I think it happens often enough when someone rich and/or famous becomes disabled or has a disabled kid. See the whole world of alternative treatments for autism.

With a touch of, and maybe I’m being mean, “this particular bad thing shouldn’t happen to someone like me! it must be that no one else tried hard enough to fix it till now”

I thought it was particularly telling that he says someone else in the “metabolic health” world warned him not to be mean about RFK. Take that as a sign that you’re in kooksville!

It’s very “should RFK Jr become a completely different person to the person he is and has been for years, he could really do some great stuff”

Please sneer at this article. I thought it was pissweak myself.

Edit: “Hear me out: RFK Jr could be a transformational health secretary”

Will a Republican-controlled Congress allow for more government regulation – even if it saves lives?

No. Next question.

We’re going to be answering two essay questions in an in-class test instead of writing a paper this year specifically to prevent chat gpt abuse. Which he laughed and joked about because he really believes chat gpt can produce good results !

It was there and gone fairly quickly and I wouldn’t say I’m a model student so I didn’t say anything. I’ve talked to him about Chat GPT before though…

Did the human pet guy write this

He’s using it to give examples of exam question answers. The embarrassment

My professor is typing questions into chat gpt in class rn be so fucking for real

I hope it’s just a stunt. If they’re serious the US could be in (even more) trouble

I somehow hate these losers more for trying to have their cake and eat it.

From the Small Mercies desk: remember Simone Collins was running for office in Pennsylvania? Well, she lost her campaign. Here’s a piece about her from the Inquirer.

Dune the wrong thing

People enjoy making amateur diagnoses of public figures, and people enjoy feeling like they’re superior to neurodivergent people.

Questions To Which the Answer is No, an ongoing series:

Generative AI - Can it actually help with the day-to-day technical work of a practising engineer?

The upcoming Autumn Panel Discussion hosted by the UCD Engineering Graduates Association (EGA) will take place on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at ESB’s Headquarters. This event will explore several pressing topics at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence. Attendees will gain insights into current trends in AI, particularly the latest advancements in generative AI tools and platforms. The discussion will feature case studies that highlight the successful integration of AI into real-world engineering processes, offering practical examples of its applications. Additionally, the panel will address the essential skills that engineers need to effectively incorporate AI into their workflows, providing guidance on upskilling for the future. The event will conclude with a Q&A session, allowing participants to engage directly with the panelists and delve deeper into the ethical considerations surrounding AI in engineering.

No, not software engineers, engineer engineers. Yikes!

You’ll hear no complaint from me.

The Martians seem to think that Mars will be like a new colony, with all the “hope” that implies, but it seems to me that colonization was a wretched process for many of the colonists (to say nothing of the people being colonized). Musk is only cheerful about it because he thinks he’ll be whipping the slaves rather than working the arid red soil.

Forced to endure an episode of an Irish tv programme about the environment in which a guest sincerely listed carbon capture & storage and small nuclear reactor as potential energy solutions. As mentioned above, the earth is our coffin, hope is a mistake, etc

Update: I got an extension 😇
