So funny how the exact opposite of this is true
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Student movements have not always been on the right side of history. Mao's student Red Guards persecuted hundreds of thousands. Students helped Castro and Khomeini rise to power, and Nazi student groups opposed the Weimar Republic.

Spoke to my friend that works in AI and they told me this is all totally true. They trained AI to make images of dogs just my writing out extremely detailed descriptions of dogs in the chat box.
>LLMs somehow manage to create extremely accurate images and even videos based only on language, and can extremely accurately describe anything shown to them
>Researches forced to admit language really DOES describe reality
>Researches forced to accept a real logic is hidden within language that actually does correspond perfectly to reality
You guys have no idea to what extent Hegel will be vindicated in the AI age.
Hegel is the only modern philosopher who actually claimed that the entirety of reality can be understood in thought. The history of western philosophy is about attempting to prove him wrong, that there's a gap between thought and reality that cannot be bridged.
LLMs, machines made entirely out of language, will prove there's no such gap.
The mother of the Last Man's water just broke.
Political scientists and economists: we're looking for researchers with deep expertise to come work with us for a unique 4-month fellowship at @AnthropicAI. You'll work closely with us to evaluate, improve, and apply Claude's capabilities in your field. It's going to be extremely fun and interesting work, and definitely worth taking a short leave from your university for if you need to!

Super unfair that after a years long drought video games finally get good again right as I become an actual adult
Once you take the LSAT you start seeing level one logical reasoning questions in the wild all the time
Coffee shops boost innovation. 10% more Starbucks in an area --> 3-4% more inventions.
People gather over a cuppa. They share ideas, discuss how to untangle a knotty problem, help see an issue from another perspective. These conversations lead to breakthroughs and inventions.
A very fun paper finds that when Starbucks rolled out to a new county, it fueled a coffee-shop culture, urging more and more people to “grab a coffee” together. The authors compare the counties where Starbucks had rolled out to those where it had not yet arrived. And they find that the number of patents in caffeinated counties is meaningfully higher.
This paper underscores how essential the face-to-face encounter is. Starbucks isn’t that old. People Could have picked up the phone and chatted at any time. People Could have dropped an email. Probably they did. But those connections didn’t yield the same insights and creativity.
Turns out that a Cup of Joe really does help the knowledge flow. We talk about how much in-person connection boosts creativity in In Person. It’s out in just few days, so now is a great time to pre-order.

I can't imagine falling for this, does anyone seriously believe someone in a position to be hiring aerospace engineers is like "Yes, one of the most important qualifications is being in the 'BAPSphere' and also I want to use some anon schizo as a middle man"?
Something I've never understood is why schools (high schools, universities, etc) insist that the idea that Darwin's theory had implications about man, society, and race was somehow a perversion of his thought. Like you can just read On the Descent of Man:
