There were some, sure, but very far from “entirely”. I’ve been going to their shows since the 90s and the crowds have always been great.

"Don't Drink The Water" - Dave Matthews (LIVE on The Late Show) YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

DDTW is brilliant, and there are many truly epic / chilling live performances.

He played it on Colbert recently:

I think you mean #36 (the chorus “Hani, Hani… come and dance with me” later changed to “Honey, Honey…”, and the rest of lyrics changed pretty much completely).

This is not true, and shows a total misunderstanding of how the H1B program works. Companies have no incentive to prefer H1B employees over US citizens (whether “born here” or not) - indeed, H1B hires cost more and incur more administrative overhead.

The US is most definitely not overpopulated. What could possess you to say something like that? Limited resources are not a problem here. Imbalanced access to resources is, though.

Yeah pretty much this.

Oh god. I just scrolled down and discovered you did not mean milk intended for pigeons.

Also, pigeon cookies.

How so?

I know first hand that someBernie supporters used illegal, unethical tactics in WA - putting up flyers at my building encouraging Clinton supporters to vote in the (non-binding) primary that she won by a lot while claiming the caucus didn’t matter (which was the opposite of reality).

The AI “takes” on this app continue to alarm me with just how detached from reality so many are.

Nobody is trying to “deskill” anyone. This is just technology doing what technology does - automating things, making things easier, and making it so one person can do more than before.

That is still totally wrong (there is no reduction in training cost, actually more, the benefit is reduced inference cost). And has absolutely nothing to do with “plagiarism”.

Go troll and mansplain somewhere else.

I am not going to engage with your trolling any further, goodbye.

🙄

I have better things to do than argue with randos about my area of expertise. But for one example, you seem to completely misunderstand what MoE means (experts are not “sub-models”, and are not “targeted” in the way you implied). MoE in LLMs is a perf optimization enabling sparse activations.

How much was paid to the “actor” and how much to her friend’s production company?

Such an absolutely insane “feature”.

They care about being the ones to do it.

That is an epically terrible analogy.

You have several misunderstandings about how these things work.

Research is one of *many* tasks these models can help with. That is far from the only one.

What is wrong with students learning to use AI assistants for research? (Just as they’ve been learning to use search engines, card files, etc)?

You’re changing the argument. My reply was very specifically to an assertion about what LLMs and Copilot were *designed* for.

I was just responding to what you said, and pointing out that you may not have understood what *I* said.

It almost certainly would.

You think mastering a GUI and taking a bunch of clicks to do something rather than expressing it in natural language is “where thinking occurs”?

I don’t agree at all with that statement.

IMO I don’t think disabling useful features on school PCs is a solution. Most students will have access to these and other AI assistants at home anyway.

Again, there have always been lots of ways to cheat. Part of the job of educators is to instill principles and integrity in their students.

They’re just getting us back for Americans being so bad at European geography.

Don’t gaslight. You came into my mentions with a barrage of personal attacks and false claims that I said horrible things that are literally the opposite of what I said.

You didn’t even read how I framed things, apparently.

Summaries can be useful, but obviously aren’t replacement for reading the material.

I don’t see why you would want to prevent students from using natural language UI to format and edit their docs, to help with research, or to get feedback on their writing. Why limit their access to such things?

Your implication is not accurate, and it really doesn’t seem like you’re interested in actually hearing any viewpoints other than your own.

That’s a straw man and not what I said.

There are many uses of AI / LLM tech, the vast majority of which are not “cheating on homework”, and are things that students should learn to use correctly.

Your argument sounds like saying copy-paste should be disabled because it can be used to plagiarize.

What the actual hell are you talking about?

MY argument was that we should care about ALL of these workers. I objected to Faine’s suggestion that only the “knowledge worker” (aka “white collar”) jobs matter.

You keep attacking me for things I didn’t say. Please read before replying in the future.

I do not agree with any of that.
