Oh my gosh I didn't realize the tweet was from Donald jr. I thought it was just some random internet idiot. This is worse somehow.

What I’m saying is the only reason people go to school is to make money at their future career.

This is capitalist nightmare talk. This is not the only reason people go to school.

Also, even if the tools were good at writing original essays (questionable), people still need to learn how to do it. Even with calculators you spend a lot of time in elementary school learning how to do math without tools.

Other people have some really good responses in here.

I'm going to echo that AI is highlighting the problems of capitalism. The ownership class wants to fire a bunch of people and replace them with AI, and keep all that profit for themselves. Not good.

I really don't think creating for real artificial intelligence is a good idea. I mean that's peak "don't invent the torment Nexus"

Are you going to give it equal rights? How is voting going to work when the AI can create an arbitrary number of itself and vote as a bloc?

Creating an intelligent being to be your slave is fucked up, too.

Just... We don't need that right now. We have other more pressing problems with fewer ethical land mines

I do wonder how much of video's proliferation is because we (in the US at least) fucked up teaching a generation of kids how to read. I'm told one of the dominant strategies for teaching reading was just bad. Well meaning people went all in on it, and then kids just didn't learn to read well.

I mean, technically true in a "picture a spherical frictionless cow" kind of sense, but not something you're going to find in real life. Most people are susceptible to corruption. Cops have a lot of power, and we all know the saying about power corrupting.

On top of that, I'm pretty sure much of the training they're getting to be cops is bad. They don't spend nearly enough time on deescalation, I think , for example.

Except it is a lot like going to the gym. Most people , on most tasks, only get better when they practice it.

I guarantee you that people who actually write essays with their brain will perform better at a lot of brain tasks than someone who just uses an LLM. You have to exercise those skills.

The new daredevil tv show goes into this

I'm pretty sure anyone who becomes a cop to "reform it from the inside" will either be corrupted or pushed out. There've been a couple high profile cases of cops trying to reform, and they were rewarded with prizes like being shot in the head or having dead rats left in their mailboxes.

Imagine you go to a gym. There's weights you can lift. Instead of lifting them, you use a gas powered machine to pick them up while you sit on the couch with your phone. Sometimes the machine drops weights, or picks up the wrong thing. But you went to the gym and lifted weights, right? They were on the ground, and then they weren't. Requirements met?

yeah, it really depends on the group. Some people love learning new stuff. Some people are like absolutely phobic of it.

Though I have a half-serious hypothesis: Some players are so bad at rules, the kind of player that asks every week "what do I roll to attack again?", that you could just change the system without telling them and they wouldn't notice and do any worse.

Though that's less true for systems that require creative player buy-in like Fate. D&D in the "I move and attack" mode can be phoned in easier, I think.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
