Texas by way of California, Indiana, and Utah. I work in HR, went to BYU, love my S. California teams (Angels, Lakers, Raiders) and dabble in investing.

@terrybythebay @foulweathermen @justin_hart Thanks, Terry. I don't know if any other standard matters. I'm just trying to be like Jesus.

@davepl1968 Excellent ratio! I was in kindergarden. One of my earliest memories as a kid watching it with the class.

[Chris Silva @csilva949]

@wrongbutkind That sucks, man. Sorry you have to deal with that.

[Chris Silva @csilva949]

@trashavocado @Gisele_ShoeSmug @lymanstoneky This is the truth. Kids that young are an accessory. They're easy to manage. I took my two oldest when they were under 2 to Hawaii and it was great. Seeing a 20 month old have Matsumoto's and interact with a giant sea turtle was wonderful. Plus they were lap kids and fly free.

@VinnyBonsignore @Raiders Crosby probably needs a breather too. Maybe Miller too. Don't want him to get hurt again. And Geno. Poor guy has had a long season. Let's give him a rest so he can better earn his contract that he hasn't lived up to.

@UtdDistrict Sesko was open on that shot

So wholesome

@DavidJohnButler hear it from the one of the biggest atheist streamers online Asmondgold:

"That's something Jesus would do"

Pardon the language.

@DataDInvesting I noticed that the organizer is Dave Butler. Same guy from Don't Miss This? He is such a great example.

[Chris Silva @csilva949]

@DataDInvesting I love our people. So grateful for these examples of gospel in action. Thanks for sharing!

@mike98572986 I was thinking about this yesterday. The visibility and high profile nature of this successful therapy only adds to CLPT being the clear leader in this space, speaks to the viability of this method of delivery, and only strengthens their moat. The machine is just getting started

So what you're feeling a little anxious at college in your first week! Doesn't everybody? That's the point, but nobody is willing to work through any kind of tension in their lives anymore. The moment you're uncomfortable just retreat into the easy solution.

[Chris Silva @csilva949]

This is so spot on. I was just asking a guy at church yesterday about how his kid was doing during his first week at college. He told me the son was feeling a little overwhelmed with the first week of school and was having some anxiety about it. One of the assignments that he...

I have a lot of thoughts on this AI piece from @DKThomp, but at the crux of it, he's right. The biggest risk of AI is not that we create a technology that ends humanity through malicious agents. It's that we outsource our thinking to machines and stop doing it ourselves, which has all kinds of knock-on effects.

I noticed something similar at Berkeley, when I was teaching. A critical batch of my students weren't even *thinking* when doing my assignments. They were just letting AI do the work for them.

This is a problem. I'm not asking you to implement a database system because *I* need to do the work. I'm giving you that assignment because *you* need to do the work. Of course AI can do it easily, but what's the point? Are you learning how to think about and reason with a complex concept, making the neural connections in your brain as a result? Or are you asking how to prompt chatGPT?

And in this process, what I'm seeing is something alarming: people are losing the ability to learn how to think. Students would justify it to me by saying "well, the work gets done, so what's the harm?"

Well, think about it this way: the advantage you have over ChatGPT is your mind. The human mind is far more powerful than even (especially?) most AI executives give it credit for.

If you're not using that, you're not any better than ChatGPT. And if ChatGPT can do what you can do, but better, then...well, why would anyone employ you?

[Chris Silva @csilva949]

You told your kid to use ChatGPT on his first assignment at college - not even a difficult one at that - because sometimes writing stumps him a little bit? What kind of foundation does that lay for his future education if that's how he's supposed to treat one simple poem?

@AndrewGibs53446 Is that the @DavidGFool book? There's something wrong with the link

@kylesheldon It was terrible. I watched the TNT broadcast.

[Chris Silva @csilva949]

@Betsycashmoney @EarlKnowsItAll It's not "objectively" true. The only thing objectively true here is that he wanted to do it. Nobody held a gun to his head. Maybe from a pure dollars and cents perspective it doesn't make sense, but signing a contract is not just about money. More factors are at play here.
