I wonder how cheap it'd have to go for me to buy one. I think I could get a car wrap that ridicules the whole fucking thing. (Actually really, why not just do that instead of being shamed for wanting a "green" vehicle and realizing musk is an asshole? I think you're forgiven if you're driving around in a car wrapped with Trump licking Musks two left feet or something).
Just load an old save until you get the right choices. You guys are doing that too, right? This playthrough has really gone south since 2016 though, I need to see if I have something to load... maybe 2014 to be safe.
You guys ok if I reboot this reality and load that file rq? You might lose progress, I'm not sure how it impacts your saves.
YouGov is definitely crap compared to actual research, but their hacks are mostly paid for speed over quality so it should be assumed. Later on, Pew Research or something tends to tell a better picture, although they aren't perfect either.
Reminder of a poll recently, conservatives may still be brainwashed even after shit moves like this, but a ton of independents and moderate voters are souring over shit like this. They're your real leopard face feeders.
They've practically already lost 2/3 of those people, although by definition they're the flipflopiest group so it's not great. I still wish the rightwing cultists will come to or at least actually inject bleach into their veins.
Oh, I'm in LA and you should definitely come; just wait until after our civil war or coup or whatever it is that happens to get things to settle down. It's a lovely city if you know where to go.
Also if it's any consolation, we've practically got ICE protests almost every day. People here are fucking livid over this shit, particularly the Latino parts of town. (Although in typical LA fashion, part of the protesting is because of a TikTok trend).
You know, at that point it's not even emulation, just good ol' abandonware. That, or real patient gamer discounts... which I would make fun of except it took me like 15 years to try and love Portal. Lol
Ok, other guy got downvoted for this very same thought, but really, $250 a day seems like kinda a lot. I guess it you count taxes, maybe? Or maybe savings? Its weirdly too low for hyperbole but too high to sound right.
My expenses with a morgage in a major city, utils, gas, daycare, transportation, insurance, food for four, and a little to savings... and even I don't think we hit $250/day. Even without doing the math, that's $7500 every 30 days, we definitely don't make that much even before taxes.
Oh wait, now I see, I spend jack shit on entertainment. A perk of being addicted to playing 20 year old games on emulators, I guess. If I had normal hobbies, yeah ok I can see how that'd probably be around $250 a day on average.
Tl;dr, moral of my thought experiment, pirate the mother loving shit out of your entertainment. Arr!
Look, stranger things have happened but I get the sense it's more likely Putin dies and the whole thing kind of crumbles. That's the likelier, although still entirely unlikely scenario.
It'd still be pretty nice to see less reliance on the US except global peace relies on more trust, not less. The US might need systemic reforms to get there, but even Russia looked like it could be an ally to EU prior to Putin, just all countries need better safeguards to avoid backsliding into authoritarianism. I'm not sure what those would be, but you can't have global peace without addressing these countries.
Lol, well sounds like a bad assignment if you can get away with just summary, although I guess it is language class(?) it's more reasonable. I'm not really shooken up over this type of thing, though. I'm not pro-cheating, but it's not for justice or morality; it's cause education is for the students benefit and they're missing out on growth. We really need more critical thinkers in this world. Like, desperately need them. Lol
That's actually something that was discussed like, two years ago within the institutions I'm connected to. I don't think it was ever fully resolved, but I get the sense that the inaccurate results made it too troublesome.
My mentally coming out of an education degree, if your assessment can be done by AI, you're relying too much on memorization and not enough on critical thinking. I complain in my reply, but the honest truth is these students mostly lost points because they didn't apply theory to the example (although it's because the example wasn't fully understood since it wasn't their own). K-12 generally fails on this, which is why freshmen have the hardest time with these things, GPT or otherwise.
Except I've given this quiz prior to GPT and no, it wasn't once used because it's not even a current advertisement campaign. My average 19 year old usually uses examples from my influencers, for instance, so I get stuff like Hello Fresh or Better Help, and usually specific to an ad read on stream on the past couple weeks. After all, the question asks for ads they've seen and remembered.
Also, you neglect how these models get data. It's likely pulled not because it's a favorite, but because GPT steals from textbooks, blogs, etc, and those examples that would use that as a go-to (especially if the author uses 90s examples). Plus nevermind that your joe shmo Internet user isn't the same as the group I'm teaching, most of them weren't even alive when the Just Do It campaign started, lol.
It really undermines the point of coming up with your own examples and applying theory to something from their life. I am not inherently anti GPT but this is a very bad use case.
LLMs by their very nature drive towards cliche and most common answers, since they're synthesizing data. Prompts can attempt to sway it away from that, but it's ultimately a regurgitation machine.
Actual AI might be able to eventually, but it would require a lot more human like experience (and honestly, the chaos that gives us creativity). At that point it'll probably be sentient, and we'd have bigger things you worry about, lol
I have a similar background and no surprise, it's mostly a problem in my asynchronous class. The ones who have my in person lectures are much more engaged, since it is a fun topic and I don't enjoy teaching unless I'm also making them laugh. No dice with asynchronous.
And yeah, I'm also kinda doing that with my essay questions, requiring stuff you sorta can't just summarize. Important you critical thinking, even if you're not just trying to detect GPT.
I remember reading that GPT isn't really foolproof on verifying bad usage, and I am not willing to fail anyone over it unless I had to. False positives and all that. Hell, I just used GPT as a sounding board for a few new questions I'm writing, and it's advice wasn't bad. There's good ways to use it, just... you know, not so stupidly.
I'm the type to be in favor of new tech but this really is a downgrade after seeing it available for a few years. Midterms hit my classes this week and I'll be grading them next week. I'm already seeing people try to pass off GPT as their own, but the quality of answers has really dropped in the past year.
Just this last week, I was grading a quiz on persuasion and for fun, I have students pick an advertisement to analyze. You know, to personalize the experience, this was after the super bowl so we're swimming in examples. Can even be audio, like a podcast ad, or a fucking bus bench or literally anything else.
60% of them used the Nike Just Do It campaign, not even a specific commercial. I knew something was amiss, so I asked GPT what example it would probably use it asked. Sure enough, Nike Just Do It.
Why even cheat on that? The universe has a billion ad examples. You could even feed GPT one and have it analyze for you. It'd be wrong, cause you have to reference the book, but at least it'd not be at blatant.
I didn't unilaterally give them 0s but they usually got it wrong anyway so I didn't really have to. I did warn them that using that on the midterm in this way will likely get them in trouble though, as it is against the rules. I don't even care that much because again, it's usually worse quality anyway but I have to grade this stuff, I don't want suffer like a sci-fi magazine getting thousands of LLM submissions trying to win prizes.
Not a good analogy, except there is one interesting parallel. My students who overuse a calculator in stats tend to do fine on basic arithmetic but it does them a disservice when trying to do anything more elaborate. Granted, it should be able to follow PEDMAS but for whatever weird reason, it doesn't sometimes. And when there's a function that requires a sum and maybe multiple steps? Forget about it.
Similarly, GPT can make cliche copy writing, but good luck getting it to spit out anything complex. Trust me, I'm grading that drinble. So in that case, the analogy works.
I wonder if he's narcissistic enough to still at least do the election for his third term. He'd need significantly more cheating this time around to overcome the margins he's gonna lose by with all his voters dead or faces eaten by leopards.
I'm taking very long term, honestly. Germany is a fine example, except we had to have WW2 to undo it. I hope the US and Russia don't need WW3.
