  • Nope.

    their highly cited papers

    Papers are cited.

    their qualifications sighted

    Qualifications are to be physically seen.

    If there is doubt or the qualification can't be physically shown, it's a small mission to follow up with the institution they are alleged to come from—often a fee attached and time involved.

  • As someone that works in academia, you'd be surprised how many academics never get their qualifications sighted for employment at a university. I've heard a few stories of renowned individuals admitting to fake degrees before retirement, suddenly rendering their highly cited papers ignored after 20 years of publication.

  • I don't even know if I pronounce it right. Is it like libré or is it more like a lobster-tiger hybrid? Or a Lemur-cobra.hybtid?

    Also, if they're watching, the themes still make the UI all funky unless it's on the default—at least for Calc, anyway.

  • If they unloaded the goods to another truck really fucking fast, maybe. Otherwise they're just being recorded on top of a giant GPS beacon that's alerting a system that something abnormal is happening so rally nearby law enforcement. It'd way easier to hold up a bookies, with a shotgun, Saul.

  • Yep. And query languages being some of the quickest and fastest things an analyst can do with 100% knowledge of the data and any wrangling/conditions that need to be done to assure accurate results.

    A bot would never be able to accurately answer these questions off my data unless I thoroughly trained and tested it. But if it's GPT-based, I'd always have to double-check so it'd just be a hinderence in workflow. There is no way money would be paid to a third-party for such a situation.

  • Gawd, me too. They've started scraping my LinkedIn recommenders to try bait me in.

    For context, I work at a university. The subject was something like "xxxxxx recommends you for a company like us" implying my contact had actually been behind it, but obviously they didn't.

    Hi saltesc,

    Saw on LinkedIn that xxxxxx highlighted your industry expertise and dedication to client success—sounds like you're pivotal in driving both xxxxxx and solid outcomes for your clients!

    By the way, any chance you'd be interested in using AI to get total visibility of all your data?

    Our AI data analytics solution specializes in helping companies in the higher education industry do exactly that.

    With Knowi, you can effortlessly get answers to questions like:

    • What is the percentage increase in graduate employment rates from diverse student demographics over the past three years, including international learners?
    • How many new educational offerings have been developed annually at xxxxxx to enhance skills development within the community, including international students?

    It's like ChatGPT, but for your data!

    Open to learning more?

    All the best, xxxxxx xxxxxx Business Growth

    And obviously it reads like it was written by one of the GPTs.

    Had they seen our profiles, they'd actually know what it is we do and how ridiculous recommending a chat AI is. That's sooooo beneath our knowledge and expertise. Like a random suggesting Ivermectin to Dr Faucci.

  • Whenever I get a sofa, I just make sure the arm rests are squared and put a coaster on that. It's like having a little shelf for everything. People that gets rounded arm rests are fools.

    Edit: Ta-daaaa!

  • I can't believe eggs come in that size, are.for regular customers, and there's plenty missing. My household couldn't get through a quarter of that before they went off. You'd want to be freezing them—which makes for shit egg cooking later—or just really fuckin' love eggs.
