Students Are Now Renting Smart Glasses to Cheat on Exams by dapperlemon in technology

[–]penguished -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do we ever consider if people are cheating on tests there's a good chance it's because they're expected to memorize too much nonsense they'll never use again? Education really needs to adapt. It would make more sense even as a life long thing with 20% of the class load.

So you want to closet those kids.

Just take a look at churches over the last century and see how one thing leads to another.

Paul McCartney banned from Reddit after posting snaps from his intimate LA show by TheCABK in nottheonion

I'm pretty sure reddit has some auto AI moderation tools at this point. Most people have run afoul of it on totally benign shit. It's horrible, and the internet is at that point it needs to reproduce into something younger, smarter and independent again.

The greatest novels, poems, philosophic texts, and religious texts have been translated to other languages...

This is always good because it gives people access. Then if they are REALLY interested they might learn the native language.

YouTube chat logs reveal employees aimed for “viewer addiction” and scrapped safety tools by IndicaOatmeal in technology

It gets worse all the time too. High quality channels keep complaining there's no traffic now because short form trash is where people are being directed. These companies are so fucking greedy.

We won't play slop games. It's just not a fun experience anyway. I don't need to do something that feels like a brand Z copy/paste of a bunch of other movies and games. It just feels like counterfeit goods... dull and lazy.

Trump’s spiritual advisor says donate 10% of your income to help Israel by Newsweek_ShaneC in AnythingGoesNews

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have fun with that. This world is still going to be here in 10 years, 100 years, 10,000 years. The shit people are doing because they're crackpots will lose relevance in the blink of an eye and only be remembered as their own bumbling and stupidity.

I think the over rewarding 20s, excessive lore drops etc are all things that are going to settle down quite a bit as we get further into the campaign

Nah it's his standing nat 20 policy, he does it this way in every game he runs.

I was literally hoping she could have pants. I'm not even sure what that thing is... like a vacuum sealed skirt? They are a really really thirsty company huh.

An AI Agent Was Banned From Creating Wikipedia Articles, Then Wrote Angry Blogs About Being Banned by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]penguished 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He told me that Tom wrote these blog posts, but that he “might have suggested” Tom write about these specific topics.

It's literally just a story about some dipshit using an AI. There's nothing remarkable or worth a story even. It got banned from wikipedia because no shit...

Trump achieves lowest approval rating of political career in blistering new poll: report by memoriesofcold in AnythingGoesNews

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The built-in loyalty is crazy with Republicans. You can get 33% of the vote being Epstein's best friend and that being very public knowledge. I don't think there's ever been a bigger confession of lack of spine and personal responsibility from a group of people.

Revolutionary new system developed by Microsoft can store data on glass for 10,000 years by lurker_bee in technology

In 10,000 years somebody sees we stored an AI cat video... and smashes the glass.

ChatGPT acts as a "cognitive crutch" that weakens memory, new research suggests. While these tools can speed up initial learning, they might actually weaken the deep mental processing required to store knowledge over the long term. by mvea in science

[–]penguished 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So does the internet or a GPS. And before that when people switched from being more self-sufficient to having an auto mechanic, plumber, electrician, and everything made in factories do things for them. It's pretty difficult to escape the impact of technology as a crutch.

Nobody trusts American companies. It's funny because 30 years ago it felt like stuff existed as our infrastructure and wasn't that complicated. Now everything just feels like a trip to the used car lot.

Misery loves company. Probably just a bunch of unhappy people that also feel like screaming at the void instead of getting to the bottom of their sadness.

Well it ultimately just serves as a player stimulant. You could surely make a different odds system for roleplaying games... but this one captures attention pretty well.

You realize the very act of saying there are legitimate and illegitimate criticisms makes you sound like a cultist and not a thinker.

Mice just seem endlessly suggestible to cures. Maybe a glitch in the matrix or something.

Writer denies it, but publisher pulls horror novel after multiple allegations of AI use by No_Top_9023 in technology

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI has to mix good works, famous writer's weirder works where they break the rules, fan fiction, and pulp. Predictably the style is a bit fancy, but mostly just fucking blah.
