Wayward Sun (yak shaver extraordinaire)

@farah@beige.party Or in your case, paying it upward? :ms_crazy: Sorry, sorry, I'll see myself out... :)

@Gyroplast@furry.engineer @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social Admit you have been saving up that one for 40 years... 😃

@Grantscheam@troet.cafe Eine, aber die gross & schwer & gut in der Hand liegend (pays to be thorough).

@preinheimer@phpc.social While entirely true and foreseeable, this end game is years down the line, when all relevant decision makers will have cashed out already, so who cares? /s

@dvandal@infosec.exchange I'm working at a university, and I have already started to see the brain-killing effects of LLMs on education. So far, the internal consulting I provide has not been affected, but you paint a plausible and scary scenario: I have seen all the behaviors you describe, the vagueness, the impatience, the unwillingness to engage with the material etc. (though rarely all at once and usually not persistently). An initial part of consulting (at least my kind) is managing expectations and negotiating boundaries (this is what I can do for you - this is what you are responsible for; my time is valuable; I can't help you if you do not define your problem clearly etc.). Which means, after a couple of iterations, we generally have a working relationship. What is going to happen when a sufficient proportion of the research community will have conditioned themselves to do research as a random walk guided by a plausible idiot with infinite patience (as long as the tokens don't run out)... scary, very scary.

@Viss@mastodon.social A bit disappointed: of course, playing Doom is nice, but I was hoping they were running Doom on human brain cells... (wouldn't be the first time either; I still have the occasional Doom dream, flashing back to the 90s)

@Unixbigot@aus.social Much as I appreciate your creativity and wit, STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS! 😱 #tormentnexus

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt ... blood of surviving paediatricians 😃 So yes, with some deft Darwinian filtering, there may be something useful to harvest. (surviving as in, alive and still practicing; how many paediatricians wash out of the profession due to permanent sniffles?! 🤷)

@Asterix_Archiv@troet.cafe Und der Vollständigheit halber, natürlich auch auf den Diskuswerfer
