Got the documentation for the dice parser software online and now I can close the laptop and relax a bit. I think it still needs some cleaning up, but it's good enough for now.
Duolingo is getting weirder and weirder since they went all in on #ai
I stopped doing most of the lessons and just did a word a day as a keepie-up. But, er.
Araña means chandelier? Tea translated to merianda instead of té, this actually makes sense to me as a northern brit, but who else is going to think tea means snack time?
Weird words with weird uses and not in a fun way, in an ai slop kinda way.

1. Puerto Rico has enacted the most extreme trans ban in America, with a ban up to the age of 21 years old. It may even have penalties for parents, according to local organizers. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
2. Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer González Colón, a Trump Republican, signed the most severe ban on gender-affirming care anywhere in the US. It criminalizes providing trans care to anyone under the age of 21, even with consenting parents. This can include 15 years in prison, a $50,000 fine.
3. President of the Puerto Rico LGBTQ+ Federation, Pedro Julio Serrano, told Erin in the Morning that because the law was intentionally “vague,” it opens up the very real possibility that not only doctors, but also affirming parents of trans people, could be prosecuted under this law.
4. It also directs the Department of Education and Department of Health to wage an “educational” campaign focusing on the “risks” associated with trans-affirming health care, geared towards parents, medical providers, and the “general community.”
5. This means adolescents and young adults currently on puberty blockers or HRT to treat gender dysphoria are legally required to medically detransition, the results of which could be dangerous and devastating for many young adults and their families.

LOL at the replies from cultists from the Holy Reformed Church of his Holiness LLM in my mentions. I’m on a 18,000km journey without a shower or a change of clothes, and AI geniuses are making my life worse. Please, shill your religion.
That's better than expected. My experience with AI applied here would be "Go to the (non existent) gate and take the (non existent) flight and receive the (non existent) refund."
