The limit for the size of the file you can upload is much larger!

Or…say…the full text of The Crucible, or some other helpful and largish file!

Excellent suggestion. Sent some quotes and uploaded a .pdf of the full text. Hope they find it educational!

Sounds pretty normal to me!

I also believe very strongly that as our society grows more facist and dystopian, the genuine human connections people find in communities like our churches, however tiny, are going to be of supreme importance. I really think we need to focus on doing what we do well, better and more inclusively.

I feel we are carelessly and clumsily trying to jump onto a bandwagon that a) is long gone, and b) we don’t want to be on anyway.

Thank you. Done and reposted. I agree that there is no ethical way to use generative AI, and I am ASTOUNDED that I had to write “intellectual property concerns inherent in the training and use of AI in general” into the survey myself under “other.”

TL;DR: We ALL gave Meta a broad-based license to use any content we post in almost any way they want when we created an account. The only way to deny Meta the use of your content is to delete (not deactivate) your accounts.

I think about that all the time. Also how Obama didn’t walk back the massive extra power given to the Executive Branch after 9/11. And then neither did Biden.

So on the nose it’s almost scary! Thank you, Dr. Person, for your insightful take on what is always going on!

Now if only they resolve things with their workers and don’t go on strike…

And I do wonder what kind of response my mom would get right now, nevermind in the future, if she made the same kind of complaint. Her incident happened about 10 years ago, when being mean to an old lady trying to help the homeless would still have been bad publicity for the police.

I agree. When my mom was pushed, she went and yelled at the police all the way up to the chief, and the guys who shoved her came back and apologized. I doubt those kind of checks exist for ICE.

Only if they are trained to do so, and believe in the project, and are willing to take on some amount of personal risk. My mother, who is a Catholic Worker, once got physically shoved aside by regular police who didn’t listen to her when she told them they couldn’t enter her space without a warrant.
