Something that feels very nefarious to me about kids with tablets or laptops in class is it doesn’t allow them to doodle in the margins
I sleep soundly at night knowing this tech has been fully embedded into every aspect of our economy 👍
PBS News@pbsnews.org · 6d agoThe State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.
Woof, too real
Carolina A. Miranda@cmonstah.bsky.social · last wk."The vast majority of people who work in film and television are not studio executives, nor are they famous actors.
