My gawds, some people need to learn what's a homage and also stop being upset on behalf of others. This comic is fine, stop bellyaching. This is what terminal permission culture does to a motherfucker.

The only person who should care about anything other than the quality is Randall. However since he licensed it CC BY-NC 2.5 how he feels about it doesn't really matter either.

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

We can probably infer by the licensing that he's cool with it.

I think people should be concerned about things on others' behalfs. We all need to stick together.

This situation is a send-up though. Totally not a concern.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Oh definitely! I just meant in this particular case.

What is terminal permission if I may ask?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Permission culture is a term primarily criticizing copyright law. Something that I would expect db0 to agree with! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

if someone is actually using ai to grade papers I'm gonna LITERALLY drink water

A new ripoff of an old classic

[–] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

In a version that doesn’t even fully make sense. With databases there is a well-defined way to sanitize your inputs so arbitrary commands can’t be run like in the xkcd comic. But with AI it’s not even clear how to avoid all of these kinds of problems, so the chiding at the end doesn’t really make sense. If anything the person should be saying β€œI hope you learned not to use AI for this”.

Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.

I honestly didn't notice that - it was a bit small and pixelated, good catch

Reminds me of: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/

A guy thought it would be funny to change his license plate to NULL.

More like "And I hope you learned not to trust the wellbeing and education of the children entrusted to you to a program that's not capable of doing either."

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Well that would require too much work invested into stealing of https://xkcd.com/327/

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

It's really easy, just throw an error if you detect a program will cause a halt. I don't know why these engineers refuse to just patch it.
