Thanks, OK glad the point came across even though I’m low-information on parties who aren’t quite yet relevant
Does ring true dunnit?
Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person"
and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.
I’ll put them top of my ranked choice ballot
Capitalism’s great!
Could’ve been triage - deferring maintenance to make payroll. Everything suffering as they try to stay alive. (random speculation 100%)
If it’s an LLM, why wouldn’t it respond better to the initial responses?
84% of this summary was better than mine
Good bot
Software that promises to detect AI-produced text fails to deliver.
![ChatGPT outperforms undergrads in intro-level courses, falls short later](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3c19f482-1956-4b4d-8e7e-f64eff1e13cb.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Researchers create 30 fake student accounts to submit model-generated responses to real exams. Professors grade the 200 or 1500 word responses from the AI undergrads and gave them better grades than real students 84% of the time. 6% of the bot respondents did get caught, though... for being too good. Meanwhile, AI detection tools? Total bunk.
Will AI be the new calculator... or the death of us all (obviously the only alternative).
Note: the software was NOT as good on the advanced exams, even though it handled the easier stuff.

Joe should’ve told ‘em how he really felt.
Wow, I’m impressed. Thanks for sharing that.
Great. Other free filing is acceptable. And folks will be kinda used to it from the get go.
So about 20-27 states will refuse then
I want to choose to fund lobbyists working against me to make every April a little bit harder and more expensive :(
Hope we’re big enough to that to happen someday heh
Even if we verified with social security (govt. ID) numbers, there’d still be astroturfers. Even with IRL KYC (e.g. must be invited by an existing user who swears they met you in meatspace), there still would be. Ahhh!!! We decide where we’ll marry the love of our lives, the retirement community we’ll put grandma in, where we want to vacation or just share lunch based on online reviews/discourse. Badly wish we had a fix.
I believe admins have access to just about everything including PMs.
I would guess that for some people, shocking a hundred users before a mod can delete a post would feel like a win in their feeble & deranged minds, so reactive controls (while very important) have a limit to their value.
Don’t have any suggestion here haha just hoping folks behave and weirdos keep it to 4chan.
Sickos probably have TOR :-/ Hopefully not, I’d definitely report to whoever comes up first on a web search for that (there are a couple organizations, also I think the FBI).

A pamphlet from the New Mexico Beef Council that says “Learn About Beef With The Beef Kids” and shows four children in front of a barn that says “BEEF ✔️”
So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.
In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

A three-panel comic strip. In the first panel, a man in a suit (Alex Jones) is sitting at a desk with a banner behind him that says "Info Wars". Offscreen, someone says "Cut!! That's a wrap for today!"
In the second panel, “later”, Jones asks a green frog washing dishes "Everything ok, babe?"
In the third panel, the frog cries and demands "How long do we have to hide who we are??"

> Pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females
> Atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.
> The 75 percent that are chemically castrated are essentially “dead” because of their inability to reproduce in the wild, reports UC Berkeley’s Tyrone B. Hayes, professor of integrative biology.

Brad Thornborrow 14h @stephenrobles Hey, I have ethical reservations regarding OpenAl in general. Is there an option in the new OS versions where we can disable ChatGPT integration entirely?
Stephen Robles 13h @bradthornborrow Yes, Craig Federighi discussed in last night's talk show. It's off by default, and only prompts to turn on if you ask for something Apple Intelligence won't do. But you can disable that prompt entirely and never use ChatGPT

Social Media Post: Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

I highlighted what I might have wanted to carry over to a more professional rewrite. (If the filename was real, I'd sanitize it so as not to single out any one employee, but I do think it's an effective example.)
Using these powerful tools
>is lazy, unprofessional, and could result in a catastrophically expensive, embarrassing mistake
if someone's not careful :)

OK, this is kinda funny. I wanted to make sure I'd actually seen this in WWDC. Turns out they showed a different rewrite (embedded below):
I think I see what happened. The [macOS] rewrite shown is more 1:1, but comes out sounding goofy (very LLM). On their site, they didn't want to show that, but then they used an [iOS] rewrite that missed e.g. the filename used as an example. Even someone skimming the email should see that filename was garbage and be afraid of getting called out in a meeting for typing a name like that in the future, so I think it's a miss not to have it.
Not to make a mountain out of a small example or two, but I do hope folks are aware they'd do best to read every word of anything generated for them. Reminds me: I'm excited for that word-by-word suggestion feature as it allows for one-by-one modifications to be very intentionally made.

Post: My attention has been drawn to this packaging design from HP, which presumably someone approved. Image: In a brown cardboard box sits a shipment inside a protecting wrapper. The wrapper is illustrated with two hands with index fingers extended, indicating that you should put your fingers in the hole in the middle of the wrapper and tear it apart.
Edit: if you’re too young (or innocent?) to immediately understand the reference, DO NOT web search

Translation:
>You will come to London. Behold, I warn you, whatever of evil or of perversity (behavior or beliefs that are considered immoral or unnatural) there is in any, whatever in all parts of the world, you will find in that city alone. Do not go to the dances of panders (people who arrange sexual relationships for others), nor mix yourself up with the herds of the stews (brothels or houses of prostitution); avoid the talus (dice games) and the dice, the theatre and the tavern. You will find more braggadocios (boastful, arrogant people) there than in all France, while the number of flatterers (people who praise excessively to gain advantage) is infinite. Stage players (actors), buffoons (clowns or jesters), those that have no hair on their bodies (eunuchs, men who have been castrated, typically to serve in positions of trust around women or in royal households), Garamantes (a North African tribe), pickthanks (flatterers or sycophants), catamites (young boys used for homosexual purposes), effeminate sodomites (men who engage in anal sex), lewd musical girls, druggists (people who manufacture or dispense drugs), lustful persons, fortunetellers, extortioners (people who obtain money through force or threats), nightly strollers (people who wander the streets at night, possibly for criminal purposes), magicians, mimics (people who imitate the speech and mannerisms of others), common beggars, tatterdemalions (raggedly dressed people)—this whole crew has filled every house. So if you do not wish to live with the shameful, you will not dwell in London.
