Learning about how AI works and what it is/isn’t good at, is a good thing? It will most likely make kids use generative AI less, and be careful about what they use it for

My bad, I didn’t proofread it

It’s fixed now, thank you!

What do you want to be banned…the smoking or the nicotine?

In this case I saw the news article and I wanted to hear people’s thoughts on it. I learned a lot from the comments, and appreciate you adding your perspective, thank you :)

More of a PSA for the ones that I come across, in case it helps anyone

Thanks! I added a direct link to the list in the post

Thank you, I’ve added that link to the top of the post

Elections Canada has announced preliminary estimates that show nearly two million electors voted Friday, the first day of advance polls.

While I still can’t say this is novel, this other article mentions that the goal is to make it cheap enough that venues can have enough for every drink that they serve and to put the responsibility on venues rather than the user

“In the anti-violence sector, you know, there’s a lot of very strong feelings about people who are being targeted with violence being told that the burden of safety is on them, and that they have to buy more and do more to protect themselves constantly,” she said.

“The idea is that it’ll be completely ubiquitous,” she said. “Every drink leaving the bar will have a stick in it. Every drink will be stirred, every drink will be tested, every drink will be safe.”

PoorlyDrawnLines comics are like that, they’re silly and simple. I’ve seen better ones, this just happened to be recent

What I found slightly funny about this one was that ‘shooting all the bullets out’ is how it works in games if you want to make a weapon useless
