  • Wanting to learn.

    I was apart of a very orthodox religious school who’s main appeal is their dual curriculum setup. They start with judaics at 7 am with secular studies from 12:40 pm to 5 pm and then more judaics from 7 - 9 pm. I never had a proper education and when I went to the secular education principle to be put back into arithmetic, she got quite pissed at me and mocked me for even wanting this. I went on a complete and utter fucking tangent not going to school until they fucking put me in arithmetic.

    After I somehow graduated in 2022 (with absolutely fucking nothing – no diploma or anything) i went to community college and finished multivariate calculus from arithmetic within 2 years span. Shit I even graduated with a degree in mathematics.

    I recently went back and started substituting there during my winter break off of university, and it has effectively become so fucking shitty that while I was subbing, the entire day was spent drawing… fucking drawing.

    These aren’t kindergartners, these are 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, they should be learning algebra at this point, and they’re just familiarizing themselves with exponents. The 8th grade doesn’t even have a teacher to teach fucking math.

    With all that said, I sent an email to the principle implying a dillema, “either you can bring the secular program up to standard, or I will cut it” the principle never responded and I may have no choice but to send a cease and desist letter as a more formal course of action and an additional warning if they don’t cooperate.




  • As far as I’m concerned the generative AI that we see in chatbots has no goal associated with it: it just exists for no purpose at all. In contrast to google translate or other translation apps (which BTW still use machine learning algorithms) have a far more practical use to it as being a resource to translate other languages in real-time. I don’t care what companies call it (if it’s a tool or not) at the moment its a big fucking turd that AI companies are trying to force feed down our fucking mouth.

    You also see this tech slop happening historically in the evolution of search engines. Way before we had recommendation algorithms in most modern search engines. A search engine was basically a database where the user had to thoughtfully word its queries to get good search results, then came the recommendation algorithm and I could only imagine no one, literally no one, cared about it since we could already do the things this algorithm offered to solve. Still, however, it was pushed, and sooner than later integrated into most popular search engines. Now you see the same thing happening with generative AI…

    The purpose of generative AI, much like the recommendation algorithm is solving nothing hence the analogy “its just a big fucking turd” is what I’m trying to persuade here: We could already do the things it offered to solve. If you can see the pattern, its just this downward spiraling affect. It appeals to anti intellectuals (which is most of the US at this point) and google and other major companies are making record profit by selling user data to brokers: its a win for both parties.
