You're welcome.

Now you are playing Poloniusz producing such a long post. Can you make it shorter or summarise in a few sentences what you wrote? I don`t have time to read all of it. :):):)

the right to vote.

Now you are obfuscating. :):):)
All in all, you made a silly mistake with that szlachta not being nobles. Never mind. I am happy to be of help. Polish history is my hobby.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]

They just get it from the wholesalers like any shop.

Also. But some part of it is local production by farmers or even amateur ROD growers.

I know people who have street stalls selling fruit and veg

But you can`t know all stall sellers and owners, can you????? :):):)

Remember, AI is only a step towards something that will follow it.

Yes, I know - certain wise guy once said there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. He did it about 500 years ago. And?? Did mankind collapse because of those undreamt of things???? :):):)

99% of Poles.

Actually, not. Now you dropped a brick. :):):) Open air markets with fresh produce grown locally are much more popular in Poland than in Britain.

Wow, you're one cheap, selfish a$$hole.

Yes, I am! Because if I save on a ticket for the concert of AI celebrity singer, instead of paying 500 PLN I pay 50, it means I will have more money to myself smoked eel and salmon fish eggs which are my comfort food which helps me deal with my winter depressive moods. !!!! hahahaha

Another guy/guyess who hates smoked eel or caviar will invest this saved resources into educating their kids. Or buying their own apartment or building a house!!!

It is really strange that some people don`t understand certain basic connections in life.

By some.

Also British historians. And I don`t mean Davies. :):):)

They were mostly just fairly ordinary people

But we are talking about formal denominations, not factual condition. Szlachta was nobles and you can`t turn the tide back. :):):)

There's nothing good about it.

human creativity won't be needed at all

Stop whining about sth which is inevitable. You can`t turn the tide back. Don Quixotes never win with windmills. :):):)

Wow, you're one cheap, selfish a$$hole.

Exactly!! Thank you for reminding us about it at Easter time. hahahaha buhahaha

that I make art?

If you are talented enough, you will be still valued as an artist. If you are a poor cheap imitator of sb else`s ideas, AI will make you change your job and do sth more useful for the society at last. Isn`t it fair and simple??? hahahaha

singers, musicians, When AI creates sth artistically valuable, you won`t have to pay so much as now. Simple. :):):)

Paulina, imagine an AI celebrity singer concert the ticket for which will cost you 50 PLN instead of 500 PLN.
How many people would like to attend a concert today but can`t afford it??????

Would you call arists, writers, singers, musicians,

Are you one of them? One of creators??? No, as far as I know. So what is your problem?? You aren`t a creator but a recipient of other creators` work. Currently, you have to pay them a lot in royalties. When AI creates sth artistically valuable, you won`t have to pay so much as now. Simple. :):):)

In creative professions people actually enjoy doing their jobs. And what AI is doing is taking away the creative process and people out of the equation.

:):):) The same with industrial revolution. Earlier, artisans and craftsmen manufactured goods like pieces of art and only rich people could afford them. Machines changed that slow tedious process into assembly line efficiency. Suddenly, it turned out that a commoner could buy himself or herself a car like FORD T in the US 100 years ago. :):):)

Stuff that people love doing being taken over by AI. That's just... f*cking sad.

It is irrevocable. Are you going to destroy AI like factory workers used to destroy their machines??? :):):) And how is it going to change anything? :):):)

Whining and moaning about AI is as fruitless activity as protesting against cars which started replacing horse cabs in late 19th century. :):):)

considered themselves

I also added: are considered but you prefered to skip it nor comment on the entry I quoted.

Check another description which suggests that szlachta is the same as nobles:

Ranging from the poorest landless yeomen to the great magnates, the szlachta insisted on the equality of all its members.

Don`t thank me for educating you, it is my pleasure. :):):)

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

AI enters education!

What do I think of it? Well, it is helpful for weaker students who lack imagination and are unable to write a final exam text, either an email/blog entry or a longer essay/article/formal letter on their own coz they are completely devoid of ideas. And it isn`t the problem with their English, they aren`t able to write such a text even in Polish which is a real tragedy.

That is why I encourage those less proficient students to use AI ChatGPT site to have a nice text written. Later on they need to learn it - either my heart or by mind, whatever, and write it on a short exam in our class. Each year they take about 6-7 such text writing exams which I dutifully correct and mark. There is a chance that after writing two or 3 dozen of them before the final exam they will eventually find enough ideas in their heads to compose their own production in the time of trial.

You don't care about others

I can`t care about all humans. My monkey heart is too small for that. That is why I care about my family mostly. :):):)

Many people will only start caring when AI comes for their jobs.

That`s a standard course of human development - sth old and obsolete is replaced by sth new, better and more efficient. Once, industrial machines and steam engine made a revolution in human manufacturing. Do you still regret that machines were introduced in 18th century Britain??? :):):)

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

Instead of making poppy seed cake (I am still sort of reluctant) I made another dish. For myself, mostly.
What exactly? Here it is in the initial state, right after adding and mixing everything but before putting on the cooker.

Hint: it isn`t tatar raw steak!

middle class (szlachta)

Now you are using some socialist terms. Stop it, it is senseless. Szlachta considered themselves and are considered nobles, too. You`d better read some history books. ):):)

The szlachta ,(Polish: [ˈʂlaxta] ⓘ; Lithuanian: šlėkta) were the noble estate of the realm in the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

So your daily use of

Is it a sin to copy and paste a couple of lines from an article ?

No, it isn`t. But it is a sin starting your copy/paste with:Here is my way of doing sthand not marking your quote with italics or at least inverted commas. Sorry, but you would be sent back home with your dissertation or MA thesis if you were so negligent on credits and references. :):):)

PS. BTW, guyesses and guys, there is an old riddle in post 152! If not foreigners, then native Polesses and Poles - show your intelligence and knowledge of Polish veg!!! hahahaha

in the past, like 100 years ago, pouring crude water onto people on Wet Monday was considered primitive, good for commoners in rural areas.
Polish elites like nobles and even urban residents used to splash the other sex with perfume or at least eau de cologne.

Eaten many, have you?

Nop, none. But I have read many comments on tasteless tomatoes available in Britain. Ha!!!

they also have as much sugar

Excellent! Polish Hawai Pizza needs that flavour a lot!

Polish ketchup is horrible

It is obvious you don`t know what you are saying now. Your taste buds have been destroyed by decades of devouring junk food in the US. You have no idea what good tasty food means after tons of burgers and hot dogs made from crappy stuff with 10% meat content and 90% various artificial additives and preservatives. Ha!!!! hahahaha

I ever ate in my life was in Poland.

You have never been here, stop daydreaming. A trip to Europe is too expensive for you. hahahaha

Please go to Italy

Why should I go to Italy if I live in Poland where you have never been??? :):):) I don`t need Italian pizza, I want my Polish Hawaian one! Ha!

I know British ketchup when I taste it and hate it, Polish ketchup was almost as disgusting.

Exactly! The same company located in the suburbs of East London made your cheap prole British and counterfeit Polish ketchup! It shows you have never really tried true Polish ketchup! Polish tomatoes are the best in Europe. Your British tomatoes smell and taste like rotten in comparison. :)::)
