breezybottom··on Tutoring company tells parents to save their money and 'use AI instead'
Almost no one is, so I don't get your point.

Driving your kids to sports is bad now? Seems like there's a new moral panic every week.
breezybottom··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
I literally just said that it's not a crime in several states if the parents do it.
breezybottom··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
Who is "America"? California still has no minimum age. Most Republicans still oppose age limits.

Because society has an interest in preventing girls from being sex trafficked by their parents.
breezybottom··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
Yep. Last time this happened, during the Afghanistan withdrawal, no one was even fired.

Clearly Americans are ok with it, because that's how they vote. West Virginia didn't raise the age of marriage to 16 until 2023, after years of staunch Republican opposition.
breezybottom··on Claude Opus 5.5
Lmao each one gets worse as the effort increases.
breezybottom··on Claude Opus 5.5
"Where Opus 5.5’s advantage is very clear is efficiency."

Not efficiency in writing, clearly.

breezybottom··on I don't want to read what you didn't write
AI detectors are useless.
breezybottom··on Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) – complete byte-identical decompilation to C/C++
Wait, you're saying that writing wasn't invented by a guy with an ibis head?
breezybottom··on Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) – complete byte-identical decompilation to C/C++
No they didn't.
breezybottom··on English: A vs. An
I don't think the context is self evident at all. It's very important to know whose pocket he picked.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Your personal experience means nothing.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
That doesn't even make sense. If you volunteered, then you did find someone. Yourself.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
As if we needed any more proof that "generations" are nonsense, now people claim to have omniscience regarding their generational cohorts.
breezybottom··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
You say the voice is clearly yours, but that's an illusion. I can recognize your comment as AI written.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Quantify this. What constitutes a resurgence, or a slow rise?
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
"I find it ironic that back then we had a lot of trouble finding people who were willing to design posters and promo media on print."

I don't see the word free here. Of course you'd have trouble finding people to do anything for free.

How do you quantify that as a trend? Prices change all the time. How many people actually bought it?

The stuff about "generations" and trend cycles is nonsense.

breezybottom··on If math is more than proof, we need to better celebrate the rest of it
Evening the playing field would mean those R1 professors now teach five classes a semester for 50k a year instead of doing research.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
No, it hasn't. You're confusing digital cameras with Polaroids.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Same mentality as people who voted for Trump. No wonder he's become such an AI booster.
breezybottom··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Back when? The 1970s? I don't believe that you couldn't find poster making services in the last 10-20 years.
breezybottom··on Economic policy for AGI

Wrong.

breezybottom··on Economic policy for AGI
It would be defensible if it worked that way. Instead they work backwards: define the groups for marketing purposes, and then try to identify the similarities.
breezybottom··on Economic policy for AGI
So now it only refers to Americans? The arbitrary goal post shifting continues.
breezybottom··on Economic policy for AGI
No it doesn't. I have little in common with a Japanese rice farmer born in the same year.
breezybottom··on Economic policy for AGI
It's the same, you're just substituting years for months.
breezybottom··on Economic policy for AGI
No, it doesn't. The baby boomers represented an actual demographic change, that's why they're tracked by the Census Bureau. Everything since then is marketing and astrology.
