It just been getting under my skin that famous "marxists" doing tea leaves polisci reading, like i'm sure there are people like jason hockel engaging with input output tables, but zizek being the most famous is just dire. same for french dipshits of the 60s

the person being criticized due to "inventing the guy to be mad at". but tbh, i don't think this text needed marxism at all, from both sides. you can make same arguments as a lib arguing with conservative.

alleged reactionary socialism with its elites talks about elites degradation/moral debasement as a problem. their existence is a problem, why should marxists care what they think, their function is to apply capital for maximum return. Them doing some brownian exploratory motion of idea space is whatever, sometimes might be good, sometimes might be shit.

inventing the guy to be mad at and citing zero economic numbers, this is the essence of marxists engaged in cultural thinking. avoid at all costs

gotta maybe bring more awareness into how it works ("probabilistic next word predictor") to teachers (?), i doubt teachers are that deep into it, and prolly see it as a magic box. it obviously can make some stuff easier, like email bullshit (fairly unnatural language exercise to remove legal/personal liabilities) and some coding

feel like future of sinking ships is small subs/tor🅱edos, when some smartypants figures out underwater communications or starlink analogues won't be geofenced.

Water is an ideal medium to deliver couple of tons of tnt, and slow speed and small size breaks a lot of echolocation tech, launches are undetectable, energy requirements - very small.

i wonder how big of an underwater explosion can sink small ship via density reduction soviet-hmm

what i meant is this (stem is more my experience, so i go there): typical approach is "i explain stuff, demonstrate how explained stuff applies to an example, now do 10 examples to understand how it works, now do 1 example in controlled environment (test/exam), congratulation you can now do stuff" what ai/cheating in general can do is: simulate you doing 10 examples of stuff, and then do 1 example in a live test, and according to metrics "you can now do stuff".

If you can't force check that student done their homework, then they have to do it in class. it requires rather serious plan change, but i guess you can't do that without education bigwigs interfering?

i would talk individually to people, starting from "should people be able to read, if text recognition can read for them on their phone shrug-outta-hecks ", you bullshitting around with people on same (professional) level doesn't have same repercussions as talking back to your boss, win hearts and minds

And solution to ai stuff in education is always obvious, oral/written exams instead of tests, just probably no time (budget) for teachers to do it.

dunno, feel like structural level issues (unresponsiveness of lower level cadres to dismal thinking at the top and no feedback to the top) has more to do with disintegration of culture in ussr, than the culture being primal force.

 

linky fixed (although if anyone can check and it's untrue i will delete it)

The cargo flight by Challenge Airlines Israel is scheduled to depart from JFK at 2 p.m. on Saturday and land in Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Sunday, according to flight information. The manufacturer of the materials is not known, but the cargo’s sender is listed as deriving from a Los Angeles ZIP code. While other weapons-related shipments have been sent from JFK to Israel, Saturday’s cargo flight is the first confirmed shipment of nitrocellulose and the largest single shipment of explosives to pass through New York City’s busiest airport, said journalist and lawyer Roman Shortall, co-founder of The Ditch.

 

As we reported on Monday, a bill called the GENIUS Act would set up a relatively weak regulatory framework for stablecoins, digital assets pegged to the U.S. dollar and used mostly to facilitate crypto trading. It was almost destined for success, as a significant number of crypto-friendly Democrats, boosted by campaign contributions from the industry, were all set to sign on. But then reports about Trump’s family organization launching a stablecoin, and the United Arab Emirates using it in a $2 billion deal to purchase the digital currency exchange Binance started bubbling up. Suddenly, it seemed like terrible politics for Democrats to effectively rubber-stamp Trump’s crypto corruption.

Late on Wednesday, Democrats took a deal that will give them a standalone vote on the End Crypto Corruption Act, as an amendment to the GENIUS Act. When that fails—and it will fail, because Republicans in the majority are not going to vote to force a divestiture of their president’s crypto empire—they will proceed to a vote on the GENIUS Act.

This gives Democrats on the fence the ability to say that they tried everything they could to stop Trump corruption. But it’s completely untrue. Sen. Merkley, who I’m sure is sincere in his effort and who wasn’t part of this deal, released a statement on Wednesday saying, “This is the right moment to have anti-corruption provisions included in the GENIUS Act.” He’s right: If Democrats were serious about ending crypto corruption, they could have made those provisions a condition of their votes on the GENIUS Act. Instead they got a worthless amendment and gave away their leverage.

“Schumer 101,” said one source with knowledge of the process.
