Lol first spam I've seen so far on lemmy

He fired the guy who made the video, it clearly wasn't something the campaign asked to be made.

He fired the guy who posted the video, isn't that what you want? Is there any proof this guy was hired with the campaign aware of ties to Naziism?

Yeh I feel you, I used to be the same way actually. Gradually over time my habits changed and now I look forward to the Discovery playlist each week. But I totally get where you're coming from, I used to just listen to the same artist over and over ha ha.

He's a national treasure, always puts me in a good mood.

I didn't say anything about the sources being incongruent? That's a completely separate issue. We were talking about plagiarism.

I don't understand the morality comment either, I didn't ascribe any morality to AI, I was talking about whether using them fits the definition of plagiarism or not.

If you are expected to write it yourself, and you use an LLM to generate it, then that's cheating in my opinion. Yes, of course we shoukd learn to use AI, but if you are told to do something and you get a person or LLM to do it for you, then you didn't complete the task as you were told. And at university that can have consequences.

Ah yeh, fair enough. I didn't do any controls and am. Now having to learn a bit for my job, but I like learning at work. It's more fun than university.

Eh, I'm a full album guy (Pink Floyd ftw) but I still enjoy Spotify. I've been introduced to a lot of good music I probably wouldn't have found otherwise, and sometimes I'm just not in the mood to commit to a full album.

I love that show, and Naked Gun. So funny 😂

People who understand the technology did not assume that, but yes the general public has a lot of misconceptions about it.

I don't know about AI, but there are already computer programs that try many different combinations of, for example, chemical structures with known pharmacological properties and then output new drugs that could possibly be used to treat something. Of course you have to verify with research and studies.

I'm sure there will be AI's or machine learning programs, if not already, that can do this as well and perhaps improve upon the process. But they would need to be specifically trained for that purpose. ChatGPT is a LLM, it's made to generate language that fits a given prompt, I would not expect it to be great at creating cancer treatments and I'm not sure why we needed a study to learn that. OpenAI tells you already that the results can be inaccurate or outright wrong.

I can understand the plagiarism argument, though you have to extend the definition of it. If I am expected to write an essay, but I use ChatGPT instead, then I am fraudulently presenting the work as my own. Plagiarism might not be the right word, or maybe it's a case where language is going to evolve so that plagiarism includes passing off AI generated work as your own. Either way it's cheating unless I was specifically allowed to use AI.

Damn, I'm an EE and my university wasn't too bad for having a good mix of theory vs practical. But I'm aware a lot of EE courses don't do that.

BTW, are you Australian too?

Ah, a fellow OT III.

Helium (as a suicide method) has been around a while. My best friend used it to kill himself 13 years ago. Maybe it's making a comeback.

Reddit is fine if you only look at user numbers.

If you consider things like overall satisfaction with the site and profitability though, they are in trouble. That's why they are introducing that embarrassing crypto shit, they are desperate to somehow monetize the site.

Because you're north looking south.

All g, yeh a lot of that bad behavior from reddit has flowed through to here.

Thanks for the sources, yes looks like the US commercial real estate market is in trouble. Here in Australia it's not that bad, though there are predictions that there may be issues due to economic reasons, with WFH playing a small part.

Yeh I don't care either, I just find it funny that most Lemmy users hold themselves out as some how 'better' than reddit, yet they engage in exactly the same dumb behaviors that make reddit a terrible place.
