I dunno, Meta is going to open a datacenter that is going to use three times the power of New Orleans. AI is a problem.

Between COVID and AI, a whole generation of university graduates (with minor exceptions) has not been able to learn how to problem-solve. These same graduates also lost the entry level jobs because the AI can do it better.

Remote schooling has been an absolute disaster.
AI is just the cherry on top... I'm supposed to teach an apprentice how to write basic corporate letters to customers. The second she runs into a problem she asks Chatgpt to write it for her and doesn't even bother to check if it has actually written what it should and it's not even like she's using it "smart".... But at least there are less typos.
When she has to enter a Bill in our system she is basically totally uncapable of seeing which text would be usefull to note and instead writes random stuff that is on the bill (vat numbers, pointless article numbers... your imagination is the limit).
The total implosion of any basic windows/office skills combined with the attention span of a goldfish... She was actually very decent in school but I plain can't imagine how... It's just sad to see, can't imagine how bad students do.
She is years behind when compared to apprentices that finnished school before Covid. I blame remote schooling, AI, touchscreens/smartphones and tutorial videos replacing text based instructions. It's not even like her parents weren't "on the ball" or that she was a "screen-child" but the diffrence is staggering.
I teach apprentices since over 10 years, sometimes I had "bad" ones that needed a bit more support/time to learn stuff but in the end it allways worked out and they became reliable young adults that were a joy to work with. This is pretty much the first time it's not fun at all and I plain don't know how to make that girl "get it", my collegues that are also supposed to teach her stuff are scared to do so because she makes so many errors.

https://www.promarket.org/2022/11/08/how-austerity-emerged-after-world-war-i-to-preserve-capitalism/
When I refer to a crisis of capitalism, I do not mean an economic crisis— say, a slowdown in growth or an uptick in inflation. Capitalism is in crisis when its core relationship (the sale of production for profit) and its two enabling pillars (private property in the means of production; and wage relations between owners and workers) are contested by the public, in particular by the workers who make capitalism run. As part of these expressions of unhappiness, people have historically demanded alternative forms of social organization. Indeed, and as this book will demonstrate, austerity’s primary utility over the last century has been to silence such calls and to foreclose alternatives to capitalism. Mostly this occurs in times of public outcry and worker strikes— not, as it is often advertised, in times when states and governments seek to spontaneously improve their economic indicators by practicing greater economic discipline.

To be fair, incompetent students/interns have always been around. The key difference in my view is that their first instinct now is not to try to figure it out, but to ask the bot to solve it for them. When the bot can't do it, suddenly they have no idea where to start, even with very basic tasks.
I can give you an example of one of my own PhD students (and he's actually one of the better ones). We were responding to a reviewer who had requested something that made no physical sense (probably text generated by the bot to begin with, but I digress). It was simple, they were asking about a process whose timescale was too short to influence the results. I asked the student to convert a diffusion constant into a timeframe to show this (simple multiply/divide operation when you know the geometry of the sample and material details, something that takes less than 2 minutes to do). For some reason the bot couldn't solve it or kept getting stupid answers, so he then spent a week searching the literature (with the bot, of course) for a reference of a measurement that gave the timeframe because he couldn't think how to do it otherwise.

No, I did it the other way around. I first googled and read articles about the case of Abrego Garcia. I fact checked the sources and the news articles. That's how I knew that the deportation was wrongful to begin with. Not just the method or the target location or the imprisonment.

You say things like '3rd country deportations are basically a favour to the deportee'. When pressed for sources, you resort to ChatGPT. In the past, you've also uncritically referenced stuff like Kristi Noem's White House blog to make your points because it was something that you agreed with. In general, you will take stuff you agree with as true and stuff you disagree with as false.
This whole saga has little to do with right-wing lies and more about how you construct your arguments (poorly).

Ah yes, because Introvert argued so much better. He did not. If you wanna pick any sides, picking his seems worse. He made a number of false claims and you didn't question him on that.
For example.

That was in fact not the basis. It was the smuggling charges. But Introvert simply repeats the misinformation.

These illegal immigrants literally get jury trials to receive visa extensions or citizenship to prevent being deported. That's the top spot where ICE generally abducts them nowadays. Joke country. No? Immigration trials are before immigration judges which are article 2 judges (executive branch) not article 3 (judicial branch). At no point in American history had it been required to have a criminal jury trial to deport someone in the country illegally unless there was some other factor. A joke is thinking that sneaking across the border entitles you to the delays, due process, and legal protections of the criminal system. It'd be overwhelmed instantly. Just imagine if eveyone who Biden, being derelict at the border, let in, had to have a full jury trial to be deported. It's rediculous and easy to see why. Bruh. You brought up jury trials, not me. I thought you were talking about whatever regular trials they get summoned to. That's where ICE picks them up and abducts them. You know this. Imagine being an illegal person in a country that you take nothing from. You respect the law, you work, you even pay taxes, you're better than the typical citizen. And yet you get treated like trash. Well you said it was a joke he could be deported without a trial, but when we talked about this before I pointed out that he already had his normal immigration adjudication process and it was determined he could be deported. So I assumed you were talking about something else because otherwise what you said was just wrong. Imagine being someone who broke American law, lives in the country illegally and thinks that you shouldn't be concerned about being deported at any moment. How many countries, that presumably are not jokes, even puts up with illegal immigration as much as the US does. I've asked before, but you claim to not be for open borders yet it's hard to find a policy you support that isn't effectively open borders.

Im not as sure about his chances in the legal system as you are, but he should have been deported to somewhere he could legally be sent and that should have been the end of it.
There was no legal basis for Garcia's deportation because the smuggling charges weren't yet resolved.

Yes, "bad" apprentices allways existet, but they never had these sorts of issues. If I had one that didn't do well in school before, they usually struggled in the educational/academic aspects, atleast in the beginning. Some were plain lazy or not actually interested. But now? You get academically "gifted" apprentices that decided to not go for collegue out of their own will and then still struggle with basic tasks I would expect a good student to easily do. I'm not talking rocket science here. It's accounting, contract law, ms-office basics, german (mothertongue), english and french. They struggle as if it's harder than the stuff they had to do in school, which it plain isn't. It's just presented a bit diffrent and the teachers don't/can't constantly hold their hands.
Also, the issue isn't that she's using too much ChatGPT or Google. She uses it for stuff she got told you can use it for and uses it for that stuff totally uncritical, as if she thinks she is ousourcing all her work. Using it for something else? She seems to lack any imagination/understanding/idea... If stuff is not 100% pre chewed she is just immediatly lost. It's just strange/sad.

How many countries, that presumably are not jokes, even puts up with illegal immigration as much as the US does. I've asked before, but you claim to not be for open borders yet it's hard to find a policy you support that isn't effectively open borders.

What do you think the final price tag on this giant fuck up is going to be? And do not forget to add all the new legal costs from the civil suit he will most certainly win.

The anti-USA hate is waning. The Toronto BLue Jays are a 100% American product and the entire country is just gobbling up their pennant run. Every city the Blue Jays visit has thousands of Canadian fans at the games. The WNBA managed to sell out a full sized NBA arena in a regular season game in Canada. Canadians loves "America's Past Time". They just can't help themselves. The Blue Jays were a much cooler team when they were distinctly un-American. Oh well. LOL. Big Win for the USA today.

What a joke country. meh, like most people who've lived around Toronto, Canada I have a few options in which country I can live. For me, and many hard working Canadians the USA is the best option. All these millions and millions of Albertans and Quebecers whining forever about separating from Canada and it'll prolly never happen. They can just leave for the USA. Big Red Sox//Yankees game tonight! USA! USA!. I'm really mad at the less taxes I'm going to have pay. I sure wish I was down there with you so I could pay more so the ultra rich could pay less! Im not as sure about his chances in the legal system as you are, but he should have been deported to somewhere he could legally be sent and that should have been the end of it. There was no legal basis for Garcia's deportation because the smuggling charges weren't yet resolved.
Neither me nor Acrofales is siding with Introvert. We are simply asking you to do better. We have both noticed something in your posting history that makes your posts less authoritative and your arguments significantly less effective. I will leave it here, take the feedback or don't, it's up to you.

Remote schooling has been an absolute disaster.
AI is just the cherry on top... I'm supposed to teach an apprentice how to write basic corporate letters to customers. The second she runs into a problem she asks Chatgpt to write it for her and doesn't even bother to check if it has actually written what it should and it's not even like she's using it "smart".... But at least there are less typos.
When she has to enter a Bill in our system she is basically totally uncapable of seeing which text would be usefull to note and instead writes random stuff that is on the bill (vat numbers, pointless article numbers... your imagination is the limit).
The total implosion of any basic windows/office skills combined with the attention span of a goldfish... She was actually very decent in school but I plain can't imagine how... It's just sad to see, can't imagine how bad students do.
She is years behind when compared to apprentices that finnished school before Covid. I blame remote schooling, AI, touchscreens/smartphones and tutorial videos replacing text based instructions. It's not even like her parents weren't "on the ball" or that she was a "screen-child" but the diffrence is staggering.
I teach apprentices since over 10 years, sometimes I had "bad" ones that needed a bit more support/time to learn stuff but in the end it allways worked out and they became reliable young adults that were a joy to work with. This is pretty much the first time it's not fun at all and I plain don't know how to make that girl "get it", my collegues that are also supposed to teach her stuff are scared to do so because she makes so many errors.
To be fair, incompetent students/interns have always been around. The key difference in my view is that their first instinct now is not to try to figure it out, but to ask the bot to solve it for them. When the bot can't do it, suddenly they have no idea where to start, even with very basic tasks. I can give you an example of one of my own PhD students (and he's actually one of the better ones). We were responding to a reviewer who had requested something that made no physical sense (probably text generated by the bot to begin with, but I digress). It was simple, they were asking about a process whose timescale was too short to influence the results. I asked the student to convert a diffusion constant into a timeframe to show this (simple multiply/divide operation when you know the geometry of the sample and material details, something that takes less than 2 minutes to do). For some reason the bot couldn't solve it or kept getting stupid answers, so he then spent a week searching the literature (with the bot, of course) for a reference of a measurement that gave the timeframe because he couldn't think how to do it otherwise. Yes, "bad" apprentices allways existet, but they never had these sorts of issues. If I had one that didn't do well in school before, they usually struggled in the educational/academic aspects, atleast in the beginning. Some were plain lazy or not actually interested. But now? You get academically "gifted" apprentices that decided to not go for collegue out of their own will and then still struggle with basic tasks I would expect a good student to easily do. I'm not talking rocket science here. It's accounting, contract law, ms-office basics, german (mothertongue), english and french. They struggle as if it's harder than the stuff they had to do in school, which it plain isn't. It's just presented a bit diffrent and the teachers don't/can't constantly hold their hands. Also, the issue isn't that she's using too much ChatGPT or Google. She uses it for stuff she got told you can use it for and uses it for that stuff totally uncritical, as if she thinks she is ousourcing all her work. Using it for something else? She seems to lack any imagination/understanding/idea... If stuff is not 100% pre chewed she is just immediatly lost. It's just strange/sad.
I've had project students like that pre-covid and pre-ChatGPT. Some students just can't seem to translate knowledge gained in one context and apply it into another. For example, the vast majority of students in physics/chemistry/engineering can integrate dy=a*dx/x no problem. Ask them to find the decay lifetime of a radioactive process and they're completely at sea (you integrate dt=-Lambda dN/N). Now they just ask the bot to solve it for them and don't have to think, which means they never actually learn to apply their knowledge. This, to me, is the problem.
