I’m not entirely sold on the argument I lay out here, but this is where I would start were I to defend using chatGPT in school as they laid out in their experiment.

It’s a tool. Just like a calculator. If a kid learns and does all their homework with a calculator, then suddenly it’s taken away for a test, of course they will do poorly. Contrary to what we were warned about as kids though, each of us does carry a calculator around in our pocket at nearly all times.

We’re not far off from having an AI assistant with us 24/7 is feasible. Why not teach kids to use the tools they will have in their pocket for the rest of their lives?

Nope, I work in STEM but not IT nor software.

I’m a serial hobbyist and actively pursue projects outside the scope of my job and education background.

FlightAware shows their departures looking pretty typical for on-time 🤷

So will people pay to have Nicolas Cage in their dreams, or will they pay to not have him in their dreams?

Careful there, bud, you’re singing the siren song of bank bailouts.

Could one just swap the credit card and email associated with the Pelaton account, and transfer the account to the new owner of the used machine? No “reactivation” fee needed if it never goes idle.

Caution needed if handing it over to a rando from Craigslist, ofc. But if I were selling to friend or family, I’d be willing to put in a little effort to save them $95.

The few people I know who are into the Pelaton community do it for the competition/gamification element. They watch their status against global leaderboards and are highly motivated by it.

For those that it works for, great. I am highly motivated by competition, but those prices are too rich for my blood.

Maybe there are also people into Pelaton who are like those who pay a monthly gym subscription even if they have space at home? And could buy a home setup that saves them money. The monthly pay makes them commit financially and motivates them to go to the gym consistently.

I interpreted it as you don’t heat the pot while the frog is still in the pond. You only apply heat slowly once the front is already in the pot.

Don’t load up the ads until the users are already on Threads. Wait until they are active on Threads, then crank up the ads when it’s more difficult for the users to leave.

Not Ello!

Jk, I was the only person I knew with an Ello account. I know more people on lemmy and mastodon and fediverse stuff than I did on Ello. It didn’t take much to predict it wouldn’t work out.

Couples going through a rough patch can open-source their marriage.

Aw man, the six-figure salary alpha dude bros are still going to be the only ones getting girls because they’re the only ones who can afford multiple subscriptions.

I was given one of those. I tried the app once and immediately uninstalled it. It’s worthless. The “let’s put AI in your computer mouse, toothbrush, and toilet scrubber!” of ten years ago.

marriage with chatbots

Subscription- based, I’m sure. We got a divorce because the $7.99 per month plan got jacked up to $12.99 and they started inserting ads!

My extremely progressive by American farmer standards uncle, who has driven a Prius for non-farm travel for over a decade, would probably stare at this article silently, turn, and walk out to the barn to continue working. Just about the harshest response that man ever gives.

Oh, agreed. And partially why I mentioned Boeing getting smeared in the news in my statement too. Pay means a lot but it’s not everything. Good managers and work a person can be proud of goes a long way.

Space industry attracts a ton of passionate people who would stick around to do cool things for mediocre pay. But not if the pay gets too low and/or when the work is not something to be proud of.

E g., I’ve already got a mediocre paycheck, why accept a mediocre paycheck and the grief of a worsening reputation. Someone currently at Boeing for mediocre pay can find another mediocre job elsewhere but it will still be better because the new company isn’t getting dragged in front of Congress for killing people to save money.

Ah, but Tesla is really an AI company that happens to sell cars.

Bold assumption that someone has written good, comprehensive checklists. Sounds possible if not likely that they’re underpaid and under supported too.

The report cites inexperienced workforce, exacerbated by the limited pool to hire from in New Orleans and the non-competitive wages Boeing offers compared to other aerospace companies. Mobile and Huntsville are right there. Lol, pony up, Boeing.

And the report mentions operators are given work instructions that lack detail and require the operator to go diving through multiple levels of specifications and historical records to understand what to do. This speaks to inadequate manufacturing engineers and processes, who are putting out the inadequate work instructions. So I’m assuming the non-competitive pay and retention problems apply to their engineers too, not just the hourly operators and mechanics.

Work for Boeing for bad pay and to see this shit in the news? Or hop over to Mobile, AL to work for Airbus at a better wage on a popular commercial plane with good reliability and a good reputation. Decisions, decisions.

I would think. And if that proof exists, it will come up at the appropriate time during legal proceedings. I’m skeptical there is any.

I guess they could call the entire existence of GARM to be collusion; companies banding together to “punish” companies who don’t follow their guidelines. But X is (was?) a voluntary member of GARM, so it seems that would be a difficult argument for them to make without implicating themselves too.

I guess reddit was feeding me all those ads out of the kindness of their hearts and took no money for hosting them. “Altruistic”, lol.
