Kids ARE using AI and they will continue to do so. Do what happened to math classes when calculators came out. Increase the breadth and amount of problems they are given to solve.
Or do what my schools did: ban them in the classroom and give plenty of pop quizzes. If you can't do the work on your own successfully in class with nothing but your pencil, paper, and brain, you fail. Period. Today's entitled mommies will scream, but fuck 'em.
Well, large trucks have 1.3-1.4 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles, vs 1.5-1.6 for passenger cars, so... better than everything else on the road?
Also, maybe if we are a little better at stopping illegal and illiterate drivers that might improve even more.
Is anyone MAKING you work there?
Fucking walk away. Jesus, why is this hard?
Boss: "Do this thing I want"
Employee: "No"
Boss "We will fire you"
Employee "OK"
No, what's happening here I suspect is that people are lured into a job that's too good to be true.
If that's the case, and you were hired under a set of understandings and they CHANGE the understandings midstream, then you have an actionable claim. Companies can't change the rules without offering fair compensation.
JC Penney isn't doing great these days. Sears would not be much better off. Both of these lost their middle-class customers to other stores and online shopping and their costs are much too high to service low-income customers.
Sears had a different audience than JCPenny. Sears was a beloved tool retailer with a cult following and well regarded for their appliances. JCPenny was a place for cheap clothes that are higher quality than WalMart. To me, that's like comparing In & Out to McDonald's.
I don't know what era you grew up in, but when I was a child, Sears and Pennys were direct competitors. Sears just had a better catalog and automotive section. People going to malls would go to both to see who had the better deal on competing items. Especially for clothing. Montgomery Ward was a competitor, but they were the Chrysler to Sears/Penney's GM and Ford, the third wheel that no one went to first.
Sears did not "fail", they were willfully destroyed by a vulture capitalist.
Sears fate was sealed the moment Amazon was created. The "vulture capitalist" just squeezed what value he could from the dying remains. With their catalogue business, and being "America's general store", they were in the perfect position to move from paper catalog to Internet based ordering. They adapted too late. Malls and physical department stores are never coming back at a level necessary for a Sears to thrive. It's Amazon and everyone else now.
When 3I Atlas stops and scans easily-accessible data from our rudimentary systems, I'm not sure whether this will scare them away, or cause them to flag us for ASAP removal by the Galactic Authorities.
Why shouldn't American companies ship to vendors like that? What responsibility do they have to 'ensure' their vendors are dealing with it responsibly?
Should they also tell them not to run with scissors or swim after eating?
"Millions of tons of discarded electronics from the United States are being shipped overseas"
Let's be clear: nobody is simply loading up containers with e-waste and blind-shipping them into "Asia" as if unto the void.
1) Someone has e-waste that needs to be disposed.
2) It costs to dispose in the US, so some vendor in Asia is offering to dispose for less than (US costs MINUS shipping costs which are quite low westbound APAC). Or they're even offering to buy it.
3) profit
Blaming - as I think is implied - US vendors for shipping their shit to Asia is like blaming narco-trafficers for 'forcing' their product into the US. The problem here is the PULL not any hypothesized push.
In my experience about fields I know quite well, human reporters and news agencies get it all or partially wrong probably 80% of the time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending AI in the slightest, just that in 2025 pretty much all news sources are mostly shit.

The Kellogg-Briand Pact was an agreement to outlaw war signed on August 27, 1928.
Mabye they could get Francis Fukuyama to draft the document? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_History_and_the_Last_Man)
I doubt this has anything to do with being green, except insofar as it "looks" greener.
More likely this allows them to better gather craptons of model data for their eventually-inevitable self-driving fleet.
BOT account.
I'm trying to understand the narrative here.
I understood from many, many Slashdot posts that Elon Musk and Donald Trump were partners in crime and that SpaceX was Elon's tool for milking the US govt for no-bid contracts. How can NASA open this up to other vendors, doesn't that hurt SpaceX? What's the value of a sinecure if it's so easily ignored?
Snark aside, I welcome competition on this; a thriving PRIVATE space industry in the US will be the only thing that can compete with the power of a dedicated Chinese state (sclerotic risk-averse NASA can't really be relied upon to do so anymore). I do find it rather ironic that the article says SpaceX delays are threatening Artemis, given, well....everything ELSE Artemis-related has been pretty much a mess.

It's funny that's what you read there. Very...insightful. About you, not about the subject.
As we have free public education in this country, and at least in MN there are ample programs to allow low income people to get at least 2yr and many 4yr degrees for basically nothing (as well as whole government offices at the city, county, and state levels with staff to help the un- and underemployed apply for and secure these opportunities) there's nearly no reason these people can't improve their opportunities.
(As much as I think the system is bullshit, a college degree remains universally helpful in landing a decent job.)
