  • The information in your link is about school aged children, and it doesn’t say AI use automatically makes you dumber. It says:

    The relationship between AI use and student performance is complex How AI use relates to student performance is complex, varying with how students use it and what for. PISA data show that students who use AI for specific schoolwork tasks, such as summarising texts, drafting or conducting research, attain lower scores in science than students who do not use AI. In these scenarios, students who do not use AI outperform those who do, on average, by around 20 points – equivalent to being around one year of schooling ahead of their peers. However, weekly users of AI for general purposes have similar performance outcomes to non-users. Students who regularly use AI for general purposes, and have learning opportunities at school to develop AI literacy skills, tend to have slightly higher scores in science. However, these opportunities are more common among socio-economically advantaged students, risking a growing AI divide.

    So I’d conclude that kids shouldn’t be handed AI when they’re young. Not only that, they shouldn’t get to use it until they’re taught how.

    I have a young kid and I don’t know what to do. I’m leaning towards keeping them away from AI as long as possible in the hopes that they build a very strong knowledge and problem solving foundation. Then AI can hopefully multiply their abilities.

    And that brings me back to my original point. It will likely provide a competitive advantage to those that use it over those that don’t, but the size of that advantage depends on the abilities of the user.





  • I guess it’s fair to discount my Korea example, that was a mass resignation aimed at government admissions policy, not a union bargaining with an employer. However I still think their is a similar undercurrent and I still worry a physicians’ union would have more power than most other unions.

    My concern is what stops a physicians’ union from bargaining over things beyond improving their working conditions? As I mentioned, physicans in Korea were opposed to a policy that will likely be beneficial to their society and collectively acted in protest. That’s what makes police unions my pro-union exception. It’s not their pay, but contract terms covering discipline and internal investigations. If a Banner contract stayed on pay, panel size and staffing ratios, I have no problem with it, but what keeps those limits?

    Does anyone know what’s on their bargaining agenda?





  • Here’s what they actually ruled on from CNBC:

    • The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move forward for now with key parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in voting.
    • The unsigned order lifted a lower-court injunction covering 23 states and Washington, D.C. The court’s three liberal justices dissented.
    • A separate nationwide injunction still blocks the Postal Service from implementing its new mail-ballot procedures for the Nov. 3 elections.

    You can still vote by mail according to that last bullet point

    I think the tribalism, purity testing, and mod power tripping is far worse here than reddit. I was banned from memes.ml two days ago for pointing out it’s in bad taste to celebrate the deaths of American soliders, and I totally don’t support at all what Americans are doing in Iran or Palestine. After a couple back and forths I was banned for spam. I was responding to comments, explaining my position, not spamming. Then to top it off, I was banned from privacy.ml yesterday. I saw a user I was arguing with the previous day using an argument I taught them. I literally explained something to them in a DM, and they were using it correctly against someone else, and I was again banned for “spam.” A single silly “I’m proud of you” comment. Granted it was obvious that they clearly didn’t like me but still, you can’t get caught doing that and not expect me to say something. Very immature.

    What I find funny about it all is they’re banning someone who’s on their team. I’m on board with most of the stereotypical .ml ideology (I don’t think we’d get along OP), but some users, and especially those with power, have no tolerance for any dissent. I don’t even think I was dissenting, just saying the evil facist bootlicking troops probably aren’t as evil as they want them to be, so don’t cheer when they die. Is that really too much for some people?
