  • “He’s telling us not to use it, and then he’s using it himself”

    Just because the teacher might have screwed up doesn’t change that experts in a subject can assess LLM output, while a student who knows jack shit about the topic can’t. Just because the teacher messed up and let ai weirdness degrade the quality of education in the eyes of students, doesn’t mean just anyone can use chatgpt to generate college courses.

    I read the original article but not the interview. I wonder how much communication there was about the work before the student decided they deserved a refund.


  • I assume they are frustrated and they’re talking about how a good heroic outcome has sinister alternatives at every fork in the road. Different people react differently and the people who heroically soldier on are not simply saving the day, they are like an extension of dangerous policy. They’re never going to talk to the controller so it’s more general I think. Like “don’t be a hero, don’t be like this guy, if your bosses create a deadly environment then walk away”

    Edit: I can be hypocritical and an asshole so if I say try assuming people are correct, might want to just ignore me.





  • When I was homeless I littered in the city. Being homeless around poor people is like being poor around billionaires. You have no pride in keeping their lands pristine. The upper class hits you with their cars, block crosswalks, talk shit about you, provide no accommodations. The upper class acts like it’s a fucking pain to help you and they attribute every little problem to your class.

    But also, the city installs trash cans spaced 15-20 minutes apart, while allowing garbage piles to stay on corners for days or weeks.

    I think it was probably the third or fourth time a poor person nearly hit me and reacted angrily like I fucked up for using a crosswalk at 6am, that I went from keeping trash in my pockets and thinking ones actions reflects on them, to throwing trash on the ground and denting cars when they narrowly avoided hitting me. (As an aside, it sucks when you kick their side mirror and it just folds instead of breaking.)





  • Does your comment make sense as a response to my comment?

    I’m confused why the devs stuck their head in the jaws of a sue happy monster. I ask, “But what was the point? What did they plan to happen?”

    And you tell me Nintendo shouldn’t own mechanics? Like… I know that. I am so used to people misunderstanding me, that I specifically go back and add a huge banner saying “I agree with you.” I can call Nintendo assholes, call copyright broken, paint the devs as good but naive, and I still get “listen here, Nintendo is bad. Copyright is broken.”


  • What the hell is wrong with you? Did I say Nintendo ought to be allowed to drive drunk? Or did I express confusion at why someone stepped in front of the speeding drunk? I’m fucking tired of “oh you defended him? What do you love him?” bullshit.

    Sorry I didn’t just shake my magic 8 ball and generate a pithy comment like you (probably) did. Here, I’ll shake my ball and write what comes up.

    Nintendo is fucking scum. I want a competitor to Pokemon. Copyright laws are broken. Lawyers! LAWYERS!!




  • Firefox used to have a “we’re a browser that won’t sell user data” promise. Then they changed their TOS and removed the promise, adding:

    When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."

    When people reacted to their TOS they said it was an accident, it’s just boilerplate, don’t take it seriously.

    Or in other words: an entity with a team of lawyers claimed ownership of all your data, and then downplayed it, and then has acted good since.

    Personally I stick my head way into the alligators mouth and still use Firefox.
