Judging from the following comments, it seems we may have found the Israeli/Russian/Chinese/North Korean disinformation farmer.

Israel has no jurisdiction in international waters. Boarding a vessel uninvited under those circumstances is an illegal aggression. Some states would consider it an act of war.

BDS is the only tool ordinary people have. Use it.

I’m truly sorry for the collateral damage that sane Israelis will suffer as a result.

Why didn’t they just go ahead and require government approved forms signed in triplicate and notarized? Schedule romantic encounters well in advance to avoid a rape conviction.

Rape is one of the worst crimes. I don’t know what the answer is, but this doesn’t seem to be it.

Not that I think many in Poland were swayed by Noem’s endorsement, but when does the EU sanction the US for election interference?

Private Security Camera (literature.cafe)
submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

Is anyone else genuinely not interested in knowing what should be private details of another adult's health? I'm happy to point students to helpful resources that I know about, but treating them is not my job, nor am I interested in the liability of being seen as some sort of first responder. This is well and truly out of my wheelhouse, and I work to keep it that way.

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?

Interesting read. Since he likely knows a lot of these teams, nothing is stopping him emailing them gift cards.

Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.

The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

What do you all think of the College Board’s AP program?

In another thread, @[email protected] made a post leading to the question "How long until we need to include a lesson on crafting appropriate AI prompts in order to help students use them as tools and not as unpaid ghost writers?" Are we already doing this?

I definitely discuss acceptable use and try to keep the guidelines brief and familiar (Treat it like a not-too-bright friend who's a patient sounding board). But how far do you all think we'll eventually have to wade into the weeds on this?

Cheating with AI (literature.cafe)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I know that we're all still feeling our way around this issue, but how are other profs handling it? What is good evidence of unauthorized AI use? How do you handle a student who refuses to engage in attempts to get their side of the story?

For my classes, we talk once a month or so about acceptable use (treat it like a not-very-bright friend who's overconfident and prone to hallucinations). It's okay to brainstorm, bounce ideas, and generally use AI to spark creative problem solving. It's not okay to have it do your assignments.

This reads like a statement from a vulture capitalist who plans to break up the company and sell the parts to make a quick buck. One would think they would focus on building trust, not giving yet more devs reasons to use a different engine.

In other words, “Our Indian moderation subcontractor applied Indian law to Canadian posts in Canada. Oops.”

Who the hell thinks beta software is appropriate for real-world applications in something as dangerous as vehicle control at highway speeds?

I've come to believe that all Teslas should be recalled until they get their act together. They're getting people hurt and killed by field testing their experiments on roadways that we paid for.

People don’t like offices and are more productive when they’re happy. Who knew?
