You make good points about neglected directions of education, but as you note, AI mimics gen ed skills but doesn't grant them. Can students succeed without them? If yes, maybe no problem, but if no, what? Can you learn sophisticated sports techniques without real exercise beforehand?

The displayed SV Express looks like it only skips 4 stops. Is that it? Doesn't seem like much. Am I misreading?

Encouraging classes of "harmless" compelled speech and "harmless" violations of safeguarding protocols means you've lost the plot on each.

What sort of βrecognitionβ do you have in mind? You donβt understand the argument of how allowing someoneβs *self-conception* (or even *claim* of self-conception) to obligate others socially and/or legally, and control which social policies apply to them, harms others?

One year in SpacHouse Mark II, total monthly rent was $600, and with sharing a room, my share was a glorious $97.50/mo. I still remember the minor thrill of writing those checks.π

But how useful is that? The default probability of any hypothesis is zero - most possible scenarios aren't true. I favor initially considering "plausible".

I'm arguing that that policy change alone will improve things - worth pursuing by itself - so "need" is too strong. Ofc we probably all agree doing "more" would be even better.

As others have noted, great to stop digging a hole. And marginal incentives matter, and impact the future. Even if in the short term total COL for some doesn't budge because you have housing+parking cost the same, the change helps some now and many later.

Odd, I see no thread - just your OP and then a handful of replies - afaict you've written a single post. I don't even know how to try out different views to see anything else.

Yes, it's a culture of block-by-association that makes it so. But I get it, bsky is supposed to offer a pleasant balkanized experience. Deviating from that is a slog.

Agreed, I wonder what Geoff sees as options for writers: 1) use stock photos, 2) pay someone, 3) avoid illustrations, 4) use gen. AI - why is 4 worse, and why would 4 indicate more dependence for a writer on AI-writing?

US infrastructure costs are infamously high in general compared to Europe, no? Does Texas manage to avoid that sort endemic cost issue? iow is it fair to use Finland as a baseline here?

That didn't happen. Your logic about appealing to "most marginalized" was compared to logic applied to other groups. The point being that your claim doesn't mean others should have no input, or else that would apply to the other groups too.

The best argument I've heard for an "adversarial" approach is to encourage honesty. The IRS doesn't know what it doesn't know, and you don't know what the IRS knows, so you're incentivized to file honestly to avoid getting caught out on hiding income streams, and the IRS may find out something new.

There are exactly two shirts in my example - a binary choice of shirts for people to wear in the league. That remains true even if someone isn't wearing a shirt. You seem rather proud of your daft "logic" here - cheers!

It is not logically necessary that all organisms have a sex. If you have a sports league with two official shirt colors, and a player doesn't wear a shirt, you can't reasonably demand "what official shirt color do they have??". They're not wearing either colored shirt and still there are two shirts.
