New study on the effects of LLM use (in this case on essay writing):

arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

Quote:

"LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning."

The interesting thing is: People who used search engines (to find sources etc) did not show similar issues. This is an important antidote against the belief that LLM-based tools are just like search engines. Which they are not. They are massively degrading their users' mental abilities and development. Which is why these systems have absolutely no place even _near_ any school or university.

For context, just look at the power couple in action.

Can’t vouch for the marriage thing, though.

A post from a “questionable source” showing both Daisy and Luigi competing in Mario Kart and doing the “Death Stare”. Accompanied by the caption, “They’re married”.

It is widely accepted that Daisy and Peach are a couple, as hinted in numerous Nintendo games featuring the two. Although, their marital status has not been confirmed.

I love that Daisy does the Luigi death stare now.

The solarpunk thread I posted yesterday (climatejustice.social/@breadan) elicited some interesting reactions, with at least one commenter suggesting that punks and anarchists can’t *possibly* contribute anything constructive or beneficial to civilized society.

So today this cartoon seems appropriate…

#History #Economics #Environment #Climate #ClimateChange #Degrowth #SolarPunk

Seven-panel comic strip depicting a reactionary response to the premise of anarchism. Two wealthy-looking men in long coats and top hats say the following as they observe the actions of anarchists:

OH NO, ANARCHISTS! 

OH NO! THEY ARE CONSTRUCTING A SOCIETY BASED ON MUTUAL AID!

OH NO! THEY ARE ABOLISHING PROPERTY RELATIONS AND TREATING EVERYONE AS EQUALS! 

OH NO! THEY ARE ENSURING EVERYONE'S NEEDS ARE MET THROUGH COOPERATION!

OH NO! THEY ARE LIBERATING WOMEN! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW, SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE! 

When the police come, they handcuff a woman and beat up the anarchists.

THAT WILL SHOW THESE DAMN VIOLENT ANARCHISTS TO NOT DISRUPT PEACEFUL, CIVIL SOCIETY!

I retract what I wrote about the ergonomics of in handheld.

Surprisingly, it’s more comfortable for me than the OG or OLED. It sits in my hands better and does not leave me with pain after long sessions.

I’ve played a bunch of hours this week in handheld, no problem. *YMMV

I still think the screen is great. I don’t seem to have all the ghosting present on many panels, or I just don’t notice it.

Battery life has been solid, too.

Speakers could be punchier.

Revised HD Rumble rocks.

I feel like there are a lot of joyless gamers nowadays. Like games are only about trophies and completion to them.

A coworker told me they thought was trash because some Tik-Tok talking head hated Free Roam, saying there was nothing to do. To which I replied, “I think they’re missing the point.” Not to mention the P switches.

Free Roam is there to encourage exploration, experimentation. To try new things and discover. You don’t “win” Free Roam. I think that bothers some people.

I’ve tried to explain this POV to people in the past. (and many Bethesda games) are sandboxes for you to play and make your own story.

Some friends have told me point blank, they need a game to make it up for them, or they can’t enjoy it. Meanwhile, I’ve played every vanilla background for the dialog choices and gave all my toons head canon backstories. The best characters survive to…well, do the final game mechanic—no spoilers.

Different strokes, I guess.🤷🏻‍♀️

Coming up on the 3K hour mark in .

I find myself in the group of folks who regard it as a cozy game. It’s just comfortable. Like sweatpants and a hot coffee on a rainy day.

Build ships and outposts, craft and loot, maybe pirate a ship here or there. 🙄 Y’know, cozy.

Highest character is on her 34th unity trip, mid 600s. Don’t know how I got here, but you can guarantee it involved a lot of adaptive frames and dead xenos, lol.

Wonder how much time I’ve spent modifying gear and ships?

So... Would anyone be interested in an interactive map app for Mario Kart World? 👀

Day 4: I can see why they released at launch with . It’ll have no problem holding many folks over while S2 games trickle out.

Free Roam is a delightful addition to Mario Kart I’ve already spent hours on, and a surprisingly chill way to play an otherwise hectic game.

I’m loving cruising around, unlocking outfits and stickers, new karts. It’s a really nice way to explore tracks, work on tricks, learn how a kart handles.

Quite the change of pace from traditional MK fare.
