  • That’s a perfect way to put it. I remember starting college and being really excited about the cloud, having my stuff accessible anywhere, changes automatically saved, etc etc. but now I don’t want any of my shit anywhere near their servers, it’s mine and mine alone and I’ll manage it myself and buffer against losses the best I can. I’d rather have myself fuck up and break a hard drive rather than let microsoft or apple wipe my stuff over a bug or because I didn’t pay them enough. Horrible, misleading bullshit.


  • The AI only fools us into thinking it’s intelligent because it picks the most likely text response based on what it’s read before. But often, the output is confidently wrong as it’s really just a parlor trick.

    that’s basically what many humans do

    i think AI still has really cool applications, it’s just that the vibe is getting destroyed by shitty companies putting it in everything, harvesting stealing data for it, the awful spam, and the built in restraints which make it act like you’re a child










  • whoever thinks this is a good idea really shouldn’t be working in education. objectively worse than the grinch. christmas is still christmas but there’s nothing like the feeling of getting a surprise day off AND a beautiful snowstorm

    no-snow-day policy

    why are people like this? surely teachers and admin appreciate the day off too? even if you have to add an extra day, getting out of bed for school sucks way less in the summer. my district prided itself on trying to call as few snow days as possible for some insane reason, even when plenty of other schools would be off.
