Theorizing the obvious? Wouldn’t that simply be that she job-hopped to a better job?

It’s easy to theorize ad infinitum otherwise

How many members of the class have abstained from using the LLMs provided by the major AI companies, raise your hands...

That's what I thought. Members of the class should be disqualified from joining based on this criteria alone

Agreed. The internet would be livid if Apple Music or Hulu limited how many hours you were allowed to stream per week. Especially the users who pay for the top-tier packages that include 4K (or lossless for music), extra channel add-ons, etc.

I haven't seen The Menu, but try watching The Bear instead. They demonstrate this level-of-service & mentality and it's much more sincere than you think.

I was impressed as soon as it loaded and immediately said, "Yea but what about the music?". Then I noticed the sound toggle button.

Absolute perfection!

When controlling invasive plants like honeysuckle using glyphosate, one of the more responsible approaches is to wait until all of the trees have lost their leaves in the fall and entered dormancy. The idea being that because the honeysuckle still has its leaves, you can safely use glyphosate on it with minimal to no impact on the rest of the ecosystem. I've always had my doubts (particularly due to studies on mycelium being exposed to glyphosate), but this is one of best practices that conservation departments recommend.

With this new study, it opens the possibility that trees may still have root absorption during the winter season. I feel like it is further evidence of how glyphosate likely always impacts the ecosystem and has no truly safe usage

It'd be more analogous if it were a brewery telling interviewees not to drink during the interview

So can we finally expect to see first-party Switch 1 games get discounts?

It's fun to ponder how modern society will evolve if this same mindset is applied to other domains that generative AI is eventually used for, specifically sciences. If AI (art) works cannot be copyrighted, there's hope that the same would apply to the other domains and prohibiting AI-generated works from being patented. Imagine AI finding 50 new ways of making insulin that don't violate the existing patents...

One can dream, right?! This could cripple monopolies and bring more power back to small businesses and individuals, as the capitalistic playing-field is leveled.

> So what can be done now? I don't think OSB is going to be redeclared illegal. I don't think that would be a good idea either.

I disagree - I think it would be a great idea. While some may argue that gambling is a zero-sum game (which isn't exactly great, in and of itself), it's really a net loss. While some people may win a bit of money, I'd argue that the degree to which their lives are improved is much less than the degree that some others' lives are destroyed. Gambling, ultimately, being a negative sum.

> Millions of people have started sports betting. If it becomes illegal, it won't make them stop

I disagree with this too. It's substantially easier for any random person to simply tap a few buttons on their phone to place a bet than to find and arrange opportunities with others to bet on sports or visit a brick & mortar betting site. The level of effort of placing a phone bet is so small (and with 24/7 access), you'd have a very hard time arguing that making OSB illegal would only marginally impact the amount of sports gambling taking place.

Bottom line: gambling is an addictive activity for all people and some more so than others. Limiting access to it will have a positive impact on pretty much everyone who does't own or work at a gambling company.

Earth

I couldn't disagree more, at least in the examples that the author gives.

Everything in moderation. Screens (and for children), particularly.

The author's perspective comes off as someone who's trying to justify their questionable choices to themself.

Yes, yes, and yes. I feel this
