They were on sale!!!

Your comment reminded me of the time I tried to connect my new phone number to my accounts, but had trouble with Amazon and AirBnB because the last guy with the number forgot to update his accounts.

Amazon told me it’d have to delete the old account before allowing me to connect my new number.

That’s not even the worst one though.

AirBnB gave me no other option than to log in to the other guy’s account through nothing but the SMS recovery code (which came to my phone since I have his old number now), starting the account recovery process from within his account, and then removing the phone number from his account.

After logging out (and closing the private browsing window and turning off the VPN), I was then able to link the phone number to my account. (And yes, I tried everything else – from within my account, it told me “Sorry, this number is linked to another account”)

Never had a problem with AirBnB or the new phone number since then though!

Ah, so if they just provide training to members of the Ukrainian military, then everything’s fine in Putin’s eyes? Loopholes are great

My attitude isn’t going to matter if we all die. Neither will yours, lol

[…] gamble the future of humanity over western hegemonic interests

…I thought this was about Ukraine fighting back against the country that’s been invading it

That could make sense. I’m not familiar enough with military weaponry to know how true it all is

Ah, I might’ve mixed it up with threatening or insinuating nuclear war.

Either way, it just seems like more sabre-rattling. Also, it’s not something that the US is doing, it’s something that Putin’s being a pansy about.

Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

Thank you! I read most of the first one and skimmed the second – I don’t get why they strikes would need to be done by NATO personnel.

Both articles allude to the fact that Putin considers it to be an attack by NATO because they’d be NATO-supplied weapons, but given his track record, he’d probably say anything more than turning a blind eye is an offense by NATO.

I hadn’t heard that. Do you have a source for that?

Media can discuss or examine an issue without directly showing it. That commenter wasn’t defending it or saying they want to see it.

There are Western shows that discuss drug use and rape without having to show it on screen.

I think you’re missing the key part of the problem. It isn’t the AI that’s the issue.

The problem is that he was being paid for how many listeners his AI songs got. But he used bots to “listen” to the songs. Nobody actually listened to his AI music.

The flaw in the system was that they couldn’t detect his bots. (And the bots are not AI)

I didn’t say that it is.

But to your second point, as others have mentioned, body image issues are likely the biggest reason for the change discussed in the OP.

Weightlifting at certain young ages can be harmful. I’m not sure if that’s part of the motivation as I’m not certain what the ages are, but that’s something else to consider.

EDIT: Typo

That’s also freakin’ bizarre to me! Lol

The point of assignments is to help study for your test.

To me, “assignment” is more of a project. Not rote practice. Applying knowledge to a bit of a longer term, multi-part project.

Lmao. That’s freakin’ bizarre.

You’re right. The commenter who made the comparison to Wikipedia made a better point.

I remember teachers telling us not to trust the calculators. What if we hit the wrong key? Lol

Some things never change.

Traditional instruction gave the same result as a bleeding edge ChatGPT tutorial bot.

Interesting way of looking at it. I disagree with your conclusion about the study, though.

It seems like the AI tool would be helpful for things like assignments rather than tests. I think it’s intellectually dishonest to ignore the gains in some environments because it doesn’t have gains in others.

You’re also comparing a young technology to methods that have been adapted over hundreds of thousands of years. Was the first automobile entirely superior to every horse?

I get that some people just hate AI because it’s AI. For the people interested in nuance, I think this study is interesting. I think other studies will seek to build on it.

I don’t think ignorance is a mental illness
