And in this future scenario, even if it isn’t all fridges that phone home, or you somehow manage to disable it on a fridge that does, I’m sure that’ll make your premium go up too. It’ll be advertised as a cost-saving measure - “Give us access to this data, and you premium will be less! (Until we see you buying something outside of your plan, in which case, you’ll have to pay more)”

Yes, it is. I have no idea if the guy is telling the truth though, about being the guy responsible. Unfortunate that he shares a name with the Ubisoft executive.

EDIT: Alright, looking at the rest of his responses, he has got to just be a random guy, joking around, hahaha.

Any Elder Millennial born after 1979 can’t Markdown, all they know is jot that down, 30% off on jeans, nostalgia for blockbuster, eat hot chip and buy avocado toast

But the article doesn’t really make it clear how much AI is involved in the textbooks, just that “Digital textbooks that make use of artificial intelligence are being adopted throughout South Korea.”, emphasis mine.

Other text from the article, relevant to your question:

South Korea, the 2025 APEC chair, held the group’s first education ministers’ meeting in nine years, the theme of which was innovation in digital education. Education ministers from 21 countries and regions participated.
[…]
Private companies and government-affiliated organizations set up booths at the APEC venue to promote their efforts. They exhibited software in which generative AI writes student evaluations on behalf of teachers or assigns homework and applied problems tailored to each child’s level of understanding.

The road to implementation was not a smooth one.

The government’s original goal was the world’s first rollout of AI digital textbooks to all schools nationwide. But teachers worried about the burden that making full use of the technology would place on them, while parents questioned whether the textbooks would actually improve student performance and whether they could lead to digital dependency.

After heated debate, lawmakers made last-minute changes, including requiring continued use of paper textbooks for subjects such as Korean and home economics and delaying implementation for other subjects. The government also made plans to provide advanced training to more than 160,000 teachers as well as dispatch 1,200 digital tutors as support staff.

I feel like their hypocrisy and transphobia can be pointed out even simpler by:

“No!! You can’t be in women’s sports, because you are a man!!”
and
“No!! You can’t be in the military, because you’re not… a… man…?”

I didn’t. I was referring to the image you had posted in your comment.

Yo, what the hell, are those dead bodies? Was not really wanting to see that. Please put a spoiler on that.

Ahh, I see. I wasn’t aware of it being RFK Jr. who said it, so that’s why I was having trouble finding a source. Thank you!

He’s already talked about “work camps” for people who are “addicted” to things like SSRIs.

Disgrace to humanity is absolutely right, and somehow still now adequate for the piece of shit he is.

That being said, I can’t find a source for him talking about “work camps” for people who are “addicted” to things like SSRIs. The only thing related to SSRIs and him turning up for me is how he thinks it overprescribed. Could you provide a source that I could read up on and educate myself on?

Sure, my 73 year old mother can’t walk at a brisk pace and have a deep conversation at the same time. But it doesn’t mean that she can’t spend a week educating herself about race inequality and then read up on class conflict the next week after that.

Why should we ignore one issue in favor of another? Of course, if someone doesn’t have the mental energy for more than one thing, they should focus on the one thing that matters most to them.
But I do think that it’s a bit blithe to tell everyone that they shouldn’t spend time on challenging sexism, because we should all instead just focus on class warfare.

Yes, I can care about and work at many different things in the course of my week, month and year. I think a lot of people can.

I can multitask.

I upvoted you, because it was funny and made me laugh :D

post is too unfortunately

they don’t think it be like it is but it do

I wonder if you’re running into the same thing that I’ve had quite a bit of issue with in the last few weeks on lemmy.world.

When I go to the ‘copy’ of a post on lemmy.world from another instance, I will get the same message of “You must log in or register to comment.”
Only by searching for the post on lemmy.world, clicking through to it, and then also refreshing, does lemmy seem to acknowledge that I am in fact logged in! But only if I do those steps in that order.

EDIT: I’ve made it a bit easier for myself by setting up the search engine in my browser: https://lemmy.world/search?q=%25s
So that I can just copy any other instance link, go to the address bar and type ls (the keyword I chose for the search engine), paste in the link and then go to the lemmy.world version from there, and refresh the page.

I used to be able to just use the Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin extension by cynber, but for the last few weeks I have to do the whole search and refresh dance instead.

I didn’t know that Kurzgesagt had commissioned a whole official soundtrack. That’s so cool! There’s official soundtracks going all the way back to 2014, from a quick glance at their playlists.

Ah, I see. Then it makes sense why they removed the functionality.
But Lingva looks great! Thank you for that tip. Even though it’s just a Google Translate scraper, it looks promising for my usage! Going to see how it works out for me in the coming days.

Bruh. Also, if you’re gonna make something up, why tf would you choose the phrasing of “combat-aged men”? Weird as hell.

Thank you! That let me to this original in YouTube. Not as unhinged as the one on here, but I still think it’s pretty funny.
