The teachers are desperately doing everything they can to keep AI OUT of the K12 schools.
The only people advocating for this are people who cannot read, and therefore cannot write themselves, and don't understand why the literate crowd hates AI generated stuff.
This is so far away from the public education reforms I advocate for including mandatory learning in ecology, critical thinking, gardening, food preparation, communication and relationship skills. We need these skills when we leave this machine driven artificial intelligent culture for good.
“ The controversy surrounding the Hope Florida Foundation goes back to last year, when the state of Florida discovered they were owed $67 million in a settlement with the Centene Corporation after the state was overbilled for Medicaid. The draft agreement obtained by media on Tuesday suggested that $10 million of that money was funneled to two nonprofit groups involved in the campaign against the ballot measure. One of those groups gave money to a PAC tied to DeSantis’s then-chief of staff James Uthmeier.”

Well, during covid, my city council got taken over by MAGA GQPs plus a MAGA GQP mayor (one of those council members was forced to resign for also holding a city job, and another, my council rep, has been voted out for embezzlement, and the mayor has been voted out, too). During their time in office, they used emergency powers to approve an entertainment district for the university at taxpayers cost. The district was HEAVILY opposed by the public and only passed during a closed, late night meeting.
The opposition, my team, has called out the notion of "emergency sports arenas" and the new council and mayor are working hard to end the potential development. The only argument the pro side seems to have is "well, we've already signed contracts, and those will be expensive to break". Fortunately nobody is buying it.
In my world, we have termination for default and termination for convenience of the government. T for D, you have to prove the default. T for C, you have to pay them for the work they actually performed, supplies they bought, etc.
"Emergency sports arena" sounds like my favorite song:
It's St. George's Day, which is traditionally celebrated by men with beer bellies and/or public school educations* moaning about how they're not allowed to celebrate it.
*remember, USians, that's not the same as US public school
Starmer was wanking on this morning about how the English flag has become the property of bigots and Little Englanders. I think he was against it but it was hard to tell, and given that is who he is trying to get back into the Labour fold I’m really not sure what his point was.
Which is totally about heritage, despite how it was actually the battle flag of the army of Northern Virginia, which is a very small region, but later adopted because out of all their assholes only Lee was a sympathetic figure (though not to me: he did not fight to defend Virginia, but to keep his wife's slaves, but I digress).
Not quite, in that it is literally the flag of a nation within the UK and it’s not considered a problem to show it when England plays a sport, but if you see it in any other context it’s a pretty good sign that the person who owns it reads the Mail and has strong opinions on immigrants.
Might be a different school system, but it has a parallel of USians with beer bellies and christian school educations moaning about how they can't celebrate manliness anymore!
Ha! The Cinema Therapy guys made a horror short. I mean, I don't think it has anything to do with their Cinema Therapy gig, but Alan wrote and directed it and Jonathan's in it.
Agree - that was Harris' greatest mistake. No doubt the campaign listened to their paid political consultants, who are greedy and have no spines.
As for what RFK the Lesser said, notice that he seems to think that only males are teenagers. To these chuds, women and girls aren't real people. As for the amount of testosterone anyone has, who gives a fuck? Other than insecure males, that is. And how does he know this anyway?
They want a perfect woman whom their friends would be jealous of to make them money, cook and clean for them, and lay back and think of England on demand.
Well, after an awful time waking up still sick yesterday from the anesthesia, last night I slept great and this morning I feel great other than the pain at the incision sites, which is to be expected. Breakfast will be avocado toast with salt AND PEPPER, boiled eggs, and a banana. That will be lunch too, then dinner will be half a chicken sandwich from Chili's.
I spent yesterday watching Laverne & Shirley, and today looks like a marathon of Orson Welles pictures. Plus more napping. Nothing worse than sick days when you're actually sick.
although the real challenge would be creating a large-language model stupid enough to spit out a realistic simulation of the speech Trump might give to laud the winners and call for the immediate military invasion of Latveria.
We could have Daniel train the model. And then use AI text-to-speech with Orangini's voice. Since we have all the dumbasses' mobile numbers, just call them and have the AI babble for an hour or so ...
Wow, AI slop AND PraegerU?
Can't see this all turning out horribly, horribly wrong, nope!
Steve Bannon's hot tub is not something I wanted to consider or visualize.
I thought I read something about him pouring acid in one of his "regular" tubs
Back in his "I didn't assault my ex-wife because the police report has been disappeared and so nobody can PROVE it" days
Which ... yeah

"Emergency sports arenas" used to be called "using a side street as a stickball diamond."
Yeah, no kidding.
Nothing like an ad hoc pickup game, with one kid detailed to scream "CAR!" so the players can get out of the way.
Let the university used their own money to build it. -_-
I tried explaining this once to my rural raised spawn and they just looked at me funny.
I finally went "Well, we didn't have AC you see"

I don't honestly remember a time in my life when the England flag wasn't the property of bigots and Little Englanders.
Your version of our confederate flag then?

The correlation between St George Cross flags and Brexiteer fuckwits in Derby is very clear. Very local sample but all I have.

HERETIC!!!
You make that sound as if it's a bad thing.
Depends on who is yelling it. I am a heretic as well.

RFK Jr: An American teenager today has less testosterone than a 68 year old man. Sperm counts are down 50 percent.
WATTERS: Wait -- an American teenager has less testosterone than a 68 year old man?
RFK JR: That's right
I think the greatest mistake of the Harris campaign was easing up on calling these fucking weirdos weird.
This weird leathern man is on TV trying to get people anxious about whether their children's cum is potent enough.
Say, here's a point: weird leathern man may be the best description yet as the bastard does look like he'd been dug up from a bog.
Let's call him "Peat".
👍🏼

‘An American teenager’ also encompasses all teenage girls, is that where he’s getting confused?!
"Which American teenager?"
"Well, his name is Pete Chuckles and he goes to Jeremy Christmas Eyebrow High in Santa Chutney, South Virginia."
"Solid red area, probably safe to assume a lot of people who live there are watching. Pete, if you're there, have a good evening."
"Little fucker keyed my car."
"Slapdash work as well"
"I AM PETER SELLERS wasn't great creativity"
"If only he were"
"Is he still Pete Chuckles?"
"No he calls himself Dave Random Eight Ball now"
"Well, he did kill that dog"
"True, true"
Thank you, I was feeling lost, not knowing who it was.
All you really need to know this is some bullshit is to walk into any teenager boy's room.
Do not bring a black light. It is not needed.
Agree - that was Harris' greatest mistake. No doubt the campaign listened to their paid political consultants, who are greedy and have no spines.

I'm not chiming in until I hear what Herman Cain has to say.
The worms go in
The worms go out
The worms play pinochle on his snout.
He's brown bread
Everyone said
And nobody cared
What study is being cited, and what was the methodology?
RFK Jr has beeing going round testing it personally, by dipping a finger in it and smearing it on his gums.
LOL
A) His ass, and B) his ass.
Yeah, it's all incel bullshit designed to justify being shit to women.
We're not being shitty to women! We're being "Manly"!
Which explains why incels can't get laid in a brothel.
They don't want to get laid.
They want a perfect woman whom their friends would be jealous of to make them money, cook and clean for them, and lay back and think of England on demand.
Citations are for nerds!
(buffs his Nerd Card)
It had traction.
First, WTF, why does he look like that?
Second, WTF is he talking about?
1. Years of drug abuse, followed by years of intense workouts (and probable steroid abuse) to get 'healthy' after kicking that first habit.
2. The right's obsession with manliness given a thin coating of 'science'.
Who even knows. Though I do remember when my one nephew was born his mom was convinced that lavender would lower his T score or some such.
I was all...yeah but is T score really important in a newborn?
I would suggest that 50% of US teenagers have very low testosterone levels and zero sperm counts. Which will greatly effect the averages.
I've said it before - as a middle aged testicular cancer survivor, I find their obsession with testosterone and sperm count baffling and pathetic.
It's the eugenics coming through their "rhetoric" ...

So glad you've got the surgery and are on the mend, Diane!
Awesome Orson!

Glad you are feeling better!
although the real challenge would be creating a large-language model stupid enough to spit out a realistic simulation of the speech Trump might give to laud the winners and call for the immediate military invasion of Latveria.
No need for AI for that! We've got Daniel
To simulate Trump, a small-language model would more than suffice.
ouch. It's the timing and cadence for a TTS model we would have to train. Or maybe there's already a "demented idiot" speech model out there?
This is just crying out to be investigated further.
We could have Daniel train the model. And then use AI text-to-speech with Orangini's voice. Since we have all the dumbasses' mobile numbers, just call them and have the AI babble for an hour or so ...
