All this guy does is troll Taylor Swift fans. Then he sends the engagement revenue to the Special Olympics.

My wife and I homeschool. And one secondary concern we have had is making sure our kids have friends they can socialize with. It's been hard trying to get our kids together with other kids.
But, I just figured it out. Kids don't have friends anymore.

My wife went to University in Belgium. Every final exam was an oral exam where your score was based on how long you can answer questions before the professor made you break down crying.
This would solve a lot of AI challenges.
Reddit is flooded with students asking various subreddits how to deal with professors accusing them of generative AI use in their writing during this finals period. Professors are wondering how to deal with obvious generative AI use in their grading. We broke something.

Not a farmer, I am an agronomist.
When a practice can be scientifically proven as "best" the benefits are usually regionally localized at best, and often come with tradeoffs in other areas. Broad requirements nation-wide would be detrimental.
Everything in AG is a tradeoff.
