Ok, I see. I understand.

BTW, Grammarly provides a grammar checker as well as a LLM writer's assistance tool.

Dyslexic here. Don't use general disabilities to excuse poor behavior. These people aren't cheating because they have a disability. They do it because they are cheaters.

You can use Grammarly to completely rephrase a piece of text in a manner that looked more polished than what we could do by ourselves if we put the effort.

That is, Grammarly is not just a spell-checker. It has AI writing assistant service, comparable (at least for writing/composition) to ChatGPT or CoPilot.

I work closely with my kids when they do their assignments, and I encourage them to use spell checking tools (those in MS Word or Grammarly) and to take note how the corrections take place (and why.)

I let them use the AI service to rephrase pieces of text, but I demand them they do the elbow grease first ("show me your work, those are interesting paragraphs, rephrase them here and here... ok, let's try Grammarly and see how you can make these sections better, and how you can integrate them back into your main/original writing.")

That is, the tool is supposed to assist you. It's not supposed to mindlessly rephrase it, which is what this kid did, and for which his idiotic parents went to bat with a lawyer. These parents suck.

LRMs like OpenAI's o1, or now the open source Deepseek R1 can do these problems just fine (they're still not perfect, but they're much better). Don't even bother with "strawberry", since everyone uses that example, pick something more obscure.

Note that LLMs are inherently disadvantaged in these, as they don't see "letters", but rather, tokens. And there's way more tokens than letters, and there's not going to be anything in the training dataset for most of them to explain how many of what letters are in them. But it's often possible for them to "backdoor" their way into spelling.

It does have some "advanced" capabilities, like rewording and offering feedback, but yeah. It's not ChatGPT.

Well they're setting him up for an excellent career on Wall Street

Even if this was actually accidental rather than 'accidental'; it's a bad look. Someone just deleted litigation-critical data? No data classification? No "let the retention policy handle the deletion instead of just cowboy purging stuff"? And then they tried to recover the data in a way that lost all file and folder names, rather than just restoring backups from your backup mechanism?

I'd honestly be curious to know what OpenAI's IT operations look like. Charitably presuming that it's not just outright destruction of evidence; it sounds like they've got eleventy-zillion dollars worth of 'AI' specialists and enough data scrapers to plunder the internet twice over and some engineers keeping the APIs running and so on; but the boring-beige-IT-computer-janitor-nonsense maturity of a vastly smaller company.

Heck, I worked for a random town's school department over a decade ago and they had backup policies set up that included the ability to mark things as under litigation holds and exempt from deletion through normal manual or scheduled actions(usually pretty low stakes stuff; but at least once or twice a year a parent would get really fighty about an IEP or something, and there litigation is litigation in terms of data preservation).

That's been a thing ever since we figured out that an ox can do the work of 5 men.

Bah to paid streaming services. I prefer my local storages. If I want to stream, then I will do my own with my own ripped medias from my bought discs

I'll buy it for a 10x multiple of annual expected profit.

The purpose of needrestart is to check if any running software is using packages that have since had new versions installed, so you can restart just the software that needs to be restarted rather than rebooting the whole machine. So of course it uses python to check python software, and perl to check perl software, etc. Nothing wrong with that. Using OS package manager dependencies would result in tons of false positives, and doing everything in a single language would result in a ton of reinventing the wheel and thus likely introduce more security bugs rather than use the functionality that the various language ecosystems already provide.

Same thing that happens now. They get addicted to the drugs that the government claims it's trying to get rid of and live homeless under a bridge.

That sounds like something a bot would say.

The more this goes on, the more I realise that those of us who actually do work have nothing to fear from AI related job losses.

These stupid publicity stunts are pathetic.
