I would give up access to Ai forever for like a hot dog

I repost this any time I see it & will add that teaching art in state schools has spiritual value, like this Vonnegut quote: “Practice any art, no matter how well or badly, not to get money & fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow”

This is cool, but fewer disabled people will be able to go to this because Nassau County, where the museum will be, passed a mask ban.

This is a genocide of children. 14 pages of babies. Babies. This is nothing short of an attempt to expunge a people. I look at my giggling son I feel sick. How could a child, even one child, be acceptable collateral for anything?

Just in case anyone wanted to see the aforementioned Didion piece fisherp.scripts.mit.edu/wordpress/wp-c…

As more and more reports emerge of AI’s detrimental impact on our environment, it becomes increasingly unethical for colleges and universities to promote it for research and teaching.

Not only that, but, the computers require so much computing power, which generates so much heat, they use a LOT of water to keep them from overheating. Training ONE AI program for three weeks can require over 250,000 gallons. It's harmful RIGHT NOW, let alone long-term.

As you settle into the routine of the semester, remember there are no universities left in Gaza.

I have not heard this discussed much, but this point is spot on. Colleges and universities cannot sell themselves as bastions of environmental sustainability while also encouraging students and faculty to see ChatGPT as a learning tool they should integrate into their work.

Heartbroken doesn’t cut it. The subway should be safe and free. The NYPD committed a mass shooting over $2.90, now Gregory Depelche is brain dead. We need to lift people out of poverty, not criminalize it. The NYPD put every person on the train in danger. NYC needs care, not cops

HELL YEAH
