In today’s job market, it’s pretty understandable to help your kids find a job. It’s pathetic once they actually get hired.

For parents of Gen-Z, "What began as occasional ride-along to a job interview is now full-on career 'co-piloting'. More parents are calling up hiring managers, applying for jobs on adult child’s behalf, showing up on Zooms to help navigate conversations." wsj.com/lifestyle/care…

@jxnlco Anyone who wants to learn things should be reading. Educational YouTube is a compromise.

you watch youtube videos instead of reaching source books from the library that were hand written by a monk

People defending Hank Green for using ChatGPT for research is astounding. Sure it "just aggregated links" but you do know that the sources you gather drastically change your research right? He didn't automate a menial task, the act of finding your sources is creatively necessary.

@disconcision It’s strange how the anti AI people blame it for slop on the internet, as if slip wasn’t ubiquitous in 2022.

feels like a good chunk of llm antipathy is a kind of retrograde futureshock, a sudden catching up with the 20th century, previously unevenly distributed. the idea that photos ~ represent reality, databases/encyclopedias/google are neutrally selected; rude delayed awakening

Lorelei@Normalssbbbx

@ant_ssb Because you choose what you read, not an AI. If you ask ChatGPT to find you a list of sources and it gives you 5, IT picked out those 5 for you to read. But if you go to a database you choose what you look into

@cairoasmith How many weird, novel ideas are thought up by normal people?

English

Cairo Smith@cairoasmith·1d

Whatever weird position gets really trendy in like a hundred years, they're gonna look back at a guy from now who believed it and be like, wow, he was so ahead of his time. Like, was he? Or was he just a weird guy?

There are actual legitimate criticisms of AI but the overwhelming majority of "criticisms" I read are void of any sort of substance.

@bisectionalx @ProleOtter This article claims that there is a lawsuit in canton Mississippi related to its data center. Its link makes no such claim and there is nothing on the internet about it. They made it up and you were gullible enough to believe it.

Why did people latch on to the dumbest possible arguments against AI?

Dexerto@Dexerto

YouTuber Hank Green has paused uploading on multiple channels after admitting he relies "too heavily" on AI "I need to come to terms with the fact that the level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs ... is not healthy for me or good for the world"

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·1d

@bisectionalx @ProleOtter Can you show me one source for the idea that data centers poison our water?

English

CullTheRich@bisectionalx·2d

@Bfish94 @ProleOtter yeah… no buddy… did the ai tell you that?🫠

English

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·1d

@bisectionalx @ProleOtter I read it from articles debunking that claim. Meanwhile, you are incapable of reading anything longer than a tweet.

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·2d

@bisectionalx @ProleOtter Any source from someone who even remotely knows what they’re talking about will tell you it’s misinformation.

What sucks the most about the economy isn’t anything objective, it’s the ongoing feeling since 2008 that everything is fragile and could fall apart without warning.

English

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·3d

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB Whatever works, works. I’m just not fundamentally opposed to making your kid eat their vegetables.

English

Nick@drinkindrano·3d

@Bfish94 @YTrader69 @yacineMTB You put one healthy side food you know they like on the plate. Whatever they eat is on them, and the kitchen is closed when dinner is over. Why do you want to force feed children when there are better options?

English

kache@yacineMTB·3d

It's funny when people warn me about my kid refusing to eat his dinner after he grows up. What do you mean? Hell starve. He has to eat

taoki@justalexoki

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB And if those don’t work, then you force feed them. It’s a time tested thing that has worked but people decided it was too mean and stopped.

English

Nick@drinkindrano·3d

@Bfish94 @YTrader69 @yacineMTB You’re missing my point and getting stuck in a false dichotomy. I never suggested you should cave to boundary pushing toddlers or else they’ll starve. What I’m saying is there is a better way to go about it than force feeding them.

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB Oh please. You take away their access to Dino nuggets and see how long it takes them to start eating.

English

Nick@drinkindrano·3d

@Bfish94 @YTrader69 @yacineMTB I think you’re confused. ARFID is a clinical eating disorder where kids will literally gag, vomit, or suffer severe malnutrition rather than eat trigger foods. You think this is caused by soft parenting?

English

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·3d

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB Yes because the kid grows up only eating Dino nuggets since the parents don’t have a backbone and then they become an adult and never eat anything else.

English

Nick@drinkindrano·3d

@Bfish94 @YTrader69 @yacineMTB Wrong about what, exactly? Are you saying parents choosing not to force feed kids is causing ARFID?

English

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·3d

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB There are more people with “ARFID” than ever and also parents are less likely than ever to force kids to eat so you are just empirically wrong.

This is a matter of basic pediatrics, nothing to do with “therapy culture” culture war drivel. Picky eating is usually just that, the problem is how to handle it. You can “make them eat” by choosing what/when/where food is served. Let them choose which things to eat off the plate and how much. Using pressure to force them makes everything worse, including the pickiness.

English

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·3d

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB This“food trauma” didn’t exist until the last couple decades. Before, parents made kids eat their food and they turned out fine. It’s only with therapy culture that people “discovered” that picky eating was something more.

It sounds ridiculous because “traumatizing” has a very strong negative connotation, but it is true! Using my wife as an example, there are a couple of foods she cannot eat without getting sick because she was forced to eat them as a child. When I was growing up, I was forced to “clean my plate” because “there are starving children in Africa”. This led to problems with overeating, because I was trained to ignore my hunger cues. There are plenty of good ways to encourage eating healthy and trying new things, but telling a toddler “eat or starve” is not one of them.

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB The idea that making your kids eat peas is traumatizing is ridiculous

@Bfish94 @YTrader69 @yacineMTB Yes, there are multiple ways for children to develop an unhealthy relationship with food

English

Brandon Fishback@Bfish94·3d

@drinkindrano @YTrader69 @yacineMTB An unhealthy relationship with food is when your toddler that only eats Dino nuggets becomes an adult that only eats Dino nuggets.

English

Nick@drinkindrano·3d

@YTrader69 @yacineMTB Letting your child go hungry by choice without intervening to the point where they hit a biological wall is not a good idea. It can lead to EDs or an unhealthy relationship with food. You need to be gentle, but firm, here.
