting.

This is adjacent to ironic process theory.

Only in America is it considered “conservative” to overturn years of laws and policies and to strive to return to the 1800 “gilded age” or whatever.

Anywhere else in the world, this is correctly described as regressive.

When rich people figured out the economy is really just a social construct

Maybe if our system didn’t allow mere individuals to collect a net worth equivalent to small countries…? Hate the game, not the players. Billionaires should not even exist in the first place.

You raise a good point. That would make for a very funny comic strip, wouldn’t it?

Postponed for « five days », just until markets close next Friday. This is all just one big grift.

If you carry a scorpion on your back and you’re surprised when you get stung, maybe the problem less with you.

I remember something about a speck and a beam… It’s funny how ignorant these people are to their own religion. They simply use it as an instrument to seize power and control.

It wouldn’t change a thing.

He’s just the symptom of something bigger and way more entrenched in American society.

You need to understand that Trump is the fall guy for Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, and all their billionaires and NRx friends who are the ones whispering in his ear. He doesn’t come up with any of that stuff.

The moment he falls, another one will rise.

I know nothing about the topic, but just wanted to chime in to say I appreciate your use of the interrobang.

Idk about body shaming, maybe “my dick” wasn’t a warranted response to begin with?

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Definitely. The world was so quick to sanction Russia for its invasion, but the US faces no consequences for its actions…

Better late than never. Next step is realising that Trump didn’t get where he is alone, and nothing would change if he were to die tomorrow. The problem is deeper than that.

I’m sure it’s not pee, but P for something worse.
