Holy shit, someone's getting fired at the CBO! How dare they put out honest data.

I'm over 50 and every night somewhere between 8:30 and 9:30 I jump online and play 1 or 2 hours of strategy games with my friends. I don't watch TV. I don't watch sports. This is my evening entertainment.

I have three kids who are all teenagers now and I've basically done this throughout my adult life. This has been a way for me to keep my friend group together. I have about six friends who do this with me and they are from a variety of different places, some as far back as junior high and high school. I think it's an extremely healthy way for a bunch of nerds to have a social group.

This is the real take away from all this. xAI is trying hard to keep up with the big-boys and has to pay a shit ton of money just to be in the game. xAI's revenue will be in the deep red for a long time at this rate.

"digging thru trash and bunch of obscure websites for info, using critical thinking to filter and refine your results"

You're highlighting a barrier to learning that in and of itself has no value. It's like arguing that kids today should learn cursive because you had to and it exercises the brain! Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because you did something one way that it's the best way. The goal is to learn and find solutions to problems. Whatever tool allows you to get there the easiest is the best one.

Learning through textbooks and one way absorption of information is not an efficient way to learn. Having the ability to ask questions and challenge a teacher (in this case the AI), is a far superior way to learn IMHO.

The thing is... AI is making me smarter! I use AI as a learning tool. The absolute best thing about AI is the ability to follow up questions with additional questions and get a better understanding of a subject. I use it to ask about technical topics and flush out a better understanding that I ever got from just a text book. I have seem some instances of hallucinating in the past, but with the current generation of AI I've had very good results and consider it an excellent tool for learning.

For reference I'm an engineer with over 25 years of experience and I am considered an expert in my field.

Except it's their kids who are impacted are the ones we feel bad for, not them. (and I know their own kids could be considered as part of a Darwin award through a strict interpretation, but I'd rather not.)

They could make a killing off making videos on YouTube or something like Khan Academy. Just never show him from below the waist.....

24 hours he said. He could end the war in 24 hours. All he has to do is talk tough and Putin would bow to his flabby pasty white biceps! Anyone who doesn't recognize this as 100% pure bullshit should pull their head out of Trump's fat ass and have their it examined.

So ... the gun gives him a sense of power when he gets depressed and is feeling powerless with the direction things are going in his life?

So what if instead of this being about a cartoon this was someone getting really angry at their wife so they have to go to their office and have to "grip a gun really tight for a few minutes until they calm down"? Or maybe getting angry at their boss... or their neighbor... or the government? That's pretty disturbing.

I never said she was a paragon of integrity... but where she was picking up spare change left on the counter, Trump is robbing the register and looting the pension fund all at the same time. They are not the same.

Yeah, that so quaint! 25M. LOL. Trump's net worth has increased by 4 BILLION since he took office THIS TIME. Fucking 25M over 10 years... "Those are rookie numbers!" No, not rookie numbers, flat out hardly a drop in the bucket. Sooo quaint. I'm sure her corruption is exactly the same as Trump's! (Can you really type that without busting out laughing?)
