Comment Just fail them! (Score 1) 71

The solution seems to be rather easy: if *any* part of a student's assignment is discovered to be written by AI, then it's instant failure. No ifs, no buts.
I would even go as far as having them write any assignment in class, in front of a teacher, and with pen and paper only, with immediate and inappellable ejection from the school when found cheating.
Let the parents scream as much as they want. For example, every time I have to sit through a youtube video of an English mother-tongue speaker trying to read some written text, I shudder. They don't seem to learn to read in school. What do they do all day? Watch informational videos? And using proper grammar when writing seems to be frowned upon, as 90% of the comments I see are written by people who have no clue about, for instance, the difference between "their", "they're", "there"; or what "it's" actually means versus "its"; and on and on.
Now with AI the human race is going to really regress to the stage of savages; I guess it's easier to live, that way, and to hell with "an unexamined life is not worth living". Nowadays we are going back to "panem et circenses".
âoeIf simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be, and we must be secret to keep them so,â says Aragorn.

Ok, people who don't care about grammar and spelling (or literacy) can start screaming now. That seems to be their normal modus operandi, doesn't it? Scream until the other party gives up.

Never heard of the guy. I imagine his content must be awful, if he's so famous.
Generally speaking, the more famouse someone is on youtube (or any other social media), the less it is worthy of knowing about them.
I guess my sponsorblock+adblock would hide most of his content.
Also, what is tiktok?

Comment Huh? (Score 1) 30

Digg? Never heard of it. Hearing that it will be AI-something, means I will certainly not look into it. Why do people fall for these stupidities?
how can people be so dumb? Well, they also for giving money to preachers and believing in ridiculous ideas like raptures and populism, so it's small wonder the world ia going down the drain...

Actually, I'd love to have one of those. Imagine how valuable they will be once Trump and his evil minions are finally kicked out! thankfully, I don't live in the banana-republic called USA, but I expect they will become very valuable, especially if accompanied by the story of the moron who actually wanted one because they worship the orange monkey himself.

Comment End of US imperialism? (Score 1) 207

Anyone crazy enough to travel to the US has only themselves to blame for getting sent to a concentration camp. MAGA people must be really dumb to not understand what is happening to their country. Hopefully, the latest failing war of aggression to Iran will spell the final crash of US imperialism (and anyhow they have lost every war since vietnam, so this will be no different).
I'd ratger have China as the number one world power... At least they don't declare war every time they have an internal political crisis.

Comment Happened to me too (Score 1) 52

I manage a small email server with a few dozen domains, and about a month ago we had this very issue blocking all our mails. I had to redirect all outgoing emails to outlook and a few other micro$oft domains through a smarthost (and drove me crazy in the meantime, not to mention our customers). I can't wait for everyone to jump from windows to linux (or macOS, bsd, anything), so that they can die the horrible death they deserve!

The Elon is a total snake-oil seller, and anyone with a working brain can see that. But if you get paid well to work on a project you know will not work, then why not? Suck the Elon dry while there are still idiots who give him money.
What should *not* happen, is governments financing any of his idiotic trash projects (anyone remembers the hyperloop fiasco? The cybertruck fiasco? And on and on...).

Comment "We take user privacy seriously" (Score 2) 21

Everytime I see "We take XYZ seriously" in a press release from any company, I know that they didn't give a damn, but they were caught red-handed.
Do they teach that sentence in public relation courses? It's 100% false. I read it in every report of a company doing something dodgy after having been exposed.
Couldn't they say something like "we are very sorry and we will fix the issue ASAP"? It might be a lie too, but it wouldn't sound so dishonest.
