If they’re really just after data at all costs, they could easily spin up an instance that has no apparent link to threads and federate secretly. I agree with other arguments about not federating with them but idk, all these data privacy arguments against federating with threads are so dumb. If they want it, they’ll get it because getting it is so absurdly easy.

Not sure what you mean. They can already pull any public data on lemmy, as can anyone else.

There are loads of Jews who are against what Israel is doing. The actions of a government don’t indicate the views of a whole ethnicity of people. It’s like calling all Germans perpetrators of genocide.

Where it gets really challenging is that LLMs can take the assignment input and generate an answer that is actually more educational for the student than what they learned d in class.

That’s if the LLM is right. If you don’t know the material, you have no idea if what it’s spitting out is correct or not. That’s especially dangerous once you get to undergrad level when learning about more specialized subjects. Also, how can reading a paper be more informative than doing research and reading relevant sources? The paper is just the summary of the research.

and get a level of engagement equal to a private tutor for every student.

Eh. Even assuming it’s always 100% correct, there’s so much more value to talking to a knowledgeable human being about the subject. There’s so much more nuance to in person conversations than speaking with an AI.

Look, again, I do think that LLMs can be great resources and should be taken advantage of. Where we disagree is that I think the point of the assignment is to gain the skills to do research, analysis, and generally think critically about the material. You seem to think that the goal is to hand something in.

It can definitely be a good tool for studying or for organizing your thoughts but it’s also easily abused. School is there to teach you how to take in and analyze information and chat AIs can basically do that for you (whether or not their analysis is correct is another story). I’ve heard a lot of people compare it to the advent of the calculator but I think that’s wrong. A calculator spits out an objective truth and will always say the same thing. Chat GPT can take your input and add analysis and context in a way that circumvents the point of the assignment which is to figure out what you personally learned.

I mean you can. Most people who interact with computers aren’t that knowledgeable and just want their OS to have usable defaults which is fine.

There are plenty alternatives which is great. I think it’s just an absurd take to bash a solo dev who is working on an app as their full time job for trying to make money.

This is such an unbelievably naive take. People’s time is worth something. Relying just on donations from a small percentage of users here and there is not going to cut it for someone who is developing the software full time.

Uber isn’t a taxi company. They don’t own a fleet. They’re a company that makes an app.

Not just undercutting competition but also by subverting regulations and organizations like unions.

I have no clue if it’s feasible to make three videos a day for 5.5 months, but I guess if the length of the video doesn’t matter then It must be doable.

It’s definitely a feat to do that. Some youtube channels are able to do it but they’re working with a team of people generally. With the amount that Amazon is offering, it’s not going to be viable to hire people to help and doing it on your own is an enormous amount of work. Even for short form content.

Because some people are good at what they do. In online communities you often have people talking out of their ass. It’s interesting hearing what experts in certain topics have to say. Also not to mention following friends and family. Not sure what’s hard to understand there.

There’s no shot youtube will be dethroned any time too. Hosting that amount of video is absurdly expensive.

I guess you could say that but brains are orders of magnitude more complex than any computer. Saying that they’re “simply” organic computers is a huge understatement.

He didn’t want to buy Twitter. He lost a lawsuit that forced him to buy it. None of it goes that deep.

Make it illegal for AI companies to sell their services to people for the purpose of cheating or impersonation.

How would that work? How do you know someone is cheating? AI can be a great studying tool and those same functions could be considered cheating based on the context that the user is using them in. There’s no way to tell what the user’s intent is.

Because laptops cost money lol

Genuinely can’t see a future where people collectively ditch adobe. They make industry standard products that companies, educational institutions, professionals, etc… buy.

Imagine using pornhub in light mode
