Horrified/entertained to hear my daughter tell me that, on her recent flight, she watched the woman in the seat in front of her fill out a "pastoral pre-marital counseling" form by pasting answers from #ChatGPT.

"How should household tasks be divided in a marriage?"

[ChatGPT in another tab] How should household tasks be divided in a marriage? --> paste output

"What are three fears you have about marriage?"

[ChatGPT] What are three fears people have about marriage? --> paste output

etc.

After I got done terror-laughing I asked if this person looked about 18 years old.

"No, she was about 30."

We are fucked.

I know #AI is controversial, especially on @Mastodon, but I think it's possible to have #AIforGood

I wanted to remove the friction of adding good alt text to images on Mastodon and also to help people write better alt text, especially since the built-in "Add text from image" is insufficient for that.

So, I created a browser extension/add-on for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari called "Alt Text for the Fediverse"

It's Mastodon-only now, but I may add others.

There's a new meat eating hype. Meat companies are telling everyone people would have more energy if they only ate more meat. Employers are getting huge meat lunches for their employees and expecting a productivity boost. Against their better judgement, employees are stuffing themselves with loads of meat and struggling to work. But eventually, they figure out how to eat more and be more productive. In the meantime, a lot of people (including meat eaters) are crying over the obvious climate and health harm, both from increased meat consumption and from increased waste as people throw away even more food.

Meat eaters now put up a big banners of what meat they like, and invite others to join them with meat. More people are becoming vocally vegan, or at least trying to limit their meat consumption. Some also put "vegan" or even more aggressive "no meat allowed" signs.

Some meat eaters think it's fine to bring offering of meat to a stranger if they didn't put up an explicit "vegan" sign yet. "I won't get offensed, I'll just throw it in the trash", they say. Some go even further and try to trick you by saying it's actually a vegan meat-lookalike.

"We cannot choose to become idiots." When Brown University economics professor Roberto Serrano gave his students a take-home midterm for the first time, most of them did suspiciously well. Suspecting widespread AI use, he voided the results and told students he would reweigh the final, after which 18 students dropped out. The average score on the final was 48.6 percent, a historic low. Serrano spoke to Inside Higher Ed about the university administration's response, and how he believes they should respond to AI-enabled cheating.

Much of AI "productivity gains" come from managers implicitly trusting an LLM to do a good job, and suspending the onerous micromanagement that humans employees get subjected to.

You can do that without paying Anthropic a single penny. It just requires letting the experts you hired do their jobs.
