- Comment on Student Demands Tuition Refund After Catching Professor Using ChatGPT - Slashdot 1 day ago:
“He’s telling us not to use it, and then he’s using it himself”
Just because the teacher might have screwed up doesn’t change that experts in a subject can assess LLM output, while a student who knows jack shit about the topic can’t. Just because the teacher messed up and let ai weirdness degrade the quality of education in the eyes of students, doesn’t mean just anyone can use chatgpt to generate college courses.
I read the original article but not the interview. I wonder how much communication there was about the work before the student decided they deserved a refund.

Nice lintels.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 1 week ago:
I have the same memory, except the teacher would just pop his head out from the office and tell us to knock it off. Someone managed to draw a giant line of Axe spray across the electronics desk/counter things and made a massive fireball. Nobody really got in trouble in that class.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 week ago:
Does your comment make sense as a response to my comment?
I’m confused why the devs stuck their head in the jaws of a sue happy monster. I ask, “But what was the point? What did they plan to happen?”
And you tell me Nintendo shouldn’t own mechanics? Like… I know that. I am so used to people misunderstanding me, that I specifically go back and add a huge banner saying “I agree with you.” I can call Nintendo assholes, call copyright broken, paint the devs as good but naive, and I still get “listen here, Nintendo is bad. Copyright is broken.”
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 week ago:
What the hell is wrong with you? Did I say Nintendo ought to be allowed to drive drunk? Or did I express confusion at why someone stepped in front of the speeding drunk? I’m fucking tired of “oh you defended him? What do you love him?” bullshit.
Sorry I didn’t just shake my magic 8 ball and generate a pithy comment like you (probably) did. Here, I’ll shake my ball and write what comes up.
Nintendo is fucking scum. I want a competitor to Pokemon. Copyright laws are broken. Lawyers! LAWYERS!!
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 week ago:
I wonder what their plan was – step on the toes of the biggest franchise while operating in one of the many countries with broken copyright laws and then hope for the best while raking in early access money based on an idea that legally can’t exist? Was it being naive and hoping they could just make a fun and successful game and Pokemon would be a merciful god?

The corporation knows we hate billionaires. They rang the dinner bell and gave us our slop. Now we need to lap it up and generate ad revenue for the business. We need to tell the world: ragebait articles contribute to society, they generate value, it brings in the visitors.
- Comment on Has anyone told MAGA they are free to shut themselves off from the rest of the world all on their own. Honestly they do a pretty good job of it already. 4 weeks ago:
I’d rather we deport conservatives to an island, embargo the shit out of it, do everything we can to prevent them from thriving, and then I get to point at their country and say, “look what happens when maga is in control”
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
Well a billionaire commanded we argue about copyright law. I guess we need to expend our energy and build enough momentum so that Musk can grab more power during the turmoil.
Trumpers did their part by arguing about free speech. Time to tap into our issues with IP laws and help Musk too!
- Comment on Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides” 5 weeks ago:
Imagine using all the recipes known to man to build a chef bot that can cook “both types of cuisine.”
Or wait, maybe the implication is that the bot only made edible food before, and now it can make the other kind too?

- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 1 month ago:
I’m making fun of the juxtaposition of people that express frustration/animosity for Windows with the need to stay on Windows in order to consume cutting edge video games.
It gets to be comical. Something about the “height” difference. Like you have the giant “They’re taking away my ownership of my data and my very computer!” standing next to little old “But I like my raytracing.”
“My data is being exposed in the name of corporate AI!” next to “But I can’t play games with anticheat with my friends.” It’s funny. I’m going to laugh.

- Comment on MAGA Republican Logic 2 months ago:
These sick liberals need to stop defining themselves with sex.
Have sex within your race! Have sex in a way that Harry Potter would approve! Have sex with underage mothers! Save your virginity for an old man in an authoritative position in your life!
And for the love of God Almighty, stop bringing up sex! Sex! SEX!!
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 2 months ago:
That’s weird – we water our soil with nutrients like “there’s no point in voting”, “they’re all out to get us”, “politicians are shit”, “nothing changes”, “governments are bad”.
I wonder why people haven’t been motivated to fight. Whenever they express faith in our leaders, or institutions, or have any positivity, we’re quick to shut them down. But still.
(Why would people motivated to fight hang out online where everyone has a reason why trying is pointless?)
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 2 months ago:
I was thinking more along the lines of “install and play this free unity game while it siphons personal data off your computer and sends it back to epic servers”
They’re specifically getting something of value in return for the good or service and then claiming it’s free and that customers are not customers, merely “users.”

I don’t get how something is allowed to be labeled “free” when the terms of usage make you barter your data.

There’s a law called HOPA that says it’s legal. You can have white only neighborhoods if you have the laws, until someone challenges them, changes them, etc. There’s a specific allowance for old people and nobody wants to take it away enough to have changed it.

Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It’s already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don’t seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don’t care, and their leaders’ leaders don’t care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.
