@thezenlady@social.vivaldi.net Across the border in southeast Kansas, there's a company that wants to drill deep bore-holes and build small nuclear reactors to run at the bottom... In a region that just rejected a major solar and wind project.

There are no such things as entry-level positions anymore. Partially because of churn, partially because of specific specialized job training in lieu of higher education, and partially because employers just can't be bothered anymore.

Replying to @asakiyume@wandering.shop
@asakiyume@wandering.shop Possibly the hardest I ever laughed was at a Tom Paxton Wolf Trap concert. He introduced his song about Jimmy Carter's rabbit incident, the chorus of which starts, "I don't want a bunny-wunny in my wittle woahboat, in my wittle woahboat in the pond" and he stopped, and taught us all the chorus, line by line. Then he got us all singing it, joyfully, and after we were were done he looked up at us and said "it's *amazing* what people will do if you just ask them to" and went on singing.

There's a "GenAI is antisemitic because it wants me to miss the High Holidays" joke in there somewhere...

GenAI doesn't know anything: it has no concept of a fact, or a calendar, or a religion, or a tradition. All it has is associations, and it has no way to 'fact-check' or correct its errors (which is doesn't actually understand) if those errors are supported by the dataset it has absorbed.

"I’m not one of these people who, rightly or wrongly, thinks that the atomic bombing of Japan is a moral referendum for the honor of the United States. ... “What exactly did Harry Truman know and not know about the atomic bombings?” is the kind of question that appeals to me, and as the book indicates, I think you get a very different answer to a lot of other questions once you ask it."

@kytta Oh, that could be the answer to our problem: Chestnut Street is mislabeled in Google Maps as "Chesnut" street along much of its length (but not all of it: the north side of town is fine). I've submitted many notes to them, but now I've done an Open Street Map note, as well.
