@ChristnNitemare We use the word indoctrination very negatively but it just means to instruct or teach. Any form of instruction is indoctrination. How else do people learn? I think radicalisation is a more useful term as a critique, although not without problems.
Time for the US President and government to go through the same drills for safe preservation that primary and schoolchildren are forced to undertake because they don’t have a Secret Service to usher them away from people with guns and murderous intent?
Why are @uber allowed to charge passengers wait time but not penalised for saying a ride is x number of minutes away & only actually try to find you a ride once you accept, which invariably is always longer than the initial wait time? Very misleading. @TfL
@CherokeeOwl If the price of your service is 25% below the mark then raise your prices and pay your staff. Compulsory tipping says we don’t value our staff to pay them enough.
@emmagraeauthor It seems viciously ironic to use a time that is celebrating human creativity to suggest using AI to replace it. AI can be an amazing tool. However, using it as a cost cutting tool is not helping the children or human artists and authors.
@Look_its_Rhonda There is nothing honest in McCormack’s statement. He is out to rage bait. Fascists thrive on attention. There might be a time we have to stand against them but on social media let’s starve the ignorant scum of the attention they beg for.
@lobotomy_user@0xBel_ There are plenty of legit alternatives to Adobe. Either subscription free or open source. With AI (which you can also self host trained models) the argument for Adobe being some sort of industry requirement is no longer true.
@NationalTheatre very much enjoyed the streaming of The Importance of Being Earnest and wanted to donate but being forced to open an account and give multiple items of personal information was too much. I get you need donations but this is not the right way to get them.
@KellyLMcCarty@EricIdle Probably because she has access and influence over a motivated vocal enclave of voters that Trump is relying on. Eventually though the tide will turn and he will come for them as well once they have served their purpose to him.
@ImLunaHey If someone is an Apple fan & wants a relatively low cost brand device, go for it. But for college students I would suggest getting something with more RAM & more repairable. I use macs & iPhones but there are better budget hardware options in the price range especially refurb.
@penandjen If you wrote this on a smartphone or used a search engine, been shopping at a large online retailer, shared your data with marketing then you have directly or indirectly used AI. It’s almost impossible to opt out entirely and still be using digital technology.
University degrees are not all about salaries. They are about learning to think differently and more carefully. Dispiriting discussion on bbc politics live which focussed entirely on earnings. Ok the financing is v important but the aim is not just a high paid job.
@lara_santoro@scottsantens Have a look at Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. It’s not without critics but I think it demonstrates how certain basic needs when met allow the building of a better quality of life.
