Because of the increase in submissions due to AI, the peer review system will collapse. The AI flood is happening at different rates for different fields and subtitles, so you might be spared so far.
This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.
It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever
Coming next: Dead Internet Theory but applied to online education.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source
Wasn't it that they wouldn't be going into underground bunkers, because the punters would be defeated by a locked door?
I'll let them off for a fortnight.
I think I hate the Scotland rugby team more than I hate LLMs
A great essay. I had some time for Doctorow; some of his fiction is decent, but his blog post referenced here so misses the point of people's hostility to LLMs it's embarrassing.
Scotland might win this. Which would be nice
In Ireland, Virgin Media cut to ads just before kickoff and missed the first 20 seconds of play, so shit coverage is getting to be the norm.
Yeah, it's funny, but do we really need another example of LLM stupidity? I mean, the verdict was in a long time ago.
this is like when my classmates in middle school discovered it was funny to ask people if they've seen the clown that hides from gay people
Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol
I don't think I could take one of the most dominant club teams in Europe and make them that shit if it was my stated intention. Gregor Townsend really is a generational talent in that regard
I mean the question now is the wooden spoon battle with Wales or with Ireland?
On this showing, Scotland looking at what will be a well-merited wooden spoon. Townsend's forthcoming departure to Newcastle is around 4 years too late.
Richard Lloyd just announced that Television bassist Fred Smith died in hospice today

3 panel comic Panel 1: A Pink Guy has spray painted the words “All billionaires are scum” on a blue wall. Pleased with his work, he looks at the reader and gives a thumbs up. Panel 2: An Orange Guy comes into shot and snatches the can of spray paint out of the Pink Guy’s hand. He looks angry and yells “Hey!” Panel 3: The Orange Guy has changed the message so it now reads “All billionaires are scumbag pedophiles. Both the Pink Guy and the Orange Guy give the reader a thumbs up.

Make me. Go on, fucking make me.
Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.
