Child says their goodbyes as the moon approaches

Some scammed, some got scammed. Same dynamic in general.

I was aware of him as a right wing troll debater through the internet but never ran into his content, or a fan, out in the wild. But a week after he died a billboard by my office had like an obituary ‘never forget’ type thing for him. Nauseating.

I don’t even think the ‘male’ part is essential. I generally associate with groups who just yolo/no life something to an extreme, usually with little to no critical thought or concern for consequences for themselves or others. NFT bros are my favorite example because they just super pumped a tech they knew little about and got took over and over. AI bros are almost there.

Just my 2 cents on the X-bros topic.

Just some extra red sauce, all good

That is certainly a lovely list to vote for.

Yes that is just as bad as Trump and Co actively dismantling institutions and lining their pockets at our expense. What a tough choice.

Your discourse is talking in circles and insulting people who agree with you.

You calling anyone sanctimonious is hilarious. Good stuff buddy

You keep acting like your choice is different. It’s the same result. You ain’t organizing a protest vote. You’re talking up a sit in.

Name a candidate. Push for an actual protest vote. The rest of your nonsense is the same milquetoast critique we’ve seen trotted out every election for at least the 3 decades I’ve been voting. You stand for nothing. Just a popcorn fart you’re confusing with actual discourse. It’s easy to offer criticism, but you’re just another finger pointer who noticed people ain’t doing shit and your solution is to not do shit.

Get over yourself.

Not voting is the second best thing Republicans want next to voting Republican.

Choosing to not vote is still a choice. A choice with identical results to voting R. Wax poetic about useless Dems being Republican-Lite all you want, Rs are still worse.

AI is basically a slippery slope in all directions surrounded by pitfalls it misuse and abuse. People are too quick to trust it. I think a syllabus that includes a lesson warning people as early as possible about the dangers/risks is a good idea that is still relevant to the course. An ethics class for the deep dive is a fine idea, but I don’t think a chapter on analyzing this stuff in an Intro course is that out of bounds. Intro should at least address it, or at the very least not considered a waste of time.

I don’t see people giving up on it anytime soon. I do think eventually it will serve some kind of purpose or be refined enough to be reliable in some way. I think far too many people jumped into this stuff with both feet thinking the future is now and skipped over creating shortcuts for tasks in an effort to take shortcuts for profits.

And there are plenty of people who are willing to use and abuse this tech for nefarious purposes. Deep fakes, fraud, etc. they definitely won’t give it up as they don’t care about the effects on the rest of us

Because people are using AI in programming now. It will only be utilized more as time goes on. Getting into the risks and reward are necessary to know what to do and what not to do. Or at the very least what to be wary of.

Introduction Courses are the Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How. Knowing what you’re getting into and what you will be dealing with are just as foundational.

1. You can know things aren’t totally private and should still be able to make dumb jokes without the FBI getting involved.

2. Does a dumb joke about a bad experience really merit a ‘reality check’?

3. Social Media company reporting suspicious stuff is a good thing. What isn’t good is the zero due diligence. Just right to the FBI.

4. It is the fault of the social media for auto-flagging things then automatically forwarding to the FBI. I’d like more due diligence from the FBI too, but we don’t know how urgent they thought it was. Again, no due diligence and they auto-forwarded something to the FBI that must have made it seem like an imminent threat.

None of these are good things. Privacy should still be private. If we’re going to tacitly accept that nothing is private on the Internet for ‘safety’, then it should absolutely be called out when that privacy is violated for little to no reason. And again, some due diligence from someone. All of these things being done without anyone looking into it until the FBI is on someone’s door step is not good. Let’s also note that law enforcement jumping hard on bad information has led to plenty of wrongful deaths and injuries.
