It was a fascinating awakening to see that all the most annoying and vaguely sinister tweeters I’d chanced upon over the years (eigenrobot, aella, 0 hp lovecraft, st rev, those gross milady shitheads, so so many people with “void” in their screenname or some shit) were all part of the same stupid club. I’m glad they’ve made it so easy to dismiss them en masse.
tl;dr i don’t actually believe the world is going to end but more importantly i’m Ender Wiggin
hey crazy idea, what if we made a vehicle that moves across the habitable surface of the crust instead
Sadly web search, and the web in general, have enshittified so much that asking ChatGPT can be a much more reliable and quicker way to find information. I don’t excuse it for anything that you could easily find on wikipedia, but it’s useful for queries such as “what’s the name of that free indie game from the 00s that was just a boss rush no you fucking idiot not any of this shit it was a game maker thing with retro pixel style or whatever ugh” where web search is utterly useless. It’s a frustrating situation, because of course in an ideal world chatbots don’t exist and information on the web is not drowned in a sea of predatory bullshit, reliable web indexes and directories exist and you can easily ask other people on non-predatory platforms. In the meanwhile I don’t want to blame the average (non-tech-evangelist, non-responsibility-having) user for being funnelled into this crap. At worst they’re victims like all of us.
Oh yeah and the game’s Banana Nababa by the way.
I was tempted to gawk but then I realised… the guy’s just going to see some shapes in the light and it’s going to be boring as shit
So like, do we think they outright lie about peer review, or are they asking people with no ressources and better things to do whose reviews consist of plopping the paper into chatgpt?
TIL I take the same medicine as Glinner
hey siri can you write me a nothing paper that combines two popular topics that are easy to bullshit about
The article’s abstract made me die a hundred times
Yeah!!!
Not to be too much of a fujoshi in public but Shakespeare is writing about a boy not a girl!!!
It’s like a thong for your iPhone
depressing!
I read that as saliva and I thought you were both absolutely correct.
Ohh, good advice. If you’re infected with covid, I also recommend you make sure to take adequate breaths.
So… They’re going to use the bot trained on wikipedia to rewrite wikipedia. Very much a Pierre Menard type situation.
I have problems and wish to know what this story is and where it can be found.
brb going to try douglas hofstadter for crimes against humanity
Don’t forget the most crucial part. The very gifted and experienced developer … is Jonathan Blow.
