@Job's theory is that people will not bother learning anything and just look it up on some babel fish type, all knowing thing.

As you can tell, its working out great for him.

Funnily enough, that will likely be the case for languages so will essentially be a babel fish. But not facts or sykills.

What do you mean it isnt working for me it hasnt happened yet in any meaingful way...and if you think it isnt or it wont happen then the next twenty years are going to be a big shock for you.

If implemented right it can mean individually tailored instruction to get the most out of every student, this is something the richest have had access to for centuries via tutors

Dont see it as a bad thing at all, someone still has to set up, maintain and handle the AIs, and be able to step in if they break down

Just means teachers will need to be at least somewhat competent computer scientists as well as able to teach their chosen subject

Quite simply a sufficiently connected AI that learns by itself running on a next gen computer will be the most powerful thing on the planet...it will learn in a few hours more than we have from the start of human civilisation.
Everything that we are now will have to change...Musk is correct, its will destroy the basis of our civilisation.

A good 30 people are killed annually, while walking on the pavement, by motorists. But let's focus on those lethal dangerous cyclists eh. The ones who are involved in less than one pedestrian death per year.

Oh, and...

View attachment 37580


Let's not pretend that millions of cars aren't abandoned on pavements across the country, except in London, where it's illegal to park on the pavement (it's illegal to drive along the pavement too, so all those cars must be transported there by Mr Scott).

Its not just about deaths. Obviously being hit by a bike thats lighter than a car and slower than a car usually would kill seldom. But injure people and ruin their day much.

If some dick was forcing his way along the pavement past me he might find himself having balance issues.

If some dick was forcing his way along the pavement past me he might find himself having balance issues.

I'm 45 years old and I have never, ever experienced one of these lethal cyclists who pushes past people in a pedestrianised area.

I have, however, been roundly abused and threatened with violence by motorists who seem to think that because a road doesn't have a pavement, that I should get the fuck out of their way. When actually, the legal situation is that they are required to give way to me, no matter where I walk.

 

[Scouse]

@Moriath would rather people were in very real danger rather than have a cyclist safely and politely pass near him on a pavement.

Much as I don't agree with Christians on general principles, I'm still not convinced by enabling trans kids pre-puberty; I'm always dubious about the parents' politics rather than the kid's strength of feeling.

Putting that story aside I was quite confused my self. I was always under the impression "transgender" people we're a group of people that felt they were born the wrong sex, which was realised while growing up and then tried to rectify it later life.

Not something a 6-year-old would be able to decide. Unless it's just the new cool thing to do in order for the child to be completely neutral in terms of boy and girls, which I don't quite understand how it benefits anyone either other than the hardcore politically correct crowd. I mean what problem with accepting that we are a two sex race? It's nothing to be ashamed of and has been the case since day 1.

I also read another story this week where a school has banned girls from wearing skirts so they can't be seen as favouring girls. I mean wtf is the world coming too?

 

[Job]

Its the end game of liberalism, it seems very fluffy and inclusive but unfortunately 99% of what we do culturally as a species is there to be held up against the light to see if it can be isolated and ridiculed, then they undermine it and ban it...invent a *****phobia to prosecute offenders and move on to the next cause.

 

[Gwadien]

Well, 'letting'/encouraging your kids to wear clothes of the 'opposite sex'.

How could a school dictate to parents what their children should be wearing?

Surely that's the opposite of liberalism?

Shown in the last comment of the article - from a parent of one of these "transgender" kids:

I have a child who took a lot of bullying on my behalf and that bullying was exactly the same:

See that makes it sound like her son was only bullied because she forced him to wear a skirt, becuase gender neutral innit.

That school that banned girls wearing skirts is fucking daft as well - what if the girls want to wear skirts? Now they can't to keep a small minority of people in Islington happy?

Fuck off. Let em wear what they want.

I usually agree with the things you post but in this instance I don't. It's hardly enabling trans kids pre-puberty. It could be a phase or it could be a serious issue of gender dysphoria. Either way let the kid wear what they want, let them be happy in their own skin and see how it turns out.

 

[Gwadien]

Also - Isn't this just a natural progression? - I mean 120 years ago, women ALWAYS wore a skirt, and men ALWAYS wore trousers - today, especially as you get older clothing definitely becomes more gender neutral anyway - apart from smart clothing perhaps.

Could it not be argued that this is simply a natural progression?

 

[Raven]

I think there is a bit more to it than what clothes the child has decided to wear.

The problem for me is that this kid wants to put on a skirt, for who knows what reason when you're 6, so now his parents have decided he is trans and that is that, at 6.

The Christians are massive twats (aren't they always?) but the confused kids parents aren't exactly golden either.

Problem is every time I see some story on the telly about a little Tarquin or Joquasta wearing a dress or getting all their hair cut off, there's usually one of those knit-your-own-muesli parents in the background. While parents should encourage their children to be all they can be (copyright US Army), they also have a duty of care to protect them; sending them off to get abused by the other kids fails in that duty. Now, you can certainly say that's the fault of the other kids, and you'd be entirely right, but kids are barely socialised little pricks and programmed to destroy those who don't fit in. Parents don't need to stick their boy children in a dress, they could opt for more neutral options, but they're choosing to make a political point at their kids' expense.

You're missing the whole point.

Gender neutral and trans are completely different things.

The parents even said that the kid would wear different clothes every other day = not trans = gender neutral.

Who gives a shit, they are fucking clothes. Literally pieces of fabric that you put into different designs and hang off your body. What's the issue.

See, I believe that this kind of stuff should be introduced as early as possible - kids at the age of 4-8ish don't judge and don't bully usually.

It usually starts at secondary school that's why lots of stuff that isn't 'normal' isn't picked up on because kids at secondary school age just consider it to be normal.

Things like homosexuality which comes into play at puberty does become something to bully because it's different and weird and you've probably not experienced it at first hand until you're going through puberty yourself.

The kid wore girls clothes and asked to be called a girls name (sorry, its parents asked that it be called a girls name) without gender realignment counselling and surgery that is about as trans as you can get with a fucking 6 year old.

And that comment on kids not bullying in primary school, good one. You actually claim to be a trainee teacher? You are going to get eaten alive, your naivety is frightening.

*cough* bullshit *cough*. I got physically attacked because of my accent (South African at the time) on my first day at infant school. Its one of my very earliest memories. My kids are five and seven and the bullies at school are already known to everyone.

Yes, the 'bullies of the school'

So there's always the kids that drag shit up from home and treat others in the same way - they're usually individuals or small groups.

I've seen year groups bully one kid because they've come out or something.

Wait, young kids stopped bullying since I was a kid? Because I sure as shit remember some breaks where I was at the wrong end of the stick at the very early years of my school time
