As someone in the classrooms (student teaching in fifth grade in Illinois), I don’t disagree that the tech provides this. However, I also see how it benefits the students with workflow and access to a diverse form on texts which is needed for a multitude of diverse learners whether they are multilingual, have a disability of some kind, are special education, or have IEPs or 504s.

The access to parents at home with instant ability to the same videos or resources as well as translation tools can mean more parental help for the kids.

What I see as the problem is that the way we measure students and their cognitive knowledge/capabilities hasn’t changed with how we teach. Everything is to the test and set up without any national standards. I see kids able to make some amazing inferences and see patterns with small prompting and the ability to deep think is there even with tech being a huge part of the classroom.

That’s exactly my thought as well. We will likely be seeing an uptick in autoimmune diseases because of the hyperactive response for everything.

Ok, Shaggy

Well, that might change after this though.

Bonus points if God gifted it to you through the striations of the burn marks in your toast.

She’s (the relative) lucky she can do that. Some districts or schools have homework policies. As I am finishing up my master’s for elementary education, if I can get away with NOT assigning homework then that’s what I will do. They are kids and need their mental breaks as well. There’s research that shows homework doesn’t correlate to better learning or growth. It’s just busy work and play is really good for kids’ minds.

If anything, I will encourage them to read and tell me what cool thing(s) they are reading about the next morning!

For someone that used discord only for video chat and the chat sidebar for D&D since we have players in person and a couple in other states, what would you all recommend?

Should we just switch to Zoom or something?

This is what I and others I know use it for as well. Virtual dnd for one or two while the rest of us are in person.

I’ve missed it too. What the fuck is it even a reference to?

That’s part of the Pacific.

Yes, you’re correct. Math is difficult and I forgot to add the 100% on top of the original number. Thank you!

Ok, but what are the counts for uninstalls generally? 150% sounds like a lot, but if it’s only a thousand uninstalls a week then it’s only jumped to 1,500 uninstalls. When there are millions of users, that’s…not very much.

I’m not arguing against progress. I’m just saying they are making it sound like this big exodus when it might be minimal in reality.

Thirded

I am a 4x year old father that voted for Kamala, and my 11 year old son does a lot for various charities without me asking him too. He’s been choosing a charity to help children, LGBTQ, immigrants/refugees, etc for the past few years by selling lemonade during the summer with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity. I am involved with groups dedicated to opposing ICE and authoritarian groups in the USA.

I may be White and male, but not all of us are monsters or want this.

I’m admittedly ignorant of all of this, but I’ll post my thoughts anyway:

If the AI is trained on their voice and that AI is available to other studios (like leasing or buying it from the original company), the one time payment for that actor’s work is a very very shit deal. They’re out of a job in multiple places or for multiple works now since it can be reused for many things.

I doubt that the contract says it’s only used for that one singular project. Companies are sneaky. However, I have not read said contracts so it’s a magical guess on my part.

Because I’m NOT comparing it. You need some serious reading comprehension practice. You’re all riled up for the entirely wrong fucking point that I have repeatedly said I am not arguing.

Good gravy.

No. I’m really not trying to equate that at all. Using “I’m indigenous” as an excuse to imply that you’re beyond criticism is bullshit. Everyone can be criticized. Everyone has skeletons.

You’re trying to pull words out of nothing. All I was responding to was the whole “ Im indigenous so 🤷‍♂️” comment.

Are you suggesting that indigenous peoples have never done any of what I said above?

I’m not trying to guilt you into sympathizing with colonization. I’m trying to get you to understand that, “I’m indigenous, so only bad things ever happened to people like me because of colonization” is a naive idea to have.

Are you saying that indigenous people never warred with others/neighbors and wiped out other tribes? Never raped, never put their enemies into slavery or sold them to other indigenous, or never tortured those they were at war with?

Because, to me, it sounds like you’re making that case with your comment and that is a bullshit case to be made. Humans are historically awful.

Mmm, maybe. Affects also works as it means to influence. It’s subtle and context matters, but if AI is still changing things with their job then affects is the verb you want. If AI has changed their job and nothing further is happening then effect is the noun you want.
