TL;DR: AI transcript said I’d been a smoker since the age of 11, never smoked a day in my life.
My doctor asked me if she could use AI transcription software because she had hand surgery and couldn’t type. I said yes and reviewed the statements and while it was fairly accurate, it did have one egregious error on it.
When asked if I had ever smoked, in person, I replied with a simple “no,” and did not proceed to have any follow up conversation until her next question. The AI transcript for mysterious reasons decided my answer was “yes, since the age of 11.” 💀💀💀
Had to message them to fix it and while they did fix it asap, my first instinct wasn’t to check the transcript and I only did so out of curiosity. I can’t imagine what other people’s experiences may be.
You can try the physical wigglers? They’re like $20ish and can be plugged into a power source that’s not your work device if your company is particular about that too.
It’s basically a timer and a cheap motor that rotates a disc with a pattern that is meant to trick laser mice into thinking that it’s being moved across a valid surface. Some are better than others.
Other homemade solutions would be opening notepad and having a heavy object press a key, but that seems not ideal for random window pop-ups.
Yeah, I’d tack onto to this add that I have had similar experiences around that age. While I never got a parental talk about this specifically, I always had stranger danger drilled into me. The context of what was happening made more sense when I got a little older and seemed to just be an accepted thing that happened among my peers at the time.
It felt really common and not a lot could be done about it as a kid and joking about the creepy old man on the bus or street was really all we could do.
Granted, I am from a large city which has its own risks, but I imagine a familiar, trusting small town has its own flavor of problems. The most important part is your kid feeling comfortable talking to you, having the support needed to emotionally process the events when they occur, and being unafraid to speak up if they have to.
There’s a throwaway line in the early season (1 or 2) where he complains about something related to him and that he’s been around for 30ish years and it blew my mind cause I thought he was a teen when I was a teen.
I can’t seem to find this quote anywhere because film blogs all want to reference the driver’s license dream as his canon birthday but I swear there’s an early episode with this line.
While the exhibit is open to the public, the article specifies that the files contain unredacted names and are not available to be viewed by the general public.
Though the installation will be open to the public, only journalists and members of law enforcement are permitted to actually read through the files; others will still be able to view the timeline and the tribute to survivors.
Omg yes. I had an AP English teacher, who is an atheist, but felt like snippets of it had relevance to the other literature we were reading and the few bits I read completely turned me away from it.
Granted, one of the chapters was literally and (name) begat (name) who begat (name), and I was genuinely baffled by how one could read such a dryyyyy medium.
Also, it didn’t help that God seemed like such a jealous Zeus type. It’s hard to be on God’s side when humans do human things like, long for a home that’s forever lost, etc.
Soooo “it all kinda depends.” I believe a part of it is how ADHD manifests in the person and the coping mechanisms they’ve found that works along with whether or not there are pre-existing habits/emotional baggage that may impact its effectiveness.
There are actually, there are a few decent brands of nonstimulant ADHD drugs, with one brand being more popular among my ADHD diagnosed friends cause it works and doesn’t give them liver problems. I’m also not a doctor/talk to a doctor about these options.
I’m personally very bad at focusing during conversations in person and in general, even on tv/movies and rely on captions to focus. If I can, I like to jot down notes where I’m fully transcribing lectures/meetings or I doodle on the side and it helps me focus on a person talking.
If I can’t, it’s a full body experience that uses all of my energy and willpower when I try to actively engage and remember key details in a conversation. This gets significantly harder at parties since there’s tons of crosstalk that tempt my attention from alllllll directions which does burn me out faaaast.
I know some people say use lists, and I think it depends on the context. I just talk at my watch to add things to a grocery list on my phone and it helps keep me organized when I go. I do the same for vacation packing so that I add to a list as things spontaneously occur to me over the course of days/weeks.
On the other hand, an ADHD friend of mine is super allergic to lists and legit will not use one and is dying to leave a store from minutes of entering/forgets what he needs to buy constantly, so sometimes there can be more to a attention deficit problem than just “are ya bad at focusing on this task?”
In the end, whether it’s working with a therapist, or yourself, trying to have a better understanding of where your struggles are (and successes!!!) will be the best first step at identifying what coping mechanisms work for you.
At the end of the day, this is just an award. It’s not up to the award giver to define and micromanage what a “safe and acceptable, or appropriate amount of gen AI” can be used in the dev process.
When competing against other titles that haven’t, regardless of how it was used, an award show is going to draw a very hard line.
I’m sure they didn’t have to go the route of using gen AI, but they chose it, and did not disclose it.
Omg my high school had 2 chem teachers and both were insane and took the class too seriously. The first week was making us memorize the elements and being drilled in almost daily tests to see if we could write them down.
By the end of the week, my teacher said if you didn’t have at least an 8/10 from her quizzes, to basically change classes. She and the other teacher often went overtime and ignored the period ending bell which pissed off a lot of other teachers.
The periodic table of elements was on a paper that she’d roll up during our quizzes and for the rest of the year, we had to take our quizzes with the assumption that we’ve memorized the tables and could do equations and conversions with no references. The class had to be graded on a curve since most of us 16 year olds had other school work to focus on.
In the end, I think no one from those classes ever became a chem major. It certainly made me hate it.

Ooo that’s dope! There are farms that grow em in my area but I always thought it was interesting that people aren’t as into growing them at home.
I guess if one didn’t have a ton of space, a lemon tree is really handy haha.
Whoa!!! I love apricots! For some reason, it’s not a popular tree to grow at home in comparison to lemon, lime, plum, fig, or even loquat.
Is the care/climate needs similar to other stone fruits?

Good luck.
Hah! I knew I recognized that pedestrian bridge!
Omg! Some love for Huun Huur Tu! My friends and I discovered them on accident (although, we do like The Hu) and they’re so good!
Oh yeah, good catch! The only clear text is the instagram handle and it’s literally an AI slop account that specializes in AI dog shows.
Yes.
I can’t quite sleuth it well enough, but it appears there’s lots of places like this.
One example is in Kaua’i. It’s too inland of a location compared to the image posted though.

Young? I’d take young over dementia riddled. Besides, this country desperately needs fresh leadership and engagement from people who are younger.
If Emanuel Macron became French President at 39, I’m sure there’s no issue with AOC being 38 by 2028.
While the exhibit is open to the public, the article specifies that the files contain unredacted names and are not available to be viewed by the general public.
That’s not to say the exhibit won’t be impactful.
Dude, I think that’s called depression? 💀✨

Aw, I like Laufey 😭😭
I gotta say, with all the ADHD stuff I’ve seen, it’s lowkey kinda nice seeing something silly 🤣🤣👌
