/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years

  • The world will be better off if the US and Israel lose. If they're allowed to do whatever they want we're all going to die, the empire must be destroyed.

  • Do you think China will win the AI race?

    Jump

  • The only race I can think of is the race to AI being profitable. Right now it's just a money and energy pit.

  • Hey, if you didn't want Iran to have a nuke, maybe you shouldn't have assassinated the leader who was opposed to Iran having a nuke?

  • Professors Say AI Is Destroying Their Students' Ability to Think

    Jump

  • What? I said that chatbots can be useful, such as if you used it to explain concepts like how I used to use supplemental lectures. Hardly black-and-white! The danger surrounds students using it as a shortcut to avoid work and to cheat on assignments, and they absolutely will.

    Remember, fault is irrelevant. The assumption you seem to have is that a student that uses a chatbot to sabotage their own education deserves it; we should just let this divide emerge between students that ruin their education with chatbots and students that succeed. Basically a sink or swim/survival of the fittest approach to education.

    That's a horrible idea. We can't afford to allow students to ruin their education. The vast vast majority of students merely do what is required to get a passing grade, and if getting a passing grade no longer requires learning or understanding anything then they won't bother. That's really bad for them as students, and for society as a whole.

    What you're proposing is the collapse of civilization.

  • Fault is irrelevant. The question is if students will hurt their education with AI, and they will. Whether they're hurting themselves or being hurt by an unsafe technology is actually a secondary question that doesn't really matter in this instance.

  • There's different ways to use it. If you use it to cheat, yeah, your ability to think will be destroyed because you aren't learning.

    It might be more useful if used to explain concepts, so you can do the actual work yourself. I know there's a lot about math that I didn't really learn in class and had to learn from extra lectures I watched outside class in my personal study time, so if someone used it like that it might help. Personally, I'd be too anxious about hallucinations teaching me bad information. The last thing I'd want is to end up like that guy who thought he was inventing new types of math because his chatbot told him he's a genius.

  • As if it will even make a dent 🙄

    Unless he puts a cap on oil/gas exports it isn't going to make a difference.

  • Yeah, the changing material conditions will do most of the work of convincing the first world proles that we need socialism, the danger is that economic resentment can easily transform into fascism. Our job is to convince them of socialism instead of barbarism.

  • What happens if oil hits $200 a barrel? Alberta or Texas will be fine. But economies that don't produce oil are screwed. Especially those that depend on cars.

  • I'm sure it was just a coincidence. 🙂

  • Oil peaked at $147.27 in July 2008; adjusted for inflation that's $223.53 today.

    Lehman Brothers went bankrupt 2 months after oil reached that record high.

  • I think the third-worldists have a point about the class character of first-world workers. They have property, they have investments, they have securities and savings, they have high wages at the top of the production chain, and they have a lot to lose. This aligns them with transnational capitalism against the workers of the world because they benefit from imperialism.

    Social democracy is ultimately a project about more fairly distributing the superprofits of empire among first-worlders.

  • I also had an electrolyte thing and a big breakfast in addition to all the water, and my vitals were totally fine. But, as I got 2/3rds of the way through my blood pressure cratered and I started seeing stars. Fortunately I didn't pass out or puke this time! 😅

    It's just, the instructions were to drink that much "before I came in" with no indication for what "before" actually means.
