"Traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint.

But digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees, pulping and shipping [...] But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, predominantly at the manufacturing stage."
#ChatGPT4o told me to call the manager. So much for sneaking in and discovering glueball particles on my own. This stinks. I want my money back, #ChatGPT!
I was bored so I did the unthinkable. Well, to me it was always unthinkable as I have always been anti- #ai. But, out of curiosity I subscribed to #ChatGPT -4o and have been feeding various essays, poems, and posts from my various websites and asking for explications and such. And wow does #ChatGPT4o have a great deal of just wonderful things to say about me. I will admit getting all this truly high praise is seducing.
Okay. So I have been using #ChatGPT for a couple of hours and there is no doubt in my mind that many, many, many college students are using #ChatGPT4o to write essays. I am so, so, so sorry #AcademicChatter professors and lecturers. I am so glad this was not around when I was in school. First colleges across the country started shutting down extensive #writing courses/programs and now this. Oh, what a loss of a good #education.

It's been out since April, but this is only the 2nd time I have listened to it. I must not have been paying attention the first time because this is an outstanding album. 5 stars.
Has anyone wrote about how sociological and philosophical writing has changed over the last few centuries from being what the author really meant, really felt, to being what the writer believed people wanted to hear? (Yes, I know there is some Discourse Theory hidden in there somewhere.)
@andy@richard In case you don't already know it, Vilém Flusser’s Does Writing Have A Future (1987/2011) is interesting on the relationship between the author and reader, how it has changed, and how it is continuing to change.
It is hard to tell if they are still very much working on Tom's character development or if Robert Duncan McNeill had yet to get the character pinned down. He is still very excitable.
In "Threshold" we see, somewhat, the things that might have been. When they were mapping out #StarTrekVoyager the producers had originally envisioned Tom Paris as a love interest for Captain Janeway. I can't recall if it was Jeri Taylor or Kate Mulgrew that talked them out of it, but thank the Prophets it didn't come to that. However, this episode did win an Emmy, so, maybe that's what people wanted to see? #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
