Yeah, when you build the hoops you must jump through to maintain your livelihood to be based on a publication machine is it any surprise people gameify it and exploit what they can

Yeah, this is a hot take: I think it’s totally fine if researchers who have done their studies and collected their data want to use AI as a language tool to bolster their paper. Some researchers legitimately have a hard time communicating, or English is a second language, and would benefit from a pass through AI enhancement, or as a translation tool if they’re more comfortable writing in their native language. However, I am not in favor of submitting it without review of every single word, or using it to synthesize new concepts / farm citations. That’s not research because anybody can do it.

lol it’s like c++ but we removed friend classes and other bullshit no one uses lol

(Adding my soap box here, not disagreeing with what you said)

Vote with your wallet and habits (and your vote). With the exception of maybe AI, most of those things are produced by the companies because people want them. They’re not just doing it for fun. I realize many of those things are essentials that you can’t readily decline in our society which is where the government regulation would ideally kick in. (And if it doesn’t we should hold our leaders accountable)

I know that individual responsibility is a corporate defection to avoid corporate responsibility but the other extreme of no personal accountability (“10 companies account for 90% of emissions, it’s their fault!”) isn’t exactly the correct stance either. We should all work to minimize our impacts, make green choices when mildly more inconvenient green alternatives exist. If companies can’t make money polluting they will adapt. And if we foster a social environment where it’s socially commendable to make those personal choices then the ecological awareness of the average voter goes up and the political situation gets better faster.

Deleting 107k lines of code is so much more based than adding 107k lines

64 billion so far

Oh yeah? Name ONE ape that wrote Shakespeare. Go on I’ll wait

Corporations aren’t people, they don’t have deadnames or pronouns. Fire away

Also applies to misogyny in general. You can call out terfs (or just regular anti trans conservative women) for being bigoted shit faces without resorting to gendered attacks.

Most companies have software to identify what you’ve copied to an external drive as well.

Don’t bcc your personal email, the internal mail servers can see everything even if the recipients don’t. Better to just screencap when possible.

Aww that’s cute. Barnard’s star has kind of an interesting history of exoplanet claims that were sadly ruled out after further examination. Great to hear we finally have good evidence.

Thanks I get it now 🙌🏼

Someone explain the joke pls

My favorite part was when Hank showed up, deadpanned the fourth wall, and said “I guess that means junior is… braking bad” and then schradered all over the place while maintaining eye contact with the camera

Yall mfers never heard of the one cup communion before have you

It’s not clear! Just my interpretation :) I’m an atheist now but when I was growing up I was always confused why Jesus said “sell everything you own and give to the poor” and Christians were like “it’s a metaphor” lol idk seems pretty clear to me

I interpreted it as giving all the money you have on you to someone in desperate need. Otherwise it doesn’t really make sense lol. This of course is subverted by the fact that today people don’t carry money on their person
