I’m starting to think maybe I’d prefer Brave New World over the current reality. At least the people are happy and not miserable.

Until I’m reminded we still have some power in numbers, and speech isn’t completely censored yet.

Though the future is basically BNW but with no soma. The soma will be UBI. Enough to live, but not enough to afford to rebel.

The other day I was bored and asked AI to play a game. Then I ended the “conversation” because I realised this “game’s” environmental impact. If it was clean energy-powered I’d find a way to run it in perpetuity to waste OpenAI’s money, but the environmental impact is more important

The [new] venue is considered safer than the medieval former religious school where the party was initially scheduled to be held. It is surrounded by water, making it impossible to reach by land when bridges are raised.

I wonder, if Jeff is a good guy, why is he so scared? If he was a good guy, surely nobody would want to Luigi him (attack and/or murder him) too?

Wait, really? I’d love to see replaceable batteries make a comeback, but something tells me that companies will prefer to up the water resistance instead.

No requirements on replaceable batteries? That’s the main thing that’s missing here. That and making the USB-C port easy to repair, and suddenly you no longer need new phones, just extended software support and repairs.

Yes, give China reason to join WW3. A brilliant idea!

This is it! This is it! If teachers can connect to students, then students will listen, will engage, and will be interested, excited, and ready to learn.

I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying it’s common, but I am saying that I’ve had a total of about 40 teachers before university, and of them, there are only 2 that I can point to, where students at large felt really engaged with the class. And this is why.
