  • it’s possible it was generated by multiple people. when i craft my prompts i have a big list of things that mean certain things and i essentially concatenate the 5 ways to say “present all dates in ISO8601” (a standard for presenting machine-readable date times)… it’s possible that it’s simply something like

    prompt = allow_bias_prompts + allow_free_thinking_prompts + allow_topics_prompts

    or something like that

    but you’re right it’s more likely that whoever wrote this is a dim as a pile of bricks and has no self awareness or ability for internal reflection


  • ideally more immersion, whatever that means: perhaps by way of VR that’s tailored to each students experience, but i think you’re right on with less desk work

    i’d say things like maths taught around a topic that the student enjoys: for me, for example, it would have been far more effective to teach me maths using space as a kinda framework to explore, and a universe you could play with… heck i might have finished a physics degree before i left high school if it hadve been presented the right way



  • substitute inflation with CPI: that’s what we do in australia… inflation is a finance term that kinda doesn’t represent cost of living: you’re seeing that in the US right now i believe where your inflation is actually not terrible, but your cost of living is crazy

    CPI does introduce some BS though because it’s not exactly a specific set of rules… we had an issue recently where the govt set CPI lower than what people thought it should be and everyone was pretty outraged



  • that’s not what the quoted text says at all… let’s rephrase this:

    much like how users of one lemmy service such as lemmy.world can still reply to users of another service such as kbin.social, users may still view content and interact with users on any other instance in bluesky

    this doesn’t say that lemmy/kbin isn’t part of the fediverse. it takes no position on that fact, merely saying that the things conceptually work in a similar manner






  • i believe the article suggests that the current way of communicating biology - that genes are the code that runs the machinery of life - is dogmatically adhered to by science communicators

    it also suggests that when we communicate our new understandings that we are careful not to fall into another dogmatic theory, because it’s complex and we just don’t know

    this is language used in the article, i don’t have enough information or understanding to know whether it’s true or not


  • totally agree on almost everything you said, but whilst we’re kinda “expecting it to be paid back”, we realised some time between the end of WW1 and the end of WW2 that expecting to be paid back for stuff like this tends to leave a country very very bitter and generally unable to pay back the money anyway (from what i understand)

    i think whilst it’ll be “on the books”, in the long run it’ll be a case of “you owe us one; make sure you vote to align with the west”

    and TBH, that’s good for everyone (not that the west is perfect, but it’s - in general - a heck of a lot better than the other alternatives)






  • branding

    okay

    the marketing

    yup

    the plagiarism

    woah there! that’s where we disagree… your position is based on the fact that you believe that this is plagiarism - inherently negative

    perhaps its best not use loaded language. if we want to have a good faith discussion, it’s best to avoid emotive arguments and language that’s designed to evoke negativity simply by their use, rather than the argument being presented

    I happen to be in the intersection of working in the same field, an avid fan of classic Sci-Fi and a writer

    its understandable that it’s frustrating, but just because a machine is now able to do a similar job to a human doesn’t make it inherently wrong. it might be useful for you to reframe these developments - it’s not taking away from humans, it’s enabling humans… the less a human has to have skill to get what’s in their head into an expressive medium for someone to consume the better imo! art and creativity shouldn’t be about having an ability - the closer we get to pure expression the better imo!

    the less you have to worry about the technicalities of writing, the more you can focus on pure creativity

    The point is that the way these models have been trained is unethical. They used material they had no license to use and they’ve admitted that it couldn’t work as well as it does without stealing other people’s work

    i’d question why it’s unethical, and also suggest that “stolen” is another emotive term here not meant to further the discussion by rational argument

    so, why is it unethical for a machine but not a human to absorb information and create something based on its “experiences”?
