I can't see any point to this other than providing LinkedIn ai training data.

It IS training data. They will refine the AI slop until less and less people identify it. The fooled-ya rate will go through the roof then.

I *want* ai to keep clearly sounding like fucking ai (although, being honest, I can't think of a single post on LinkedIn that didn't sound like it was written by a robot, ever).

Well, a sarcastic world full of old wise meatsack trolls could always become *cough* AI needs to eat a bag of madagascar dicks trainers to help reinforce the true value of it..

There are two types of students using AI.

One is a highly motivated intelligent student who is using AI to check and verify their work, and potentially challenge themselves with new problems if they wish to extend their learning session. That student, would likely score the same on homework and exams in 2026 as they did in 1986.

The other type of student, knows how to cut and paste homework into AI to get an answer. And the exam scores prove how many more of them there are. So do HR turnover rates for Gen Control-CV.

It warms our fiscal future knowing that AI replacing grown-ass experienced adult workers at least reads, writes and girl maths at a fourth grade level. Which is largely irrelevant for the teacher also using AI to grade homework, because No AI Left Behind.

(Yes. That's sarcasm. Not sure it's a race to the bottom anymore when "bottom" will soon be redefined to mean you're some kind of racist. 1984 was supposed to be a warning. Society doubled-down on Idiocracy instead.)

and test in-person. Your electronic devices go in a locker before entering the test area (many industries have this requirement).

And for the professional wanting to become the expert in their field, do you give the same advice?

A master doesn't get to 10,000 hours with only exams.

No. We shouldn't get rid of practice. We should remember the purpose of homework instead, because the exam results are proving it.

Comment Re: The climate is going extreme (Score 2) 46

Some people actually want the climate to heat up, for their personal comfort. I've also seen arguments that increased CO2 helps plants grow. People are amazingly good at rationalizing whatever behavior they like, including attempts to use its negative consequences as justification.

A crushing lack of empathy, is the most dangerous behavioral trait that has ever emerged from a new generation of humans.

A young single never-married childless person, cannot grasp the love a mother or father has for a child. I get that lack of empathy based on lack of life experience. Seen it plenty of times. But a good person can still have a basic level of empathy.

GenMeMeMe can be found to be quite different. Zero sympathy. Zero empathy. I can’t even say remorse or regret has increased as a result of bad outcomes. Which is sadly indicative of psychopathic behavior.

There are different ways of measuring El Niños..

..and I’m certain we chose the one that won’t give us THE most alarming model that likely qualifies as an outlier in any other equation, in order to sell more hypes, clicks, and insurance premiums that got auto-adjusted based on hypes and clicks, right?

Right?

I’m not denying a hotter summer. Or the potential for extreme weather. I’m questioning the hype and bullshit cheerleading squad in every marketing department that gets paid in clicks now. The weather industry is one of those unique industries where we call people who are only right 50% of the time “experts”.

Keep that in mind and temper your fears with a results-based look at the onslaught of OMGWTF world-ending predictions from the weather warriors over the last five years. You’ll find an imaginary death toll greater than every Cold War scenario that never happened.

LinkedIn is 100% slip, whether or not "AI" was involved. I spent about a year trolling there. I'm quite confident in my percentage estimate.

If someone was asked 15 years ago what LinkedIn exists for, they would likely tell you it’s a site where you can store your digital resume and network with people you know and trust, who also know you. Essentially your digital references.

Today LinkedIn only leaves a Bob asking ”What would you say you do here?”

Do you think American taxpayers ever felt violated when a US President elected an Open Border Czar allowed millions of immigrants to pour over a “border” for four years..as they’re stopped and questioned for the “crime” of wanting to enter their own fucking country properly and legally with their Rights intact?

No. Protestors should not be locked up for life. But I can think of a few Democrat voters who should recognize the concept of Cause and Effect.

The exemption and illegalities surrounding the 4th Amendment and our border, have existed since the 19th Century. So drop the nonsense about “this” administration. Citizen voters should have addressed this problem over a century ago. Plenty of citizens were ironically being stopped and questioned while an Open Border Czar reigned stu-preme.

And how exactly do you think your retort comes across to the average American citizen who watched a US President legally elect an Open Border Czar who ensured the American southern border wasn’t one for damn near four years?

Do you think that whole idea of bending over the citizen taxpayer at the border and fucking them with an unlubed copy of the 4th Amendment on 30-grit sandpaper is one of those lessons they only teach at Learing centers?

..The issue here, is that he intentionally destroyed the data when it as in the hands of a government agent, which you only do if there is some reason to destroy it. If you back up and wipe a device beforehand, that's just sensible data hygiene. If you wipe the device in the hands of law enforcement..

I don’t wish ill will upon anyone crossing the American zone of UnConstitutional Wrongs, but I DO hope you see how many holes your theoretical protection has here.

IF you’re ever stopped and questioned at the border, you would be handing your pre-wiped and highly hygienic device to law enforcement. Which you only did because you DID find a reason to destroy your information (albeit temporarily) before your “criminal” data could be “discovered” at the border. They consider their unconstitutional behavior necessary for national security and don’t like it when you claim otherwise.

All I can say is good luck with that tactic. When the other 99% of border crossers don’t take that measure, know your actions will be questioned for more than just hygiene. I wish I could say your behavior was more normalized.

Comment Re:Slippery Slope (Score 1) 209

I agree the current branches of government should pay close attention to the US Constitution, but in the case of border searches, the 4th Amendment exception was established long ago, not recently.

Voters should have paid more attention to violators of the Bill of Rights. Because violations without proper punishment was established long ago. Voters fucked up by not threatening to remove (by democratic process) every violator of the US Constitution long ago.

Voters still hold the power to remove and replace elected Representatives. Especially when they forgot what being a Representative means.

Citizens have a REAL problem with this when Bills of Rights for Thee and Not Me bullshit is being thrown in their face too. Watching someone like Fauci plead the 5th while you’re a “criminal” getting locked up at the border for the “crime” of recognizing your own inalienable (allegedly) Right, is a real punch to the fucking gut that should be answered at the voting booth.

Customs agents do not need probable cause or a warrant to initiate a routine seizure and basic search of your electronic devices at a U.S. port of entry. Almost any seizure while under the border search exception is basically considered justified. So if you delete your phone, burn your wallet, tear up your love letter to your EX, flush your drugs, etc. The border agents can view that as "Destruction or removal of property to prevent seizure"

Don't like it? Write your legislature to reverse the long-held ruling.

What exactly needs to be reversed when my elected Representatives need a fucking history lesson/job refresher regarding the Bill of Rights, specifically the 4th and 5th Amendments?

The American Citizen should be legislating that alright. By threatening to vote every motherfucker out of office who dares to forget THAT long-held rule over 200 years old.
