You know that you can use ChatGPT for free, right? Also, paid plans aren’t so expensive that a student couldn’t afford one.

If you think free access is the only thing between students using AI and learning traditionally, I’m afraid you will be disappointed.

Free AI won’t change much for most people, except that the government can choose what models the citizens will use. This way they can be independent of US companies dominating the market.

Oh, I just singled them out because they are big offenders and completely unnecessary in general.

You already can get from A to B without them, the only usage they have is to save rich people time and the indignation of traveling with the poor.

I’m not against the abolition of the plastic straw. It’s a step in the right direction. But if you look around in a supermarket and count the plastic on the shelves…

The plastic straw ban was a drop in the ocean, a symbolic act, a propaganda piece without addressing the heart of the problem.

What would have been a real solution? Make plastic more expensive, for example by introducing a tax going towards research for a solution and subsidizing plastic alternatives.

Why wasn’t something like that done before? It would cost money, and rich doners control the politicians.

So we get performative actions only - rolled back by the next government of course.

Oh, I’m not saying that there are no activists anymore, just that the corporations successfully distracted large parts of the population by shifting blame to the consumers.

Well, GTA5 doesn’t even have an option to ask your friend, who has a private island, to take you to his wildest parties, so Elon was disappointed that he could not live out his crime fantasies!

One of the most brilliant (and evil) tricks that big corporations have used is to shift the blame for climate change to normal people: just recycle, don’t use plastic straws, and buy our CO₂-neutral products, and everything will be fine!

While not unimportant, it’s a very small change compared to the pollution of corporations and private jets. It’s easy for them to pay lip service to the environment while the real pollution goes on unimpeded.

Environmentally inclined people feel like they do something and don’t rally against the real problem. They just have to convince everyone to live like they do and the environment will be saved!

Michelle is a fine lady. I’d be down to be the milk in their chocolate, wink wink, nudge nudge.

I doubt that he receives world-class healthcare… They don’t give that to dead people.

There were two large beef orders - one from Argentina, governed by a Trump ally, and one from Brazil - that were denied by the destination countries (China and Europe) due to health concerns.

And just by chance Trump ‘found’ cheap mystery meat of unknown origin…

Don’t eat it. Perhaps you can try to be vegetarian for a while? I would.

This, and I hope that it wasn’t a body hair fetish that triggered this post.

I can see future students simply denying that anyone would have really voted for DJT.

“I refuse to believe that anyone was that dumb!”

Can’t really blame them, I can hardly believe it now.

There is also the ‘jagged frontier’ that can throw you off. The AI will solve hard problems for you, and you think, “Wow, it is more useful than I thought,” and then it gets absolutely stumped on a simple problem: completely stuck and unable to continue. If you are not a developer yourself, but just a vibe coder, you will be stuck there with your AI, with no solution.

There is a president that tried to overthrow the elected government, is a convicted criminal, is openly corrupt and don’t get me started on what he did to children! And no one does something! It’s insane.

How about a distrust of all the big CEOs? The rich need to be reigned in.

If you need me I’m at the Sex before Marriage Lounge.

Let’s reverse the headline: They are killing 114,000 people to steal 1,000,000,000,000 $ from you. Every year. For decades now.

Luigi should have been the beginning not the end.

Might be a couple of reasons. Corvid, economic downturn, political turmoil. People are just more stressed - and rightfully so, as the world is a clown show, currently.

I guess a normal game of monopoly, but everyone is armed with a knife and given a watertight alibi for the time.

“Are you sure you want to buy this street?”

To be fair, I would rather write 3 books on something I love than write 3 pages on a school-enforced topic.

Personal interest is important. Too bad that schools very seldom manage to inspire interest in their curriculum.

Anyone who is older than 25 existed when the towers fell, which is significantly younger than 35. Whether a kid much younger than 11 can remember where he was when it happened is another question, but the math is correct.
