round or oval wire-rimmed glasses are back in style. square plastic frames are now super millennial and cheugy. all the k-pop stars are wearing delicate 90s inspired styles

Just google "BTS glasses" and you'll see it's all stuff like this: We are solidly back in the 90s. All my students are wearing baggy sweatshirts, high waisted mom jeans, and wire rimmed glasses. They especially dislike skinny jeans and thick plastic nerd glasses as these are accoutrements of millennials.

Not particularly fun fact: if you look for glasses frames on Amazon and eBay, the wire aviator with clear lenses not unlike yours is now being sold as "Dahmer glasses," presumably because of the show that just came out. I hate it. I hate the idea that people watched it and thought "drat that guy looks good." I hate all media about serial killers.

I'm stoked about the current fashion because it means I can be in style wearing elliptical gold glasses like my professional idol, Dr. Henry Jones Jr., Ph.D

My favorite jeans at the time were a pair of pale wash Guess bootcuts. If only they hadn't eventually blown out in the crotch from overuse I could still rock them today

as part of a recent assignment i requested that students come up with a list of ten possible topic ideas with certain specific characteristics, as you do for college assignments. today in class i saw a student had typed the exact prompt into chatgpt and was reformatting the results slightly as he pasted them into his submission. i didn't even say anything because i truly did not know how to respond. what he was doing feels absolutely wrong, but i can't exactly elucidate why. is it plagiarism? yes, literally, because chatgpt steals everything from internet posts and can't generate anything that someone has never posted on reddit. no, literally, because it isn't a direct replication, but a rewording of other people's ideas. if you read other people's ideas and synthesize them yourself, that's just how learning works at certain stages. so there's nothing specifically wrong with that concept. but the act of absorbing, analyzing, synthesizing is how brains develop. so if you let a machine do it for you, is that cheating? is it just cheating yourself, or is it academically dishonest? back in the day you had to go to a library and read books yourself for relevant information. now you can do a full text search for keywords in seconds. i am pretty sure that significantly reduces the value you get from the book, but is it cheating? obviously academia has decided that it is not. is chatgpt just an evolution of a search engine? how much of your own human-powered synthesis and data processing is required to call something your own unique work, and how much can you pass off to a machine?

Achmed Jones posted:it is reasonable to treat things that seem to be intelligences as intelligences. no it isn't. people are broadly credulous and superstitious, and they have a natural tendency to anthropomorphize everything, and they can be fooled by incredibly dumb tricks. tons of people think that teslas are intelligent. ELIZA can still convince some people that it's human. "people think this is an intelligence" is the worst possible metric

no. "do people generally consider this thing to be a human intelligence" is a stupid metric. humans think all kinds of things are smart when they are not (computers, pets, elon musk) and ascribe human behaviors to inanimate objects that can never have them all the time because that is how humans understand the world. yes i am aware of the epistemological argument, brain in a jar, p-zombies, blah blah. those are irrelevant. this is a pragmatic question of whether a specific system is a suitable replacement for a human intelligence in specific situations, not whether we will hypothetically someday come up with a system that does fool everyone in every situation, or whether something counts as smart because stupid people think it is.

you can see a metal barrel sticking out. i'd imagine they are basically just printed plastic housings over real gun parts. since it is a guerilla group, perhaps the intention of the wild colors is subterfuge or smuggling

i figure they must have thought of that, right? either the lower screen is required to operate the tv somehow, or it has a light sensor that means it can't be covered up, or the ads play sounds too, or something. or perhaps they just didn't think of it and this is an idea on par with whatever company it was that was just giving away free movie tickets with no other apparent business model
