I don’t think it’s as surprising when you think about how they developed the tech — literally programmed it by scraping the words and work of human beings available on the internet. It’s likely going to hit a copyright battle before too long, though, because ChatGPT sometimes pulls word for word from certain books. (We’ll see how that goes, especially if it hits a big writer or company.) Plumbing and other labor require more fine detail maneuvering, so that’s going to lag as the robotics improve. That’s the only thing staving off a very real work crunch, IMO.

Eh, it’ll hit plenty of trade jobs, too. Trucking companies are already beginning to use AI driven vehicles, and 3D printing will definitely put a dent in construction eventually. I work in automation installation, and it’s definitely coming for all of us. I agree college is overpriced for what it’s providing now, but nobody should be getting too comfortable with what technology is bringing down the line.

Is this actually standard procedure? Has this been done before when party control switched? More what I find surprising is that taxpayer money is even subject to partisan control.

I highly doubt they’ll go to jail, in all honesty. It’s probably more that the potential hangs there as a threat to emphasize the seriousness of the crime in the most extreme situations. They’ll likely get probation and a fine. Now, for what the school will do is another situation. These two may very well be on their way to academic censure, if not suspension.

>And for what it’s worth, when I die, I literally do not give two shits what you do with my body.

This is fine, but this is you stating consent to do so. These people donated their bodies to science and consented to being used for educational purposes, not lewd or disrespectful ones.

For me, the important context here is that these students are training to be medical professionals. Respect of bodily consent is key to that field. Respect of people's sensibilities toward death and the handling of bodies post-mortem is also going to be key to their job because they'll likely see a decent amount of it in their profession. If they can't be trusted to treat the body of a dead person with respect, it's fair for the college to question what kind of grace they'd extend a living one.

Let them be preyed on. In all honesty, people who are easily taken in by grifters are not generally worth saving. If it isn't one scam, it'll be another. Some just have no self-preservation instincts.

I have no idea why people think that stuff's appropriate in places like the office. There should just be places that are political neutral spaces for everybody's peace of mind.

Your PCP can generally write for most everything except some of the stimulant level CIIs. The only hard time getting in is the initial visit. There’s a lot of demand, and they have to spread our care. Once you’re in, they’re pretty good at keeping you regularly scheduled.

It arrived and I got the alert, thank god. I was just mad because I had specifically asked them because my flight was leaving later in the morning, so I could’ve potentially moved it back and dropped it off.

Counting a year where a once in a lifetime pandemic impacted how we voted and set some changes in motion against years of precedent is a little unfair. My guess is the majority is voting in person this year, save for people like me who have voted by mail for years due to our jobs.

Several states have done mail only elections for years without problems. Others have newly expanded the rules, so it’s going to take time to adjust. I’m fine with that if it increases voter turnout and accessibility.

I priority mailed mine on Friday and it’s still not showing received, and when I called, they said they still haven’t received. I’m pretty furious since I’m legitimately on the other side of the country, but I’m told I have no recourse if it isn’t received by 8PM. If I don’t see it changed, that post office better be prepared because I will visit and raise hell.
