We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds.
We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers.
We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate.
The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best.
That's not education. That's sabotage.
The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying.
Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

@heywildrich I’m sure the early residents of German Village came to Ohio speaking English. Oh wait! Their kids learned the language in Columbus public schools. Are they your relatives? Just pull the plank up after you.

I live in the middle of Ohio and there are 80 languages spoken in the local school district. Part of the budget is now spent trying to teach foreigners basic English. That we pay for.
Americans understand how much of a multicultural clusterfuck we have going on here.

Ik zie volop kansen om met elkaar verder te bouwen aan vooruitgang voor iedereen in ons land. Want of je nou rechts bent of links, conservatief of progressief, we zitten allemaal in hetzelfde Team Nederland.

Hoi! Ik ben Cabaletta Dijkhof, kandidaat voor D66 Enschede op 18 maart. En ja ook nog eens vrouw. Dat maakt mijn beleidsvoorstellen automatisch 37% inclusiever, 12% empathischer en volledig klimaatneutraal gecertificeerd.
Ik geloof dat beter beleid begint met beter luisteren. Daarom ga ik in gesprek met inwoners: hoe maken we Enschede eerlijker, duidelijker en nóg inclusiever inclusief inclusie voor inclusie zelf.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

The EU is moving toward opening up the internal market for non-European truck drivers.
They are expected to be recruited mainly from Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Morocco, Tunisia and Kenya.
The European Commission is now planning to simplify procedures as well as establishing common rules to protect drivers from abuse and ensure fair working conditions for non-European drivers.
Until now, recruiting drivers from outside the Union has been the domain of private companies and individual Member States.
This process, often complex and time-consuming, varies from country to country.
The European Commission argues that a uniform legal frameworks will effectively combat the shortage of professional drivers in Europe by sourcing them from third countries.
At the request of the European Commission, the International Road Transport Union (IRU) has prepared a comprehensive report analyzing all aspects of employing drivers from outside Europe.
The report emphasizes the need to accelerate visa processes and the recognition of professional qualifications obtained outside the EU.
According to experts, only through such measures can Europe realistically fill around 500 000 vacancies in the EU’s transport sector.
One of the most important projects aimed at helping implement these assumptions is SDM4EU (Skilled Driver Mobility for Europe).
As part of SDM4EU, procedures are currently being developed to enable the legal and rapid employment of drivers in EU Member States.
Pilot projects are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026.

@TheAliceSmith Some are retarded, some are playing retarded.
Most of all it’s a cult that discourages and punishes critical thinking.

@Symphony_res Er is altijd een kans dat je iets slechts overkomt dus waarom niet die kans oneindig veel groter maken… linkse logica.

Geweldig: een zorgvuldig geselecteerde groep buurtbewoners die even komt uitleggen dat mega-opvang eigenlijk hartstikke gezellig is.
‘Ook zonder azc’s zijn er incidenten, zoals met fatbikes.’ Klopt en ook zonder dierentuin zijn er dieren, dus laten we vooral een safari naast je voortuin openen.
Maar geen zorgen: onveiligheid is vooral een gevoel. Vooral bij anderen.

@David_Fairchild Oh I'm no Sam Altman fanboy, but the energy use argument is a non-starter.
Sure, dancing, painting, you can make arguments all day about the joys of creation.
But commercial art/coding anything that's a means to an end is orders of magnitude more efficient via AI.
English

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.
That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?
The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

@David_Fairchild 100% certain he does indeed look at people like that except people from his own little tribe.

@noorlanderarjan Integendeel, het is precies wat te verwachten was van een landverrader.

Vergeet Koningsdag, Sinterklaas, Carnaval (zuiden), Bevrijdingsdag, Sint-Maarten, Oud & Nieuw (oliebollen & vuurwerk), Pinksteren (kermissen), Paasvuren (oost-NL).
Nee, Ramadan is tegenwoordig de feestmand van het jaar. 🤡😳
Nederlandse feesten kunnen blijkbaar linea recta bij het grofvuil tradities waar generaties mee opgroeiden, achteloos afgedankt. Wat een beschamende armoede van zelfrespect dat we dit laten gebeuren.
