Parents Sue School That Gave Bad Grade to Student Who Used AI to Complete Assignment
  • The kid used AI. The lawsuit doesn't argue they didn't and are being unfairly punished. They're arguing that there weren't any rules explicitly saying they couldn't use AI.

    Sounds like rich parents mad at the world cuz their kid fucked up. How can they ruin our perfect Billy's life over a decision he made, knowing full well it was wrong!!!! Now he might have to go to a less prestigious college... Boohoo!

  • Problems
  • The park that I live next to has 3 apple trees (I'm in USA). These are not grocery store apples, they're small and riddle with bugs, this isn't an orchard.

    When the apples are ripe, they'll get picked by kids and familes for a couple weeks. Nobody hordes them, nobody sees it as stealing, they're cool, and great for the community.

    I'm just sad that they're getting old and about to die. There used to be 5 just a couple years ago. I think they may have planted a couple new saplings, but I'm not an arborist.

    Fruit trees typically don't live as long as other trees, that's probably why parks and rec usually don't plant them. Having to replace an apple tree every 25 years as opposed to a Maple, Oak, Sycamore, Pine, Elm, Cedar every 100-200+ years, kinda an easy choice. With that said, I like it, and think it's worth. More parks should have a handful of them.

  • US Rep. Lauren Boebert wins Republican House primary after switching districts in Colorado
  • You're right! If the Republicans had firm control over the house, these shit heads wouldn't have the power they do. However, the current house has a razor thin margin, 213 Democrats and 222 Republicans, so losing 5 Republicans and they can't pass anything. This has given that small portion of ultra right wing reps (Boebert, MTG, Gaetz, etc.) a ton of power over the Republican Party.

  • US Rep. Lauren Boebert wins Republican House primary after switching districts in Colorado
  • Ok, as someone from Colorado, District 4 is super fucking rural... Think 23.3 people per square mile (District 1 is Denver, 4,678 people per square mile). These people are Trump people, and Boebert is a Trump bootlicker, this is not a surprise. She changed districts because she knew she couldn't win her old district.

    Colorado has 8 districts, so this is the result of 1/8 of the population, and easily the most red. This is not a representation of Colorado, Colorado is firmly blue and most of us fucking hate her guts.

  • Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?
  • Safe Cut Can Opener, traditional can openers should be extinct. It unrolls the original seal so there's no sharp edges. It also doesn't leave a lip, so none of the insides get stuck on the ledge. Then, if you don't use all the can, just plop the lid back on and throw it in the fridge.

  • Sen. Lindsey Graham Suggests Nuking Gaza, Calls Hiroshima ‘the Right Decision’
  • Why is it ok for America to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end their existential threat war, why was it ok for us to do that? I thought it was ok. So Israel, do whatever you have to do to survive as a Jewish state.

    The journalist didn't even mention nuclear bombs, Senator Graham brought it up themselves and then suggested it would be 'ok' to nuke Gaza if it ends the conflict. Yeah, the article is shit, it's The Daily Beast... watch the actual interview.

  • College professors are going back to paper exams and handwritten essays to fight students using ChatGPT
  • There are some universities looking at AI from this perspective, finding ways to teach proper usage of AI. Then building testing methods around the knowledge of students using it.

    Your point on checking for accuracy is on point. AI doesn't always puke out good information, and ensuring students don't just blindly believe it NEEDS to be taught. Otherwise wise you end up being these guys... https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-chatgpt-courts-e15023d7e6fdf4f099aa122437dbb59b
