Looking at the replies to, say, https://x.com/aoc, it seems pretty steered to me.
If you want to hear replies from her supporters, good luck getting through a few hundred blue check marks. Compare this to something like https://x.com/RonDeSantis, which is an full of adulation for the guy.
In my estimation, X is tilted pretty far right at this point, simply because paid blue check marks are a sign of pride or shame, based on your political affiliation.
That's what I find most offensive about the use of LLMs in education: it can readily produce something in the shape of a logical argument, without actually being correct.
I'm worried that a generation might learn that that's good enough.
a generation of consultants is already doing that- look at the ruckus around PWC etc in Australia. Hell, look at the folks supposedly doing diligence on Enron. This is not new. People lie, fib and prevaricate. The fact the machines trained on our actions do the same thing should not come as a shock. If anything it strikes me as the uncanny valley of truthiness.
To me, this is the same as the "loyalty cards" that provide "discounts" in U.S. grocery chains like Kroger's & Ralph's. They've already decided to take your money with higher prices, and dole out small discounts for people who want to play their games.
As long as I have a choice, I will avoid companies that play such games.
According to the story of JC Penney, people like their discounts. When the company tried a "fair and square" pricing strategy, it was a huge failure and they got back to the usual way.
Well, the customers didn't like it, but the business continued to fail after changing back. Stock price declined, stores were closed, and eventually the company declared bankruptcy.
It may have been one of those "customers wanted the faster horse" situations where the business tried to build a faster horse.
This doesn't sound logical to me. I mean, suppose proponents win once. Stupid protections get enacted. But... can't opponents also get bills proposed, and passed?
I think it's logical because the power to get bills proposed is asymmetric. Take my original comment and replace "proponents" -> "politicians" and "opponents" -> "regular people." Regular people do not have the ability to get bills proposed. So, while the proponents (politicians) can propose the bill over and over until it passes, the opponents (regular people) cannot do the same. They can only constantly threaten to vote out particular politicians.
Yeah, I had the same thought. $169?! I get that it's specialty geekware, but with enough popularity that I would have guessed the price would be in line with the Arduino. Like, $50?
Main microcontroller is $6--that's 10%. NFC micro is going to be a dollar or two.
Case. PCBs. Display. Connectors. Voltage regulators. Crystals. Inductors. Speaker. You don't need very many of these to be a chunk of a dollar in order to hit $60 pretty quick.
Everybody disregards semiconductor costs when they are under $1. Cheap doesn't mean free though. BOM costs add up really quickly.
The necessity to control costs is one of the reasons why software people get so absolutely shocked and dismayed when they try to build hardware.
My brain immediately translated the headline into "One in five young Americans is a trollish little asshole."
It's well known that actual belief and poll answers do not align, but here in particular I feel like there's an impish desire to give the "wrong" answer, and that's what the poll is measuring, rather than simple misinformation.
I enjoy having trimmed nails as well, because having very long nails can make certain tasks difficult, so all these designs make me cringe a bit.
But... if you ever feel curious, explore DIY nails!
