Mike Judge's talent is making things appear exaggerated that actually aren't. Think Silicon Valley, Idiocracy, Office Space. All appear comically inflated at first viewing, but are in fact not.
It’s both really funny and sad in a way that Beavis and Butthead met their dads and neither of them realized it

GPT 5 release confirms.
I believe the neural net models (a better term than AI by the way) have reached "tradeoff space". You can make a given model better at something but that makes it much worse at a bunch of other things.

Sometimes with young kids you feel like you wish you had some time to yourself. Then you get it and after 3-4 hours you're good. Ready to be with the kids again! . Would never trade kids for anything.

These guys are just openly arguing that illegals should be counted the same as citizens when it comes to political representation. That's insane and reprehensible.
President Trump cannot unilaterally order a new census or exclude people to rig the Electoral College. The Constitution is clear: every person counts. This is a brazen power grab to manipulate representation and undermine our democracy.

Everyone says "AI Tutor" but no one is quite sure what that really is. With @sage_teacher, we are going in a different direction: an AI Teacher. The job of a teacher is clear. It is to teach. There are layers and subtleties to teaching, to be sure, but it avoids a lot of the.
ALPHA SCHOOL DOES NOT USE AN "AI TUTOR". frankly it bothers me that it's referred to as such in the marketing materials. we use a variety of ai (and non-ai) algorithms to generate individual courses for each student in real time.

Old stone mason from the parish stopped by to drop off this dig bar. "Thanks! I've actually got one, so you can. ". "Use this one". "Aye". I'm using it to pop rocks out of the ground and out of the brook for a stone-wall-to-be.

A perfect garden ought to have a few weeds, here and there. A garden without weeds is a garden without spontaneity.

Keeping a little veggie garden, without pretending you're going to subsist on it, is good for the soul. It's "touching grass" stretched across time.

Onions were small this year. Not enough weeding, and weeding made more difficult than it should be due to overly tight spacing. However, plentiful. Should last us a good while. Certainly not the whole year, but a chunk of it.

Anyone else use cheap carabiners with wire fence all over the place for makeshift gates and such?

It's a curious and, perhaps, telling fact that what we experience as meaningful is inextricably linked to mystery.

Whenever you wish something were different in your life remember this:. You have almost certainly offended God more than you've honored Him. Everything you have and have experienced, is more than you've earned. Deo Gratias.

A religious perspective makes the AI situation much clearer:. AI is a tool that is extremely ergonomic for human interfacing into abstract patterns. It does not have a soul. It will never have a soul. Its "intelligence" will always be artificial.
