Whew, late night hauling angry bees.@ai6yr Also, tell me more about this strategy of destroying a queen and allowing a more rational leader to emerge. Sounds like it may have potential for broader application...

Whew, late night hauling angry bees.@ai6yr Wait. So now the BEES are selecting aggressive, angry leaders as well? Will the spread of fascism never stop?

“We can’t sell it so we’re giving it to you for free” does not sound to me like “compensation”.@mhoye I mean.... in the 1960s my father worked for the British National Coal Board and part of his compensation was coal we used to heat our house.
Can AI workers somehow burn compute tokens to keep warm in winter?

Doing some basic math on tuition in Ontario for this week's course on the history of the university.@brian_gettler I was an undergrad and student activist when Axelrod's book was published, and my copy is still on my bookshelf. I am now an undergrad again*, 40 years later, and it seems that every trend he identified (plummeting public funding, loss of accessibility, offloading of costs to students) has predictably continued. Definitely needs an update -- if you decide to write it I will be amongst the first in line to buy a copy.

Doing some basic math on tuition in Ontario for this week's course on the history of the university.@chris @brian_gettler In addition, international students are limited to working for pay 24 hours per week while in Canada. And they are not allowed to carry hours over. So if a student works a part time job only 12 hours per week during the school year (because, y'know, SCHOOL) they can still not exceed 24 hours per week during term breaks.
So now it is closer to working 4 years to earn enough to pay 1 year of school.
