I think that says more about the dire state of US news media.

The BBC has huge potential for good, but has absolutely been failing to live up to that.

Art prints, I think. There was definitely a black and white drawing of Harlech, and I think some pictures of birds.

Yes.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, β€œI DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, β€œokay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

And also an abuser, unfortunately.

No. Torturing people doesn't do anyone any good.

Are you just posting this identical comment on everything about this story?

The clips were nearly an hour apart, I believe, which is dishonest, but it doesn't seem to have fundamentally changed his message.

It was especially bizarre hearing them mention bias about trans issues, and then that turning out to mean people thinking they're too pro trans.

He did, but not quite as bluntly as the edit implied.

Should they have the right to not be dehumanized in education?

So object to the change, if that happens.

Yup, perfect.

There's no such thing as biological pronouns.

Why is this a problem, though? There's nothing immoral about following sex workers.

Don't worry, none of us have the skills to actually do this.

But will it make me look manly?

If it helps, I suspect this will largely be like the rich people who keep threatening to leave, and most of them actually won't.

You see that you're doing the same as he was, right?

Sometimes fun, often mildly annoying.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I am extremely worried about the people who aren't opposed to mass extinction.

This was an adult, and also those bans are shitty and do things like isolate queer teens.

What regulation would stop this killing people?

Having a tool that can generate vaguely plausible text is not worth even one death.
