Reply to comment by CarCaste in Google case at Supreme Court risks upending the internet as we know it by dustofoblivion123

Haha. Do you even know what fascism is?

I'm saying It's the end of liability free behaviour by major social media and online news service entities.. like a normal business, they should not be able to promote lies, incite violence or terrorism, host criminal material. That's being civilised. Even the Wild West had rules. It's not like they're a bunch of teenagers working out of their parents basement anymore. They're bigger and vastly more powerful than companies that are heavily regulated.

I think we are all getting to the end of endless self actualisation... even paedophiles are trying to normalise their behaviour as a sexual deviation or compare it to being something relatively normal like being gay rather than an evil act.. that's because they can congregate and normalise online.

Then for the sake of people like me, I hope that that tradition goes away. I’d probably rather have a root canal or wisdom teeth out, than face an 8 page paper due in 12 hours, ever again.
(Except for writing classes, where the essay itself really is the point, of course)

Too late for me, but I’d be happy if future generations don’t have to go through that, while still learning.

Probably holograms because it solves a lot of material cost of producing a screen. Also the size and shape of phone are determined by the screen. With a hologram projector a "phone" could be any size or shape.

A hologram projector is also much more energy efficient (no source though) as compared to modern day screens.

Here is an example of Hologram technology applied in Japan.

Yes. The student's information. The AI cannot interpret, interact, nor can it, by definition, be unique. The AI cannot be used by a student as a crutch get out of developing their own assessments, as is done presently - & the essay is still an excellent medium to do this.

> The end goal has never been to write an essay, it’s just to convey information. Far more important than the essay itself is information being conveyed

As someone who loathed writing essays/papers for school… if this is true, couldn’t we just write bullet points, a bulleted list?
There’s so much extra time needed, to check grammar, ensure sentences flow together nicely, good transitions between paragraphs, don’t use the same transition words every time, satisfying conclusion and introduction, etc etc.

Could save so much time, if the essay itself isn’t really the point anyway (outside of english/writing class).
Especially for those of us who aren’t gifted writers. So many late nights, all nighters in college finishing starting 5 or 10 page papers the day before they’re due.

Oh, Sam's calculator shtick. Yeah I fundamentally disagree with that. Writing is not the same as Arithmetic. The goal of an essay is not to convey information, but for the student to internalize the concepts & present their interpretation & interaction with the ideas in a compelling & unique way. AI-assisted tools, at least with the strength of ChatGPT, negate this process to the detriment of most of academia. The struggle is the process.

This sounds really nice chatgpt, but it doesn't help us prevent an overwhelming number of bots using the platform.

> However, it's important to remember that Reddit, as well as other social media platforms, currently have human moderators and administrators who oversee the platform's operations. These individuals are responsible for ensuring that the platform remains safe and free from harmful content.

There are only inconsistent tools for these human operators to keep up with identifying LLM generated responses right now now, there will be virtually no ability for them to filter out what's coming in a year or more.

Most comments on reddit are still from people, even though we don't know specifically who is a bot or a human. Once we reach a threshold where you're more likely to engage with a bot than a person, what's the incentive to use reddit? We could all just talk to our AI assistant programs directly.

> Am I missing something in my assessment?

Something you may be missing is that these models are being made available to collect data from users to make them better. Is data valuable to competitors commonly shared by competitors?

Also ever peek at charts showing how GPU power is growing vs time? In perhaps a decade our pocket devices may be locally running the current models. Anything done now will not help in the long run. I expect the various efforts to detect AI writing and AI art will add up to nothing because the error rates will be too high to be useful.
