An old techie who occasionally uses new tech. Teacher by trade. Psychology and Critical Thinking are my subjects, YMMV.

I don't give a flying fig who you have relationships with, what you do in your bedroom or what you do in your church, as long as you don't expect me or anyone else to think, do or believe as you do.

I used to say that all my cultural references are 20+ years old, but that is now out of date. All my cultural references are from the previous century.

Well son, back in my day, we used to call that 30 mins. Yessir, 10 minutes followed by another 20 was what we called 30 minutes. But, I guess it's all different with you youngsters nowadays. Maths just ain't what it used to be #cooking

“AI engineers face burnout in 'rat race' to stay competitive hits tech”

> He said he often has to put together demos of AI products for the company's board of directors on three-week timelines, even though the products are "a big pile of nonsense."

@baldur

Jeez, if they just faked the demos they would probably actually work better than the actual "AI"

These two posts showed up one after another on my timeline. 🤣

With the 2024 election, Black people are not the people anyone needs to worry about. We’re not the idiots, we’re not the nazis. It’s white people. FOCUS.

Agree with you 100%

If TFG is elected again it will be because suburban white women are more afraid of "crime" and "immigrants" more than they are afraid of losing their rights in society. They figure their money and privilege will get them around abortion and contraception bans anyway. I am speaking demographically here, individual exceptions always apply.

White men, of course, are a lost cause. They WANT a fascist dictatorship because they assume they will be in charge. The above disclaimer, of course, applies.

Possible interesting trend...

I am subbing in a high school class that, since it is the last day of school for seniors, has nothing to do. Everyone is on their phones, of course.

But the guys in the class are using their phones to interact...they are showing each other stuff and laughing, etc. The girls are intently staring at their screens thumbing alone.

Not sure what to make of this, but I don't think it can be good.
