o.o holy shit- i mean that’s a valid move, using AI for a handwritten piece sounds like a pain in the ass, but so does just writing 10 pages by hand, AI or not!

i’m glad i got through my higher education marginally before the AI boom hit (i graduated 3 years ago). i only had Turnitin yell “PLAGIARISM???” at me when i used a common phrase that another student used at some point somewhere (think - “The research suggests…”, or sometimes even the page numbers), good times good times

sure maybe it was tested with data already known to the researchers, but that’s not a real world test, that’s still a fully controlled environment. and the researchers, being human, aren’t perfect, the data about what the AI was meant to predict could’ve slipped into the training data. using historic data to predict slightly less historic data is a good first step, and it’s of course exciting! but we’re not done here

nobody can read AI code after its been trained, so until all possibility of human error can be fully disspelled by continuous testing it in real time and having the AI actually predict events that come to be - it’s a could, not a can.

i much prefered writing notes on paper but i’d cry if i had to write an essay by hand, i hope those students aren’t torturing themselves this way

“can” and not “could”? you haven’t had a chance to test it yet but already claim to have invented a machine that can predict the future a decade in advance? it better be the journalists that picked that word because if the scientists are saying that, then their funding would do better somewhere else

i used to do that, but my sanity suffered, now i block liberally

that’s not flower power that’s just misogyny! your husband has taught your daughter to be misogynistic towards herself. i think you need a long conversation with her, you need to disillusion her from the promises of “simplicity” of such worldview, because if anything happens to make her less than perfect for “a man like daddy” then she’s going to be left helpless and unable to take care of herself in the long run. and even if she finds a man to take care of her - she will be then stuck with him no matter who he turns out to be

that usually means acknowledging that trans people exist and are the gender they say they are

scary stuff /s

he was caught days later with an entire manifesto and also evidence placing him at the scene in his backpack, how convenient! :)

both this and learning how to smith sounds like a lot of work. i gambled my money and thankfully it paid off as i got what i wanted for a fraction of the price it’d cost me to buy from a safe website, lol

as i said, steel belt, not leather

a specific style of a fem biology steel chastity belt comes to mind first

it’s hard to find fem biology chastity belts in the first place, and if you want one that isn’t clunky? either pay an actual fortune for one from a western online store (probably a german one) or gamble your money and try to get one from a chinese retailer with 0 reviews and little media presence but significantly cheaper. another actually valid alternative is using that money to sign up for a blacksmithing course and just forge one yourself because fuck €400 is the cheapest price for like 8 pieces of metal and some wires??? (a shady chinese retailer will [probably] get you one for €100, or they might take the money and disappear forever)

my emberassing stuff is too expensive to risk a chatbot fucking up my order

for some reason i had to force my brain to read “sings slipknot” because the only thing i saw was “silksong”

that just sounds like a challenge to find something you haven’t seen >:)

you can use hearing aids as normal earphones? :0 that’s so neat!

but what if that video is about a master craftsman transforming an old book into a genuine masterpiece? it’s only 2h 🥺

i’ve seen my friends who never changed a setting in their life struggle with not being able to access their files when their internet died. how default settings work i do not know exactly myself, i don’t use cloud saving

an obscure clause in TOS won’t be a small print of an evil villain speech exposing their plot in clear wording. what it would be is something worded vaguely enough to make things seem like the end user technically agreed to what was being done, it could also be an “and” where you expected “or”, or an ommision of a specific thing… my point being - it’s always going to be a technicality that in case of a lawsuit would be a valid defence in the eyes of law

it very much is how it works though? show me a lawsuit someone lost before they got caught commiting a crime. and how would you even go about proving that your unpublished documents were used to train AI? even an entire life’s work of one person is just a speck in the training data, it’s impossible to definitively prove your work was stolen and used to train an AI. besides there will always be plausible deniability that the AI just made shit up that happened to look kinda like what you once wrote

they’re probably already doing that to a smaller degree, and slightly protecting themselves with an obscure clause in their TOS. besides, you only lose lawsuits if you get caught - and churning things through AI is a great way to erase any fingerprints that identifies stolen data

because your phone/laptop doesn’t have a global wi-fi connection, and you might want to open a document pause for dramatic effect outside of your home or work!
