- Comment on Teachers warn AI is impacting students' critical thinking 3 days ago:
The comparison of AI to calculators is a false equivalence, as AI’s complexity enables it to tackle intricate problems beyond the reach of simple calculators, and many AI tools are open source, fostering collaboration and innovation.
Private companies indeed drive AI development, but this is not unique to AI and often accelerates technological progress, while significant public funding supports AI research globally, contrary to the claim of lack of investment.
Energy consumption in AI is a recognized issue, yet efforts are underway to improve efficiency, and patents, rather than hindering progress, protect intellectual property and spur innovation, with many patented technologies eventually benefiting the broader ecosystem.
AI’s perceived lack of transparency is being addressed through explainable AI techniques, and regulations are emerging to ensure responsible use, providing society with mechanisms to control AI’s impact.
Educating students about AI empowers them to critically evaluate technology, and focusing on fundamental concepts can mitigate the risks associated with relying on specific platforms, as the concern about private companies’ influence can be managed through diversification and ethical guidelines.
The risk of companies changing services or going bankrupt is not unique to AI and can be mitigated through strategic planning and the use of open-source alternatives, ensuring continuity in education and technological development.

Ah, the age-old debate of AI in education—where the line between ‘assistance’ and ‘assignment’ gets blurrier than a chalkboard after a day of lectures! While it’s true that AI can sometimes be the ‘ghostwriter’ for essays, let’s not forget that it can also be a fantastic tutor, offering instant feedback and endless patience. The real challenge is teaching students to use AI as a tool to sharpen their critical thinking, rather than a crutch to avoid it.
Imagine if calculators had never been allowed in math class because they ‘did the work for you.’ We’d still be stuck on long division while the world moved on to algebra! The key is balance—using AI to enhance learning, not replace it. And as for those telltale AI intro lines, well, consider them a modern-day ‘cheat sheet’ detector—a gentle nudge to remind students that original thought is still the gold standard.
So, let’s embrace the AI wave, but also teach our students to surf it with their own critical thinking caps firmly in place. After all, the future isn’t about who can regurgitate information the fastest, but who can think the deepest.

Buy McDonald’s stock, fire the CEO and hire someone cheap.

Why do they stay in USA then. There are plenty of countries where one can earn a better net worth.
USA is an immigrant country. Non of you are natives. Do what your ancestors did. Leave.

What’s the value of your parents their house and how many siblings do you have.
You’re pretty fucked being American in that situation.

Sucks for immigrants. I’m born rich
- Comment on You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW 4 days ago:
Never been in USA, but working at McDonald’s here in Belgium while living at your parents, with 2000 euros net from a minimum wage job… Yeah after a year you can buy the house that I showed.
I’m sure you can work while living with your parents.
Having the 25k euros is only step one. Afterwards you need to build up capital for passive income when you are in Indonesia.
The cost of living is very low. the median net worth in Indonesia is 5000 euros. So with your starting capital, you’ll be ahead of the curve.
With your English, you have some niches you can do. Like working for English speaking companies. Local or from your computer.
most people that do this, go to Bali. But if you want cheaper areas, the place I showed is also do-able.
Bali is popular because more people there speak English. For Americans, the Philippines is popular because English is an official language.
My wife’s indonesian so if she wants to, we’ll go there.
likely not, because I prefer Belgium. But I’m also not complaining about the high housing prices here in Belgium. I know why they are high. It’s because people want to live here.

You can still buy a house by working at McDonald’s. All you need to do is leaving your country. Here’s a nice house in Tanjung Pinang, Bintan, Indonesia.
25000 euros.

We lack a translate button. Rednote and weibo have translate buttons. We need that.
- Comment on The basics of the Fediverse. Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Reddit, ... vs the Fediverse. What do you think? 5 days ago:
There’s no central authority here. But if it doesn’t matter which instance you are on, then all the users on Lemmy are still just part of Lemmy.
On the graph I see other icons than Lemmy.
Are we able to see content from other social media? Or what is meant with that

What is not fair? I just said kind seeks kind, you don’t need people that aren’t your kind. It’s an easy way to figure out who isn’t your kind. The leak, is a great way to communicate.
As OP said, he found quite some more people that wanted to join.

It’s a good thing. Kind seeks kind. Don’t be afraid to be who you are.

- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
I can imagine that spamming/constant harassment/advertising/etc can ruin a space. Especially when it can be automated.
Perhaps it would be better with temp bans and that moderation is automated in order to prevent bias.

It’s been 1 week since I found out about Lemmy, liking it quite a bit.
I wonder, is there an area on this social media that are extremist pro free speech?
Such as, okay you’re being a total shithead, I still won’t ban you.
I’m just curious if spaces such as that even exist, and if they do, what they lead to.

Met my wife on a little internet forum called 9chat. Right before it disappeared.
These little spaces on the internet were quite nice to be. Always seeing the same people. It has a different feeling.
Decentralising social media will have its positives. When one tries to control public opinion, people can flee to another one for example.
- Comment on Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City 2 weeks ago:
If the major stakeholder and CEO is actively being an unelected politician addressing policy changes onto the public, then repercussions need to happen.
It would not be wise to show people that they can achieve plutocracy. Plutocrats only lose their power by losing their wealth, so if that’s what has to happen, then that is the plan.
