Its mostly semantics. Dude is saying guns don’t just go off because of X, Y, and Z. And people are pointing out that X, Y, and Z are the result of negligence.

People neglecting gun safety is the cause. The gun goes off because of the negligence.

Odd how they seem certain suicide will keep them out of heaven, but actively trying to bring about the apocalypse guarantees a VIP pass.

Vance is whatever he’s told to be. He holds no convictions beyond what his handlers approve.

Dexter Lawerence on the Bengals. Dude is a game changer and I’m excited to see how his presence helps our guys on the Edge and especially the LBs. A lot of noise about how bad the 2 rookies were last year, but we had zero pressure most of the time and they were hosed from the jump. I’m generally high on the secondary, if not the depth. I really think this revamped line is going to let the rest of the Defense be great at what they’re good at.

Offense is almost a full runback of a consistently great squad. The O-line settled in alright last season and while I’m a little concerned about OBJ losing a step, Mims’ rise and the improved interior play should hopefully give Burrow some more breathing room. And also hopefully he’ll learn to throw it away like Flacco did last year. I love the hero ball, but I like him upright more.

Even with context that is pretty alarming for a world leader to be saying.

I love my nieces and nephews and all my friends kids. Kids are great!

But my wife and I are not suited for raising kids, so we aren’t having our own.

Word. Edit wasn’t up when I got here. 👍

You are fundamentally misunderstanding.

Trans people, men or women, present the way they feel. And, until this bullshit bathroom law, would do exactly as you are saying, they would use the restrooms that matched the gender they present as. But this law makes that illegal. Now they are told to use the bathrooms that match their birth gender.

Now they comply and the cops still get called.

All of this was called out when these dipshit bills were being passed too. And let’s be real, some women look butch and some men can have slighter features. They also get caught up in this trans panic bullshit.

These laws were made to remove certain people from public spaces. Trans people can’t legally go to the bathroom if it doesn’t match their birth gender, and when they do they still get chased out because they do not look like their birth gender anymore.

Millions of dollars focused on specific genitals pissing and shitting in specific toilets.

AI is basically a slippery slope in all directions surrounded by pitfalls it misuse and abuse. People are too quick to trust it. I think a syllabus that includes a lesson warning people as early as possible about the dangers/risks is a good idea that is still relevant to the course. An ethics class for the deep dive is a fine idea, but I don’t think a chapter on analyzing this stuff in an Intro course is that out of bounds. Intro should at least address it, or at the very least not considered a waste of time.

I don’t see people giving up on it anytime soon. I do think eventually it will serve some kind of purpose or be refined enough to be reliable in some way. I think far too many people jumped into this stuff with both feet thinking the future is now and skipped over creating shortcuts for tasks in an effort to take shortcuts for profits.

And there are plenty of people who are willing to use and abuse this tech for nefarious purposes. Deep fakes, fraud, etc. they definitely won’t give it up as they don’t care about the effects on the rest of us

Because people are using AI in programming now. It will only be utilized more as time goes on. Getting into the risks and reward are necessary to know what to do and what not to do. Or at the very least what to be wary of.

Introduction Courses are the Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How. Knowing what you’re getting into and what you will be dealing with are just as foundational.

1. You can know things aren’t totally private and should still be able to make dumb jokes without the FBI getting involved.

2. Does a dumb joke about a bad experience really merit a ‘reality check’?

3. Social Media company reporting suspicious stuff is a good thing. What isn’t good is the zero due diligence. Just right to the FBI.

4. It is the fault of the social media for auto-flagging things then automatically forwarding to the FBI. I’d like more due diligence from the FBI too, but we don’t know how urgent they thought it was. Again, no due diligence and they auto-forwarded something to the FBI that must have made it seem like an imminent threat.

None of these are good things. Privacy should still be private. If we’re going to tacitly accept that nothing is private on the Internet for ‘safety’, then it should absolutely be called out when that privacy is violated for little to no reason. And again, some due diligence from someone. All of these things being done without anyone looking into it until the FBI is on someone’s door step is not good. Let’s also note that law enforcement jumping hard on bad information has led to plenty of wrongful deaths and injuries.
