Student fails degree for using AI
  • Depends on the university policy. To me, I don't see any difference between certain AI use and plagiarism. And plagiarism ought to result in expulsion.

    As an instructor, however, it is increasingly difficult being 100% certain someone is using an LLM. While the easy spot is usually shorter paragraphs and a final hedging paragraph (the one paragraph that OpenAI included so they won't be liable if shit goes south), there is still no way to be sure.

    So instead, I just have to begrudgingly nod along as my engineering students dump awful, boring AI texts on me.

  • Are you still enjoying F1 this season?
  • This season is a bit of a snoozer no doubt. Even 2020 was more fun because the rest of the field was so crazy tight that anyone could get a podium if one of the top 3 had a DNF.

    This year the hierarchy is very obvious, so less chance for anything crazy or unexpected happening.

  • The Verge reacting to Reddit's spokesperson trying to discredit them
  • I mean to be fair, I imagine when communities were in blackout things were looking dire. I haven't been to reddit since, but I imagine things are pretty much back to normal? So it's clear he can sort of spit on the reddit userbase how much he wants. People will still come back.

  • The emails that highlight how far behind Williams is in F1
  • Really makes you wonder what sort of operation they've been running at Williams.

    Working in project management and even organizational communication, these feel like relatively simple issues to fix. Sure there is cost involved, but compared to producing a car, I feel like the costs would be relatively small.

    It just seems like Williams neglected knowledge management. They wouldn't be the first company consisting of primarily engineers to completely ignore anything related to social science.

  • AI-generated Secret Invasion intro angers Marvel artists and fans alike
  • They are, but change is scary. And many will likely lose their jobs - especially those who refuse to learn how to use it.

    It's not all sunshine and rainbows for creatives currently, but it isn't all dystopia either. A regular schmuck could never produce the same work as a professional, even with AI.

    Sure, you can pump out a bunch of stuff, and some of it might look really good, but in the end, if you want precision, you're going to want an artist.

  • So when will Perez get the boot?
  • I think your logic is slightly flawed. If your driver is aiming to be second best, then they're already spent. You can't have Perez out there looking to be just slightly worse than Max. You want him to think he can win, always hovering in the vicinity, but never offering a real threat (just like Bottas).

    I think the reason why Gasly and Albon failed so spectacularly is because they were both told, "don't even try and beat Max, just get close" and they were too inexperienced and insecure to say "fuck that".

    If Checo now believes he can't beat Max, that is probably the reason he isn't even close to P2 anymore. Because no matter what he does, he will ascribe his failures to "not being as good as Verstappen".

  • Who is the most likely driver to win a race this season other than the Redbull drivers?

    Assuming neither Redbull driver finishes, who is the most likely driver to win a race? Alonso seems like the obvious choice, but with Mercedes looking strong, who knows?

    What would happen if Stroll recovers and wins before Alonso? What sort of meltdown are we looking at?

    Kosovo Says Serbia 'Kidnaps' Three Police Officers In Volatile North
    www.rferl.org Pristina Says Serbia 'Kidnaps' Three Police Officers In North Kosovo; Belgrade Says Arrest Took Place On its Territory

    Pristina has accused Serbian forces of "kidnapping" three police officers in the predominantly Serb northern part of Kosovo, where tensions have been running high for weeks over the installation of ethnic Albanian mayors in the region.

    It looks like a lot of people think the blackout is pointless and support Reddit's choice
  • The funny thing is, if reddit's app wasn't such a raging piece of garbage, I might have considered staying. But because it's such a putrid waste of space I literally just cannot use the site any more.

    When RIF goes, so does reddit for me. I primarily use the site on my phone, so a good app is vital. And if none exists, then, well... What to do?

    Then again, if it wasn't this, then I am sure they have removed old.reddit instead. And for the few times I am on my PC to look at reddit, I would not have been able to stomach it.

    TLDR; the reddit app is genuinely an affront to all things sacred in the world.

  • Avowed was originally pitched as Obsidian's take on Skyrim
  • The trailer looks great, but I know better than to trust trailers at this stage.

    Skyrim is popular because of its modding capabilities. I would have never touched it after the first 60 hours if it didn't have a great modding community.

    If you want a similar cow to milk, you have to be prepared to invest into creating good modding tools.

  • When I use the controlnet preprocessor I only get this output? Anyone know why?
  • This is not the output from when I generate, rather the preprocessor output. The generated images turn out fine, just nothing like the controlnet input.

    This is from using the lineart preprocessor.

    Edit: I use runpod, so this happened on a 4090, I think, but I am not sure about what other system specs.

  • Is there any interest in DCC one-shots using non-OSR aesthetics?

    I've started running DCC recently, and I am honestly having the time of my life with it. All the issues I had with 5e have vanished up in smoke.

    While I do enjoy running premade adventures, I also like creating my own structured one shots that follow a more structured narrative. However, not being an artist, I primarily rely on dungeondraft and maybe even AI art to create my adventures. Is there any interest in this sort of aesthetic if I were to share my adventures? Most of the time, it feels like a big part of the OSR draw is that it keeps to its roots not only in terms of mechanics but also the way it presents itself visually?

    Looking to hear some opinions. :)

    When I use the controlnet preprocessor I only get this output? Anyone know why?

    As per the title, when I input an image, and have controlnet create a preview it outputs images like this? I used the lineart preprocessor for this one specifically, but similar things happen with depth as well.

    Actually running controlnet obviously does not net the results one would expect either.

    Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

    Reddit down amid major protest
  • It's a bit hard to subscribe to different instances if you're on a separate server etc. I hope it gets easier. Once you're subscribed though, it feels like reddit pretty much. Just hope the saints that post content start using Lemmy.
