Funny, I thought he was being held in place by dark magic.

Although, it could well be a girdle infused with dark magic…

Yeah, mispronouncing AI is strange, but what about her wanting to use AI to educate first graders, even preschool kids?

I just… I don’t know what good can come of that.

You’re right. The illiteracy is everywhere. It’s a very troubling sign.

I wonder, were there any other points in history, post-literacy, where a significant amount of people went to school yet still lacked literacy skills? If it has happened, would it even be recorded? Or is this aspect of modern society truly novel?

It’d be nice to know how such a situation would’ve been rectified in the past, but I get the feeling the solution would be the same thing I’ve been calling for since my own childhood - a comprehensive public educational system with a focus on critical thinking.

The same people that organized Saturday’s protests put together this Lemmy community: https://50501.chat/

It looks like April 19th is the next one.

Legit, I think this is why board games are a great activity when getting to know new people. Most people don’t want to play with someone ultra competitive, who’ll either gloat when they win, or flip the board when they lose. If someone’s willing to behave that way over a game, imagine how they’d be over something that’s actually important.

Suck it, Manifest Destiny!

These policies work out for the business as well, especially when the store shares a plaza with a pet supply place.

People bringing their dogs to store A might see store B and want to shop there, too. If store B bans pets, that means people either have to bring their dogs home and come back (which is a pain, and people might not return at all), or leave the dogs in their car (which is dangerous or even illegal.) Smart business people don’t want people leaving without shopping, and people with any sense of decency don’t want dogs left in cars.

So when store B explicitly permits people to bring their pets, people can go straight there from Store A without worry. Customers are happy, dogs are happy, business people are happy, and no pets have to suffer in a locked vehicle.

He added that the merger would, “unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach."

He already owns and runs Xitter as a propaganda tool. Now he’s openly mixing it with his own bots.

Does anyone else get a really bad feeling about this? I see a lot of comments talking about this financially, but I haven’t seen any comments talking about the disinformation potential that comes with artificially seeding a social media site with his own AI bots. Granted, Grok’s responses have been based (so far), but that’s not guaranteed to last.

I don’t know exactly what the game plan is here, but the pieces are all laid out for Musk to spread his influence behind AI anonymity. That worries me.
