A lot of good reasoning is going on already so I won’t repeat what I’ve upvoted already.

What I’ll add is that from a purely emotional perspective I am systematically turned off by AI output. It repulses me like a pond swarming with existential leeches. It bears a mark of contempt towards the human experience.

Having you forcibly pulled from The Zone by some colleague knocking at your office door to make sure you received their email is obviously painful, but this makes me realize that being forcibly pulled from The Zone in ANY way whatsoever is equally painful.

The tag is:

meta property="og:title" content="‘No quick wins’: China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor"

An og:title meta tag basically means “hey, if someone posts this on their social media, use this as the title”.

So yeah OP is off the hook .

Yes yes that’s it! I’m happy now ~ thanks!

(A few days ago I skimmed a super cool post about Steam’s relationship with Linux that says what you’re saying and now I want to give it a thorough read but I can’t find it . If anyone remembers and has a link to it I’d be super happy )

I’m playing Cassette Beasts lately too! It’s such a good monster collector. The low poly 3D+2D aesthetic is on point and it’s real cozy. They don’t hide their Pokémon inspiration but they do their own thing with it and I really like their take. It feels both kinder and more stimulating. I love that basically all battles are doubles.

Also Google’s now retired motto: “Don’t Be Evil”.

“A Guy Instead”, it’s in the title?

Good on you for owning up and best of luck. You did well being transparent about your process. I’m going to add two things about generative AI:

• Writing is thinking. If you’re interested in thinking, then be all means do it yourself. You don’t need to have perfect grammar, syntax and such. Lots of extraordinary authors don’t. Strive for improvement, don’t worry about perfection.
• Absolutely beware of generative AI’s biases. They may actually amplify their sources’ biases while occluding them. AI text is just rehashed human text, with all that it entails.

I’m not going to read in detail a text you can’t be assed to write in detail. From a glean I’ll say two things:

• Your alternative voices are basically all privileged white guys commenting carefully from the sidelines. How is that a counterbalance to Chinese activists literally disappearing? You know what it means to disappear in China, right?
• The common thread of your text is one massive, obvious false dilemma. It’s common knowledge that China is under a repressive regime, that the POTUS gives clear signals of envying such regimes, AND that democracy has issues. We can and do talk about all of them.

Of course let’s do Fordlandia again.

inclusivity is important so lets rock that inclusive OR

Right? We got two opinions on genAI among our non techs:

• “genIA is a joke and cannot replace human creation.”
• “Are our programmers writing all the codes instantaneously with genAI yet? Our competitive edge is at stake! O the productivity!”

There’s definitely an opening there, but it’s an uphill battle.

Water is for toilet. Drink Brawndo - the thirst mutilator! (It’s got electrolytes)

A remote servant, really? Is this how the tech bros aim to take the “illegal” out of “illegal Filipino domestic slave”?

Mon enfant y est né. À ce moment-là, l’hôpital était déjà complètement décrissé. Il est à la fin de son secondaire maintenant. Maisonneuve-Rosemont, tous les gouvernements s’en torchent, un après l’autre. C’est l’hôpital des pauvres : le revenu moyen de la région desservie est de 30 000 $ par an. Ils sont 500 000, ils sont davantage vulnérables, mais ils ne détiennent pas l’influence de l’argent.

Hey I love Kurzgesagt AND APRONS 💖

I always wear one when I do kitchen stuff! Mine doesn’t have pockets though. That pink is gorgeous but the slightest food stain would show terribly I’m afraid.

I don’t think a survey about the willingness to put effort into a morally good action is worth anything. How’s everyone’s New Year’s resolution going?

What are the actual buying trends? That’s the question.
