I’m not going to be in a relationship for the foreseeable decade

I like the jab here but I don’t like how some of these deepfakes are indistinguishable from real life if you remove some context and view it on a smartphone

I’m graduating a year later too.

I highly recommend the man pages versus what is on Google. Type ‘man’ or ‘man -k’ to search them. Also available on the web for your particular distro.

Also you might wanna increase the block size in dd. And, it might be faster to use dump and restore, since that isn’t copying empty space.

I’m in the camp that has used it to summarize my own essays or read chapters. I had it write me bullet points for the weekly chapter discussions that I would then rephrase. It was definitely a weak excuse to use AI, but most of AI-use is weak anyways. To be honest I will go on a long limb to plan my time and finish an assignment without it, be it writing or programming. I think it’s shameful to use any AI tool for that, so I’ve done all writing through manual reading and notetaking, which I think offers my real ideas. So I can say I am proud of myself for doing all (or most) writing myself, with the exception of some of those discussion reply posts. What I think is weird though is how shamelessly people will use it in public. To me GenAI is like pornography- it’s taboo. This geography class I was in had participation polls and this fat kid in front of me would just paste the question into ChatGPT every time, even if it was easy if you thought about it, had paid attention, or looked at the choices. That’s what’s scary to me, is the transition from its use case in anxiety/sleep deprivation/mental health situations to just pure laziness and dependency. It is a reason I really dislike GenAI and try to never rely on it for creative or learning purposes.

We’ve definitely seen the effects that social media and technology has on us; it’s made us addicted and dependent on online communities rather than speaking to each other, etc. (I’m not arguing anything about this). So it’s not a stretch to say that GenAI is going to affect our ability to think and problem solve to some degree, which is terrifying.

I think the AI-enabled zoomer has a point too, because LeetCode is pretty fucked up, yet the point is made in a way that interprets the world through a limited and adolescent perspective; we should reform, but AI is not the end-all solution.

I’ve obviously never been in contact with fiber glass insulation so I don’t know the risks besides the pictures here. Nonetheless the dangers of bare fiber glass contact are still dangerous which is where I draw my source of caution.

Also get a life, you are jumping to outrage over Internet comments

I went into my attic once and I shudder to think that the insulation up there may have been glass fiber. I really fucking hope not because I sort of tripped up there. I’m fine, didn’t feel anything later, but to think I had no caution terrifies me.

For the same reason, optic fiber terrifies me. Microscopic glass needles embedding themselves into your skin.
