you’d almost think Foundation was The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire In Spaaaace or something

Newsom is absolutely A Type Of Guy

I wasn’t aware that the big four were buying the transport infra too

it’s also important to look at Newsom’s actual real-life actions to “solve the root problem”: an executive order to steal all their stuff and throw it away, presumably on the assumption that the bums will magically vanish into pixie dust

the article isn’t about homelessness at all, Newsom is getting weird about genAI and spun the wheel for a random issue to solve with genAI

they’re related in that sense, but what they learn is which token to generate next.

Every quote has the source linked following, you bloviating fuckwit

the setup is the loved one’s, with the nice mic on an arm and all

Newsom is a very special fellow

Tasteful organic advertising time: the video Q+A that Amy and I did last month is now up for the public and not just our patrons. See and hear us in full rant!

yes u need web3 for that

this is a fun post and it can stay for now, but it’s probably off-topic for sneerclub

This is why you should never allow the use of the marketing term “AI”, and instead always refer to the specific technologies.

The use case for the term “AI” is to conflate things that work (ML) with things that don’t work (LLMs).

so the thing is this is a private school at the sort of fees that attract really good teachers and use them as a selling point, so I don’t actually think being cheap is the goal here. I think some idiot thinks this is actually a good idea.

I extremely much want the details on how this all works.

I’m trying to work out what the fuck is up with this school. Like that’s a private school fee, sure.

But in what world did this look like a good idea?

for comparison, there’s a school that does an online GCSE at £5k/yr full rate, popular with diplomats and expats, but for about half the students it’s paid for by the local council as disability support (kids who can’t attend a physical school for some reason). I predict everyone involved would shit if they tried this AI nonsense on them.

yeah, i think they say a human played it but it’s not clear if an actual human did.

the kicker here:

this GCSE costs £27,000 per student per year

they’re paying this much not to have teachers

I’m trying to find any detail on what they actually do in this thing and I can’t find anything. As far as I can tell the AI does ??shit?? and the “learning facilitators” are the “teachers”.

they made something that actually does not run doom, which is a first at least
