You overestimate the number of native English speakers here, and underestimate the difficulty of decoding tone from short written text.

Grisly, but I’m against restrictions on releasing what should be public information. Even if they came from the 1990s. These knee-jerk reactions, creating special case rules, really seem like a negative to me. Just wait for a ban on posting

Meta: title is inaccurate, contradicted by sources. Possibly LLM summarizer confused Algerian solo hacker with the group cited in reference 1. Article is written by AI. Is this grounds for flagging?

A single parent, definitely. A group of parents? I’m more hoepeful. (In my country,) There are many levels of government between the individual and the nation. Sometimes that is a curse. But sometimes change needs to start locally. This is

This is bizarre to me on so many fronts. 1: When was the last time you worked on a project where you thought the average IQ was 140? I don’t even think I have worked on a project where the maximum IQ was 140. 2: Who thinks the IQ of peopl

The fact that the US is a net exporter is irrelevant to the impact of much higher oil and gas prices across the economy. Also, supply chain shortages will continue to impact us - they are not even beginning to reach our shores.

I hate to say it, but this is correct. Who in the world would have the expertise to operate one of these? In a “low resource” high school? The problem isn’t (just) having the equipment. There are so few teachers with enough knowledge to eng

You seem to have a very bright line between the acceptable behavior for “no money involved” and “money involved”. For me, it’s more subtle than that. Everybody (“almost all software”) has exploitable bugs. Are you a fool for not finding the

You and the parent are dismissing an actual customer who really used the “AI” successfully. I don’t want to believe LLMs are the future of shopping either, but it’s wrong to dismiss actual successful users with hot air.

Is leaving many many typos in your posts a way of proving it was written by a human? I guess so. I support the author’s stance, but the extra decoding required to read the post was not expected.
