I mean, it cited the exact line in the other hospitals EA, that's what deep research mode does. Methinks you don't know how far chatgpt has come, and are just basing it off of the original models?

helping along the death of the internet

Am I? Chastising those on Lemmy for using AI, are they the cause of the dead internet theory? Or is that caused by bot farms manipulating social media algorithms? Just because a hammer builds weapons doesn't mean one should ban the hammer.

You may not contribute to scraped sites

I disagree, AI is likely a solution to worsening forums and the like - boring old repeated questions will be answered by AI, anything more unique and interesting will be asked of real people.

I like gathering information

Unless you're doing your own physical research on every possible query and question, you're just as complicit as an AI user for gathering secondary information. You reading a blog post on a topic is no better than me reading an AI summary of 1,000 blog posts.

Bubble bursts

That's like getting angry at McDonalds for the 80s recession, because a bunch of secondary investors bet on it's perpetual success. Thats not the fault of McDonalds OR LLMs.

These are lazy, illogical complaints about a new technology from reactionary conservative thinking, the same thing was said about the internet when you were younger, of TV when your parents were younger, and of the radio, and of the phonograph, and of the camera etc etc. Get with the times OLD MAN.

I mean, sure, if you use it to write an essay of course it's gonna impede knowledge retention. But that's the equivalent of going "the ctrl-c/ctrl-v command is associated with reduced pre-frontal cortex activation".

I mean, I don't care if people refuse to get on board with new tech, but it screams a lack of understanding of the tech. People are going "musk bad, Altman bad, tech bro bad" and going "therefore chatgpt bad".

Na chatgpt good, handy, I fed it my current Employee Enterprise Agreement and the previous 2, and asked via deep research for a comparison of them all, against comparable businesses to see if our pay increases were fair. Ive got a meeting today to argue for increases, after ChatGPT found that we were a little under. What a brilliant tool!

Part of the learning process is working and searching for an answer

That logic can be used to poo-poo literally any study aid. Why is watching a YouTube video on how to tamp a post superior to a chatgpt summary?

Why take the train when you should "expend an iota of effort" and make the 3 hour walk to work?

This is unsound logic that I expect on Reddit, not Lemmy. Go continue your crusade against the spinning jenny, small-minded Luddite.

Fair enough, so why not use it while it's there?

Makes people less inclined to fight or ignore it when there's a time limit like that.

Yeah but the yanks voted FOR the convicted felon insurrectionist rapist. That deserves SOME ire from the Commonwealth.

Eww Bad Empanada? That guy is unreasonably gross.

We tried that in NZ, then conservatives got in power and just pressed ctrl z. Their argument was that tobacco taxes provided more income than that lost to public healthcare, but that was just a boldfaced lie.

Conservatives are literally a cancer on society.

The obvious feedback is be honest and tell them, but then again Indian parents are a different deal. My friend is now married to an Indian girl, and they lied about their relationship for about a year. She was "hanging out with friends" pretty much every weekend. She was "looking forward to sharing a bed after the wedding". And it worked out for them, she didn't get her relationship meddled in and they're none the wiser.

 

Mrs and I tried lab grown fois gras quail, apparently the first in Australia. Amazing to be able to buy this in a restaurant, after hearing about it year after year.

It was certainly meaty, a flavour you simply don't get with any meat-free chicken, really pungent and distinct (not that I've ever had dead quail).

A place called Bottarga in Brighton, Melbourne. Wasn't cheap, but I'd pay top dollar to support the transition.

 

Back in 2017, with no prior coding or game development experience, I decided to learn Unity and started work on Game Over.

Up until the pre-release reviews were giving it 10/10, 8.5/10 & 8/10 (Pizza Fria, Checkpoint Gaming, Thumb Culture respectively), I was dead set nervous that the game might be no good.

It comes out today on Steam (in half an hour, feel like I'm gonna barf). I've met some of my best playtesters here on Lemmy, so I'm happy to announce it here specifically!

Made a book lamp (aussie.zone)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by threeduck@aussie.zone to c/diy@beehaw.org
 

Pieces required. Three books from a thrift store ($6) pretty books are everywhere it seems! Australian lamp fitting with switch from AliExpress ($11), 3w LED bulb from AliExpress ($14).

Things I needed to buy: 40mm drill bit to drill through the books to fit the lamp socket ($12). Clamps to hold the books down during surgery ($20 for two).

Things I already had: PVA glue to attach the books together and seal the pages. Drill and 8mm drill bit, to feed the wire though and out the back of the bottom book. Soldering iron, I had to break open the light switch and snip the wires off to feed JUST the power cable through the drill hole I'd made (power plug too big)

I'm no DIY expert, and this was a fairly easy project. No major hurdles, and it looks great on my homemade ladder shelf.

 
 

"Lemmy at em!" says some wisecracking character in my video game maybe, in a referential nod to a relatively niche community in an attempt to appeal.

For the past six years I've been working on Game Over, a Comedy Rhythm RPG, and maybe you'll like it?

There's a little demo on Steam and also one on itch.io which you can play free of charge! What a deal! What a sweet treat for yourself and friends!

Also I don't have a complaints form, so if you have any, please comment below and I will angrily defend myself and take potshots at you.
