    Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it’s AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You’ve never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

      Apparently she started out saying AI, then switched to A1 mid-statement. Might have been corrected privately before, but it only partially took.

    Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.

      I’m fully onboard that you past shouldn’t matter if you’re good. I won’t hold it against Linda McMahon for her WWE performances etc. But she’s an odd cookie and has no place running education.

      source
      • LovableSidekick@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah that’s really my point. Somebody who heads a national government department should have something in their past that’s related to what the agency does. Same requirement as for ANY job.

      It’s so American to be ashamed of the world laughing at us, and not at all the heinous shit we’ve done.

      source
      • LovableSidekick@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Maybe it’s also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.

        No, it’s his wife, who has collaborated in a bunch of his fucked up endeavors, bet likely including helping with sex trafficking.

    Considering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.

    Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?

    "I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’

    “But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”

      Ketchup on a burrito that you don’t know is called a burrito is up there with putting ketchup on a well-done steak

    People seem to be missing the one positive piece of news here: She’s literate!

    The only person who would make this mistake is someone who read “AI” in an ambiguous font. I know it’s a low bar, but this means that the secretary of education is able to read.

      A part of my brain always reads AI as Al (yes, those are two different letters). As in Albert.

      So it’s generative Albert. And “Albert is increasingly using more power”.

    Does that mean it might be possible to trick Musk and company into investing in steak sauce instead of AI? Even if we end up with a whole bunch of unwanted condiments we then have to destroy, that strikes me as a win.
