I'm not anti-AI, and I literally would not notice anything in my personal work if AI chatbots/word producers were banned today. In fact, in my broader work, it would be an improvement as I wouldn't have to grade AI generated student work that serves no meaningful learning function.

I know we are rightly upset, but Franklin looks good and I am happy to see Cade having a night.
You love to see. NY Dems could never. Not a spine among them.
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · yesterdayNEW: Maryland Democrats just passed a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 in response to Republican gerrymanders elsewhere. If voters pass it in November, Democrats could enact a map like this earlier proposal to target the lone Republican, Andy Harris

We've reached "housing affordability crisis while some people buy housing for their collection of luxury cars" levels of inequality.
While I love this, public libraries themselves are BIG free Blockbusters and I feel like not enough people know that.

The Swiss are looking at the refs like, "how can you take a side?"
I've given up on this. The only students I teach that I'm confident are still learning are in in-person classes after exhausting re-designs. The only way this changes is employers or accrediting bodies demanding online tags to online classes on transcripts for complete information on training.
Andrew Heiss@andrew.heiss.phd · 4w agowoof ≈80% of assignments this summer term have essentially been just raw chatgpt/claude output, including assignments that required designing stuff in illustrator/affinity/canva. The battle is lost for asynchronous online courses.
Hold on. His name was Agwalongdongwas and people called him "Good Peter"??
*standing in the vast desert in the future world we created* "You see, we had to keep burning more fossil fuels. We needed the compute. We had to create makework for the computers to show that we were giving the computers work because the economy had come to depend on it. Please, try to understand."
So. Trump nearly doubled gas prices, put the global economy into risk of decline, killed thousands of innocent people all so that we could end up with a deal more favorable to the Iranian regime than the Obama administration secured 12 years ago with fewer avenues for containment.
I can't think of a baseball team more capable of getting runners in scoring position with one out and ending the inning without scoring than the O's and it is slowly killing me.
I really hope Gunnar gets his head right. Tough game for him all night.
I think the thing that's a little surprising to me in this era is that Stephen Miller is clearly running a lot of the policy show and his xenophobia has absolutely cost powerful companies and interests in a range of industries a lot of money and it somehow hasn't led to his removal.
You all made Shai the villain when obviously Wemby is the villain. Can't be 7'5" AND a dirty ass player. That cheap shot on Brunson was way outta line.
The first legitimate score for the Jays came in the 8th.
Found the guy paying the ump.
Mike Wilner@wilnerness.bsky.social · 2mo ago#Orioles are upset, thinking Ernie Clement was out of the baseline avoiding a tag on the way to second base, but he wasn't. A runner has six feet of grace to try to get around a tag. Kazuma Okamoto followed with an RBI 1B, #Bluejays first hit with RISP today, and #Jays are down 4-3 bot6.
Concept: replace the packaged snacks with the bulk candy sold by weight that you see in candy shops. People bring in their own containers. No waste. More fun to pick. Have a good mix while you watch rather than too much of one or two candies.
Mike Pitts@pittso.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf I owned a cinema, I wouldn't stock any snacks in crinkly bags.
I'm not even mad at Bari Weiss. I'm mad that we haven't dealt with the ruptures to our tax and regulatory system that allows a billionaire to single-handedly purchase one of the five major media conglomerates as a toy for his failson heir who enables Bari's perpetual failure upward.

They should have challenged that foul on KAT. Terrible call that swung the game.
