I never said that it was a new thing, what I’m saying is that the introduction of AI in the classroom is the perfect way to bring critical thinking back to the classroom. That’s one thing that AI is good at… getting people to realize that something they’ve just been told might not be 100% true.

It is impacting their critical thinking because the teachers aren’t teaching the kids how to use AI!
My kids came home talking about an interview she did with one of her heroes. She knew all kinds of facts, including what type of dogs her hero has. I had to explain to my 8 year old that an AI doesn’t know very much, but it will never tell you that it doesn’t know something.
I don’t mind that my kid’s school uses AI for learning, but I am pissed at how they are using it the exact wrong way. It should go side by side with learning critical thinking.

Ollama, Open WebUI & Automatic1111… I have grand plans, but the rate of change is holding me back from putting in too much effort right now. It is amazing how simple it is to set these up on my Macbook, and how well they run.

I bought the Pixel 9 when it first came out and it is, without a doubt, the best phone I’ve ever had. Prior to this the Pixel 3 was what I used to judge my other phones by.
But, it isn’t AI that makes the phone great… it just works very well, is powerful and has a great camera (oh, I suppose the AI parts of the camera help a ton). As far as Gemini goes, with the purchase of my phone I received access to Gemini Pro (or whatever they call it), it’s the service they charge $20 per month for… and it is absolute shit. It’s fun for creating AI generated images, and does a pretty good job at it. But as a replacement for Google it is worse than useless. It absolutely refuses to answer any questions about politics. It gives incorrect answers to the most simple of questions (I was tired one night and just wanted a sanity check on a simple math problem, and it confidently told me that my answer was correct… it wasn’t, I was off by a factor of 100). And it is making Google Assistant even more unreliable than it had already become.
AI didn’t ruin the gadget, my phone is still an amazing phone AND I’ve been able to use it to access my own AI system running at home. But the idea that corporate owned AI systems are something that we should strive towards, or even consider using is the main issue.

How many do the FBI get involved with? How much does the NYPD typically spend investigating each one? How many do they swear they will solve?

1 in 6… that seems very close to the number of women in congress under the age of 45.

- Comment on Office life in 2023 1 year ago:
Fuck that… I’m a manager and I’m always creating memes on my phone at work that’s much higher quality than this.
Also, managers also know that office life sucks, we’re just trying to keep the wheels moving and the paychecks coming.
