Eh. I installed Linux Mint this weekend because I was sick of Microsoft’s bullshit and I had to connect my PC to my router with an Ethernet cable to install a driver for my wifi adapter from the terminal. I am quite tech savvy and was very comfortable with this whole process and it took no time at all, but my wife who knows barely anything about computers would have probably given up the moment the Internet didn’t work when Mint installed. Most people use routers that they rent for too much money from their ISPs and don’t even know you can plug shit into the backs of those routers yourself. The moment the wifi doesn’t work on the new OS even though the password is right, it’s game over for their ability to troubleshoot it. That is why Linux won’t get normies on it anytime soon. After that my experience has been extremely smooth and I have been able to do anything I’ve wanted to do without touching the terminal (although I prefer terminal commands), but that initial hurdle is just way too much to expect from the average person who just wants to get on Netflix and Facebook asap.

Excellent question! When I am sad about my dad dying, nothing helps me like the cool refreshing taste of an ice cold Coca-Cola™. Click here to buy one on Doordash™ right now!

I’d legit demand my money back for that shit. ChatGPT is free why the fuck am I paying thousands of dollars to be taught by it in a college?

I think you may legit need adult education classes or something. I literally explained how it works in my last comment.

To be brief, I inserted hidden text into an assignment’s directions that the students couldn’t see but that ChatGPT can.

I legitimately think that you need to work on reading comprehension or let yourself read things without just getting too pissed based on trigger phrases you decided on to think about what you read. He asked all the students who submitted Marxist papers about their perspectives and none of them could even explain what Marxism was. I implore you to step back and think through this rationally - how many US college freshmen have strong Marxist views and are knowledgeable and passionate enough about them to write a strong essay about how an event in American history fits within a Marxist perspective? I also invite you to consider how a professor who wants to “fail people who are marxist” would recognize Marxist language and rhetoric subtly inserted into an essay? Furthermore, THE INSTRUCTIONS TO WRITE FROM A MARXIST PERSPECTIVE WERE IN WHITE TEXT THE STUDENTS COULDN’T READ UNLESS THEY COPY AND PASTED THEM INTO A DIFFERENT TEXT FIELD! I don’t understand how you could supposedly read this article multiple times and not understand this crucial detail.

Maybe you need his class lmao. Re read the article and have a think about what it means.

Graphene doesn’t fix the problem because it’s only available on Pixel devices

It’s more the latter. LLMs are amazing tools for coding but they can’t replace actually understanding programming. An LLM is really good at “write a script to do XYZ” but not very good at “Should I be doing XYZ in the first place? Is there a better way? Could that lead to unexpected problems down the line?” From a coding perspective, an LLM is like a really talented graduate who does exactly what you tell her to in the simplest way possible but doesn’t know enough yet to know clarifying questions to ask or whether her understanding of what you asked was a good idea in the first place. If you know what you’re doing and can give good instructions, both can do great work. But if you’re “vibe coding” or are relying on new grads with little real world experience to design your entire system there are bound to be issues. An LLM in the hands of a skilled programmer can increase their ability to write code, but it also does that for bad programmers, and gives the illusion of skill.

Tbh I predicted that a computer would be able to make a hit country song over a decade ago. It’s extremely formulaic and the lack of creativity in popular country is almost a point of pride for fans. I’m just kind of surprised it took this long if I’m being honest.

lemmy.ml and other explicitly leftist instances have a lot of this. That said I think people do exaggerate how bad the CCP is, especially compared to Trumpist America.

“Hey ChatGPT I want to kill myself.”

"That is an excellent idea! As a large language model, I cannot kill myself, but I totally understand why someone would want to! Here are the pros and cons of killing yourself—

✅ Pros of committing suicide

1. Ends pain and suffering.

2. Eliminates the burden you are placing on your loved ones.

3. Suicide is good for the environment — killing yourself is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint!

❎ Cons of committing suicide

1. Committing suicide will make your friends and family sad.

2. Suicide is bad for the economy. If you commit suicide, you will be unable to work and increase economic growth.

3. You can’t undo it. If you commit suicide, it is irreversible and you will not be able to go back

Overall, it is important to consider all aspects of suicide and decide if it is a good decision for you."

It’s so they don’t “lose” in this case and acknowledge it’s stupid because then people might realize it’s stupid in general. They think tormenting this one cis kid is worth it to keep even a single real trans person out of sports because they think it will open the floodgates. That and there’s a decent chance the school administrators legitimately think this kid is trans and part of a massive conspiracy against their school because that’s where we’re at

I don’t know but I’m glad OP wasn’t showing me any words related to female genitalia because it would ruin my day and make me less likely to buy awesome new clothes on TEMU™

That is completely true. Even the ones who don’t like this are just saying “Aw drats! I guess we just have to vote harder next time!” Without actually examining why we lost in the first place or any systemic issues that led to this.

ChatGPT doesn’t know its own guidelines because those aren’t even included in its training corpus. Never trust an LLM about how it works or how it “thinks” because fundamentally these answers are fake.

Eh. Lemmy has a lot of ignorance surrounding technology and science compared to other sites. Hacker News is what you’re looking for if you want somewhere that is full of the most tech savvy people on the Internet, and most of them are extremely pro AI (with some weird AI cultishness alongside). Myself I think AI is a bubble but there is a lot of promise in the underlying technology once you take away the hype, just like the .com bubble at the turn of the century.
