So this public school in the Bronx had Math State Exam Grades 3-4 today, May 7.

“We showcased our learning with an Interactive Rainforest Experience where students shared their performances and recordings of their books with QR codes. Our scholars in the Saturday Academy engaged in animal research projects and published their books in Book Creator. Our teachers and students also worked in partnership with Digital Age Learning to show what they learned through movement.”

Does she even know what her schools are doing?

They need to elect an informed official.

I suspect there will still be online interactions with humans, just more interactions with bots. Unfortunately, it’s we humans behind the mess. Even if we pass laws to stop it (or even forced labels of “I’m a bot” on bot accounts), some people won’t play by the rules. So the change is going to happen. We can try to persuade the public, but we know how well that works:

So what do you propose be done about it?

So change means “dying”? So every time a tadpole evolves into a frog, a tadpole dies? Should we have protest signs that read, “FROGS KILL TADPOLES! DOWN WITH FROGS”?

Bots are increasing. But the Internet is not dead/dying, just changing. Many of the “The 10 bots are posting a total of 1000 times a day.” are repost bots merely parroting human generated content.

I wonder, though, if this will cause the scrapers to be impacted by the reposters or other AI generated content.

But is the Internet dying? The thing it doesn’t say is if the human participation is dwindling.

To keep it simple, I’ll work with small numbers. Imagine there are 10 humans online. Now imagine 1 bot on online. Bots are 9% (1 in 11) of this imaginary online community. A year later, those same 10 humans are still online, but there are now 10 bots online; the bots are 50% of the community. This statistic can lead you to think there is less human participation when nothing happened to the humans. The difference is the raw number of bots. This is what I believe is happening, about the same number of humans, just an increasing number of bots, scraping, posting, etc.

X/Twitter is dying because of mismanagement.

If they put a president such as Trump above the law, even to assassinating a rival… doesn’t that mean that Joe Biden could order a hit on Trump, laugh over Trump’s corpse, watch as the House votes to impeach him, and relax as the Senate ignores this?

Sorry, I just realized they would be giving Biden the golden “get out of jail free” card, so that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz wouldn’t even have the satisfaction of voting against Biden.

However, I still think Trump will lose this, and it’s because of this:

“Hi! I’m Clippy! It looks like you’re trying to play Halo. Let’s take you to the Store so you can purchase more DLCs…”

But I just want to play Halo…

“Yes, but the DLCs will make it better!”

But I’m happy with what I already have.

“Oh, look, here’s the store!”

I hear it spreads easily.

A factual, “You snooze, you lose”. I suspect they lost (or will lose) their jobs.

Good to note, “None on board - including 153 passengers and four flight attendants - were injured during the flight, and there was no damage to the aircraft.”

It’s a dwindling effect, not just instant abandonment.

I just wanted to point out that this image is for the ladies and jants in the crowd.

Insulted? Vines videos were mostly portrait. 2013-2014 were most-likely its hay day. Vines is dead now, but cell phone videos in portrait were posted to Vines a lot.

Now if you mean music videos or cinema, yeah, portrait would be odd.

Israel is messing up, even from a religious view:

Leviticus 19 (KJV) 33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Or if you prefer NIV 33 "'When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

He’ll give back Maine and Colorado (the two states that want him off the ballot). Two for one! I’m sure that Russian Donnie can work the art of that deal.

At least one.
