Very traumatic. One of those shocking moments in literature that sticks with you

And we as a human society have to grapple with what it means to be a human in a real way. What does it mean to think, create, and learn with a tool like AI? All of this has to be negotiated and thought about.

And even with cars or any new tech there were ethical considerations that developed for the safety of those devices. We implemented seatbelt laws, DUI, Age restrictions, licenses, etc. I think there should be regulations that guide the ethical use of the technology and what it is used for.

So what happens when the machine give answers that are not correct and nobody questions it? Or people use it so much it not even people talking to each other just their AI communicating a script? The AI only communicating with AI?

Itโ€™s all fun and games until she tries to build a bridge. Or tries to become a doctor. Or a lawyer. Or anything that takes critical thinking. People are complaining about learned helplessness now? Wait until all โ€œknowledgeโ€ is contained in a box that you give your thinking to.

A good example is one of my students used Chat GPT on her paper on English. She put in the prompt but she was unable to understand the nuances of what she was arguing about. She understood nothing of why her analysis was flawed. Or why she even needed it.

I am not a Luddite. I understand technology changes and augments society. AI can be a wonderful assistant in many ways for redundant tasks, data analysis, medical surveys, treatment, but if people cannot understand why the answer could be right or wrong then it defeats the point.

So how do you know what is true? Just take the god in the machineโ€™s word for it? As someone who is a teacher who deals with AI both as the push for it becomes overwhelming and as students are using it the problem comes in when no one questions the results or understand why the result happened.

a little black scottie dog pup climbs toward the camera from atop an orange velour chair. natural light beams in from the right, highlighting his dark fur to almost look like shades of blue. he has a tiny gold medallion on his collar that is stamped with his name: Roo.

This is Roo. He is the quaintest little guy to ever live. 12/10 would be delighted to pet

Itโ€™s easy to think games have always been long because of today. This game was long because it was HARD. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

If anyone knows of any extra-help, substitute librarian or library worker jobs (especially in the Bay Area) please kindly send them my way! (:

Iโ€™ve applied to a couple of places, but either havenโ€™t heard back or they went with someone else.

Long live libraries! โœจ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“š

in an archival photo, WeRateDogs founder Matt Nelson, a man with curly hair wearing a long-sleeved shirt, snuggles over on a blue couch to wrap an arm around his senior German shepherd, Doug. Doug is smiling and wearing a bright pink bandana. one of his ears has a signature wonky fold. they both look excited about the project they're launching.

A few years ago we started a foundation that sponsors shelter dogs with medical needs to make them more adoptable. We have done truly incredible things with your help and we hope to continue that here on Bluesky. Please go give @15outof10.org a follow! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

a little black lab puppy sits on two concrete steps with the most defeated expression on its face. all four of their paws are tucked onto one step, while their booty is plopped on the step above. this could be permanent for all we know.

Richonne is such a good love story. Years and distance kept them apart for so long but that yearning kept them for each other. In a mediascape that makes separation and getting with someone else common place, I love they stayed loyal and in love through time and space. #richonne

I have realized that we are the GTA 6 we have been waiting for. Iโ€™m just waiting for Franklin to steal the nuke codes at this point.

Donโ€™t give up. Many authors had middling to horrible sells before a breakthrough. And you sometimes just want to see a story play out even if nobody else digs it.
