The employees secretly using AI at work (www.bbc.com)

Berlin-based business consultant Matt and his colleague were among the first at their workplace to discover ChatGPT, mere weeks after its release. He says the chatbot transformed their workdays overnight. “It was like discovering a video game cheat,” says Matt. “I asked a really technical question from my PhD thesis, and...

The article: “I asked a really technical question from my PhD thesis, and it provided an answer that no one would be able to find without consulting people with very specific expertise."

Me waiting for the part where the AI hallucinated and he got an F on his thesis:

I mean, it might have worked out, but you have to be very careful when asking LLMs for factual information. I’ve tried it at my work and it gave me info that contradicted that from experts.

So I tied a salmonella-ridden bag of precut onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

Do you have a recorded voicemail greeting? There are techniques now to train an AI voice on as little as 3 seconds of audio.

Makes sense.

But is it just me that’s unaffected by such a script? I’m just like “Death threats? shrugs Fair enough.” Unity threatened a lot of dev’s livelihoods. What did they expect, for them all to just roll over and take it?

This is one of the greatest comments of all time

imo refunding after 10 hours is not the right thing to do, and could undermine the whole refund system if it becomes a common thing people do.

The original idea for allowing refunds for digital games (or anything, really) is if you get a broken or defective product. If the game won’t launch, or it’s a buggy unplayable mess, or not what was advertised (and I’m talking blatant false advertising, not some vague speculative comments) you get a refund. If you simply don’t like the game, then you need to own it that you made a bad purchase and move on. It happens.

This is why it’s important to wait for reviews and actual gameplay on YouTube/Twitch first, so you have a much better understanding of what you’re getting. Hell, this why YTers/streamers get free codes on release, so their audience will see the game and want to go buy it.

It’s been said a million times over but I guess it needs saying again: STOP 👏 PRE-ORDERING 👏 VIDEO 👏 GAMES

I’ve downloaded it on two devices already. It’s on the Starfield - Standard Edition page, not the premium edition one. The usual play button will say “Pre-load install”.

Exactly. I read the headline and was like: no, that’s what corporations want - for you to sacrifice pay or something else so they don’t lose out.

Most corps have posted record profits these past few years - they can afford to let their workers work a day less without reducing their pay, they just don’t want to admit it.

This is exactly why I’ve never played a Monster Hunter game, despite how fun it looks.

I don’t want to hunt the monster, I want to be the monster. Or at least befriend it and help take down the rude humans constantly trying to stab it.

If you’re coming over from reddit, try sub.rehab

It lists most of the popular subs and their fediverse equivalents. E.g. the community you’re looking for sounds like Reddit’s r/showerthoughts, which has

kbin.social/m/showerthoughts

lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts

squabbles.io/s/showerthoughts

communities in the fediverse.

Even if you haven’t used reddit, a lot of the sub names are pretty self-explanatory apart from some of the cryptic/memey named ones.

As far as I can tell I think it does require a separate login. I’m still relatively new to the fediverse and had a friend recommend squabbles, but I’ve already made an account here so have been trying to figure this out too tbh. Hopefully someone can correct me if it is possible.

While logged in, go to your settings (hamburger menu in top right > drop-down arrow on your profile name > settings) and there’s a second tab called “Blocks” - can you undo it from there?
