Cigarette ads have a ton of restrictions despite that first amendment existing

Funnily enough cigarette ads were banned in 1970 before the Supreme Court regime that says you can't ban ads for a given legal product. If someone were to take the case to the Supreme Court, they could probably get cigarette ads un-banned.

With a sufficient endowment to the Trump family, one can get anything they want from this supreme court

The flood of smile thumbs up and confetti emojis on slack and Google meet isn't enough?

Watch your next demo day meeting... Some people will get tons of reacts, comments; some people get nothing. At least in person you get the obligatory smattering of claps after the talk. When there's nothing at all, it feels like you did something wrong.

Can you do this with the 20 dollar plan?

I have an example here. Took 3 hours with Pro Plan.

That's cool as hell.

Yes, but it eats your 5-hour quota really quick.

Ai isn't being used to make competent people better but tries to give supposed expertise to people who don't have skill in that area.

Can't you pay cash for things like Visa gift cards and use them online?

Gift cards don't allow reloading which consequently makes them a significant inconvenience to use for subscriptions. It's sort of like saying you can pay for something by going to their offices and paying in cash. Okay, but then why does the way that 99.9% of people are actually going to do it have to be the one that invades their privacy and puts everything they do in a database?

At least in the US most places that sell gift cards require ID when purchased in cash

depends on local laws?

You're also 17 or 18 when you go. We were children. Alot of classes also end up sucking so you just power through it and get jaded about the whole experience.

Powering through or doing the bare minimum and getting a C is surely better than cheating by outsourcing.

Depends on how the hiring critera for the next stage go. If HR filters out everybody with less than a 3.5GPA right from the start then the C student who knows the stuff will never even get a chance, while the cheater will have the opportunity to bluff their way through the interview.

Depends on your goal. If you can get a higher GPA by cheating and don’t plan on using the actual knowledge…

Better by what measure? Not by "get the best job after college" certainly.

That’s funny, I was 17 & 18 once too and managed to never cheat in any of my classes…

It’s just saying the same thing differently. The point was never to “power through” classes. It is just checking the same boxes with a different colored pen.

Fascinating to see this get upvoted for a bit, then the long tail is down.

Suspect a correlation with stance on the subject.


You're late to it and that's not how people are using Instagram

Diablo 3 got such a harsh reaction that one of the lead game developers quit the industry after

My sci fi story I came up with was,not that a virus is good to kill us,but a rogue AI is going to use a virus or something to hijack our minds and have us do the physical work it wants done like an ant colony.

Maybe it'll call this superpower "money"

If AI at work is rotting everyone's brain then it should be like a superpower to be unemployed. But that doesn't seem to be the case...

That's because the folks who are unemployed, unfortunately, are largely those who already were further down the curve. We're destroying the minds of those who were supposed to move society forward and gaining nothing elsewhere.

I struggle to understand this. I use AI quite regularly and find it frees up hours of my day to do consequential “understanding” work that previously got eaten up by there literally not being enough hours in a day to solve my own problems and understand others enough to help them solve theirs.

Lol way to call me an idiot... thanks...
