Please sneer at this article. I thought it was pissweak myself.
We're going to be answering two essay questions in an in-class test instead of writing a paper this year specifically to prevent chat gpt abuse. Which he laughed and joked about because he really believes chat gpt can produce good results !
It was there and gone fairly quickly and I wouldn't say I'm a model student so I didn't say anything. I've talked to him about Chat GPT before though...
Did the human pet guy write this
He's using it to give examples of exam question answers. The embarrassment
My professor is typing questions into chat gpt in class rn be so fucking for real
I hope it's just a stunt. If they're serious the US could be in (even more) trouble
I somehow hate these losers more for trying to have their cake and eat it.
From the Small Mercies desk: remember Simone Collins was running for office in Pennsylvania? Well, she lost her campaign. Here's a piece about her from the Inquirer.
It's the glitz of Catholicism with fewer of those pesky liberals around.
Also, some Orthodox monasteries had an enslaved workforce until well into the 19th century, which must appeal to neoreactionary scum.
I happened to be at mass today. There was a little explanation in the missalette that not only did Jesus's death redeem the sins of everyone today, he also redeemed all the sinners who lived and died before Christ came. I dunno, it reminded me of the Roko's Basilisk eternal judgment computer simulation....
People enjoy making amateur diagnoses of public figures, and people enjoy feeling like they're superior to neurodivergent people.
Questions To Which the Answer is No, an ongoing series:
Generative AI - Can it actually help with the day-to-day technical work of a practising engineer?
The upcoming Autumn Panel Discussion hosted by the UCD Engineering Graduates Association (EGA) will take place on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at ESB's Headquarters. This event will explore several pressing topics at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence. Attendees will gain insights into current trends in AI, particularly the latest advancements in generative AI tools and platforms. The discussion will feature case studies that highlight the successful integration of AI into real-world engineering processes, offering practical examples of its applications. Additionally, the panel will address the essential skills that engineers need to effectively incorporate AI into their workflows, providing guidance on upskilling for the future. The event will conclude with a Q&A session, allowing participants to engage directly with the panelists and delve deeper into the ethical considerations surrounding AI in engineering.
No, not software engineers, engineer engineers. Yikes!
You'll hear no complaint from me.
The Martians seem to think that Mars will be like a new colony, with all the "hope" that implies, but it seems to me that colonization was a wretched process for many of the colonists (to say nothing of the people being colonized). Musk is only cheerful about it because he thinks he'll be whipping the slaves rather than working the arid red soil.
Forced to endure an episode of an Irish tv programme about the environment in which a guest sincerely listed carbon capture & storage and small nuclear reactor as potential energy solutions. As mentioned above, the earth is our coffin, hope is a mistake, etc
Update: I got an extension 😇
It's always the child prodigies
All the extra renewable electricity produced in Ireland last year was eaten up by the growth in data centres, new analysis shows.
"Total demand for electricity last year grew by 4.4pc, or 1.3 terawatts (TW), but 80pc of that increase, or 1.1TW, was from data centre growth."
Training data for LLMs = higher energy prices and environmental degradation.
A video interview with the artist John Wild about AI, AGI, eugenics and Silicon Valley TESCREAL cultism. Posting without watching.
"AI for dummies" interview from Irish radio with Dr Abeba Birhane, who's on a UN advisory board about AI.
According to wikipedia, Runaway received "mixed reviews".
This week we have a chat with Dr Dan McQuillan about his book Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence.
Interview on Australian anti-fascist radio show Yeah Nah Pasaran! with Dan McQuillan, computer lecturer and author of "Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach To Artificial Intelligence". Interesting comments on AI as a tool of/for austerity politics, and an argument that AI is inherently anti-worker. Probably nothing new to people in here, but eloquently stated and put into a wider political context.
Flannery Associates, the California group behind the $800m effort, launched a website showcasing renderings
Sure, why attempt to improve the climate resilience or affordable housing in the cities where millions of people already live, when you can just buy land upstate and get a whole new toy to play with? And why tell local, state or national government anything - they'll only be supplying the land, water, sewerage, utilities & transport links. You pay your taxes, you deserve to get something back.
This is going to be one hell of a planning application. What's the land use code for "feudal stronghold"?
