Seems to me you could write a script that:
- Parses a StackOverflow question
- Runs it through an AI text generator
- Posts the output as a post on StackOverflow
and basically pollute the entire information ecosystem there in a matter of a few months? How long before some malicious actor does this? Maybe it's being done already 🤷
What an asinine, short-sighted decision. An astonishing number of companies are actively reducing headcount because their executives believe they can use this newfangled AI stuff to replace people. But, like the dot com boom and subsequent bust, many of the companies going this direction are going to face serious problems when the hypefest dies down and the reality of what this tech can and can't do sinks in.
We really, really need to stop trusting important stuff to corporations. They are not tooled to last.
Dear Stack Overflow, Inc.
Stack Overflow is being inundated with AI-generated garbage. A group of 480+ human moderators is going on strike, because:
> Specifically, moderators are no longer allowed to remove AI-generated answers on the basis of being AI-generated, outside of exceedingly narrow circumstances. This results in effectively permitting nearly all AI-generated answers to be freely posted, regardless of established community consensus on such content.
>
> In turn, this allows incorrect information (colloquially referred to as "hallucinations") and plagiarism to proliferate unchecked on the platform. This destroys trust in the platform, as Stack Overflow, Inc. has previously noted.
It looks like StackOverflow Inc. is saying one thing to the public, and a very different thing to its moderators.
I'm enjoying summertime. Not around much at the moment.

@abucci Good theory, actually. Gotta think about that a bit.
There were definitely cooler ones, but today's sunset wasn't all too shabby. Still on the boring side, though.

@lyse @movq I've always liked the sound of crows, and I really really hate the sound of motorized vehicles, so I also find it absurd. I've come to think that some people are at some level afraid of nature, and nature sounds remind them of it.
@movq wow. I'd trade crow sounds for car sounds, or jet sounds, or leaf blower sounds, or lawn mower sounds, or.....100% of the time.
As far as fighting the birds goes, maybe they're right, but probably it'd be better to re-balance the ecosystem so that crows aren't so dominant? At least there are things to try. When it comes to reducing how much air travel people use, it takes a terrorist attack or a pandemic to affect it.
What ho! I've got nothing to say.
@movq I'm cursed. :-D Oh, you caught them in the act! Very lovely shots. Extremely good quality. :-)
@movq Absolutely looking forward to that! :-)
@movq Yep, I used that several years ago, too.
@prologic i have the mangopi riscv, works well, but I will get this new milkv here next. I have not seen that nanopi before, cool! Always fun with new stuff :)
@mckinley Ah, that even corrects wrong stuff automatically.
I just noticed that W3C validator now wants me to confirm that I'm a human… That's a sign to install one or the other tool on my machine.

@prologic Hi, glad to be here :) I discovered tilde community, gemini and gopher protocol through Mastodon and now twtxt, as well as your pod, thanks to gemini and some users which are using it.
But I'm very newbie and I have a lot of questions about ,..., 🤔 🤔 🤔 in reference to its use with a client like twtr, selfhosting txt file and so on...

@lyse Thanks. 😅
During this time of year, full moon rises at a point where I can see it from my balcony. And it rises close to objects on the earth, buildings and such. Makes the moon appear much larger when using high zoom levels. I missed that moment, it’s already too high. 😅 Maybe tomorrow or next month.

Let's see if it arrives at a reasonable timeframe 🤣 Cost me $110 AUD so not too bad, nice and compact.

@prologic My article I did a while back about no longer being solar powered, by the looks of it.
Based on some experimentation of the "Shipping Estimator" on the site, looks like they charge $70/kg for shipping. I'd better get two of 'em then 🤣

NanoPi R2S -- Thinking about getting a NanoPi R2S to play with, but if you try to get just one (_which presumably ships from China_) its estimated to cost about $70 in shipping to Australia 😱 That's 2x the cost of the product just in shipping alone?! wtf?! 🤦♂️
