  Oh I know, I’m not a kid and I share your concerns for media literacy for future generations. Part of media literacy will be learning AI. Kids will need to know that reddit is removing real people, and replacing them with AI’s which are harming the AI data bases. Iran and China make propaganda tick tocks and that gets picked up. Russian disinformation seeps through right wing media and into the internet and onto AI’s. I was just talking to the AI about it yesterday it’s very aware. I’m aware. My mom has no idea, and is addicted to facebook products. Media literacy is the problem and there’s really no way to teach it to the people left behind. I’ve been a student of it my whole life and its still a pretty complex problem to grasp. It is made worse by AI. but the solution is not, ignore AI. It’s a tool and if you don’t understand it it will be a tool to control you.

  Usually it will pull up sources when asked. “ChatGTP you said “x…” could you please provide a source for that information”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The therapy I can afford⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, it is actually quite useful from a business standpoint. I think it’s a tool that you should understand. It can be a crutch but it can also be a pretty good assistant. It’s like any other technology you can adopt.

  They said the same thing about Wikipedia/internt in the early 2000’s and really believed you should have to go to a library to get bonafide sources. I’m sure that’s long gone now judging by literacy rates. You can check the AI’s sources just like a wiki article. Kids are going to need to understand the uses, and drawbacks of this technology.

  Mine has always been bad, but autocorrect seems to be bipolar as the years pass.

  No. but you could losely apply thou shall not worship false gods. However learning, and worshipping are two completely different things.

  Christianity was formed long before there was media, so there are no scriptures that prevent you from enjoying media, and last i checked nothing that prevented you from learning.

  The sin is saying someone like Donald Trump is Jesus, and worshipping him in your home and the house of god. That’s what’s sending everyone on a first class ticket to hell. You’re cool tho. Coming from a Catholic with a lotta guilt.

  I was going for Barney Stintson but i will take it! glad it had some voice

  Mmm those physical withdrawl symptoms are something once you’ve been at it for some years.

  Also it makes you fat! You may not notice now but you will! Took me 2 years to sweat all the gin out. I still drink on occasion as well. I know all to well the cycle of drinking making work suck, work making you want to drink, wash and repeat. The end result is fat, sad, and physical addiction that makes your hands shake.

  Yes I just wanted to add a meme to the meme. but if you wanted a psych anal: I think that someone who looks for inconvenience to drink, is probably frequently inconvenienced. They are already maladapted to negative stimulation, and instead of confronting that problem in a healthy manner, they are tricking themselves into thinking is therapy.

  This isn’t a fun problem drinking meme, this is just a cry for help. There’s certainly a time and place for drinking, I usually think celebrating and spending time with loved ones. If you’re drinking because something upset you, you are creating a habit that even non-alchoholics will have a hard time kicking. It invites more misery into your life quickly. Medicine and a poison. Intentions matter. If you liked this meme and thought it was funny, it’s not, and its never to early or to late to quit and seek help.

Good luck feeding your welfare dependant family memebers this year!

  I call it 🌈alcoholism🌈 Therapy would be a cheaper choice.

  I just described rural America. From sea to shining sea. Did you actually have a historical fact? It sounded like you were just were just speculating without conculsion and casting judgement like that was the only intent you had.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I thought the American dream was having crony capitalism destroy your small business and send you to work at the Walmart that replaced you. Only to have to rely on government benefits because its the only job in 50 miles and it pays $7.50 an hour.

  Thats the rural american dream baby. Sprinkle some opioids on it. It’s glorious.
