  1. Growing dear leader's profile overseas at US taxpayer expense. "To celebrate USA's 250th."

    Unrelated: If you know anything about the quality and content of any "snack at a roadside stall" in Delhi, you'll see the irony of a *dietician* eating there.

    Dictators in Need

    They wake up every day in fear hearing the sounds of devastating opinion polls.
    Dictators in Need is an independent organisation helping #dictators and #autocrats worldwide who are in danger of losing power. Men like Viktor from #Hungary.

    Viktor did everything right:
    - Massive #corruption
    - Controlling the media and the justice system
    - #Misuse of public money (to build a swimming pool for his sheep)

  4. A #study testing 13 #LLMs found that all can be used to commit #academicfraud or facilitate #junkscience. While some models, like Claude, were more resistant to fraudulent requests, others, like Grok and early GPT versions, performed poorly. The study highlights the need for developers to implement stronger #safeguards against #misuse of LLMs. nature.com/articles/d41586-026 #tech #media #news

  6. 🚨 PSA: #Slopware is NOT the next big trend! 🚨 Apparently, being told your code is trash is just a "gentle nudge" towards improvement 🤔. Who knew that #AI #misuse could make your code even more of a mess? But hey, #learning #in #public is fine—as long as you're okay with everyone seeing your digital 'oopsies.' 😂

  8. I detest today's "AI" / LLMs [1] for many reasons, primarily ethical and moral. At the same time, I am fascinated by the misuse of said generative LLMs.

    In particular, I have seen a number of essays recently describing people misusing LLM output or relying on the LLM to produce most or all of an #assignment of some sort - even when they know they mustn't use the LLM in this fashion.

    Most of these have been in the context of #student use of LLMs to write assignments, even when they have been warned not to. One particularly egregious example was described by a university #professor, where he created an assignment in which it was easy to tell if the submitted work had been created with an LLM or not. A majority of the students - I don't recall the exact proportion, but it was something like 75%, a supermajority - used LLM. He discussed this with the class, and had those who had generated the assignment with LLM write a short essay (or apologia) -- and then found that something like half of them had used LLM to do *that* assigned work.

    Some professors have described their students as having their #thinking, #language, and #analysis #skills atrophy to the point of inability to do even basic work. It seems to me that it is like #addiction, in that they keep doing it despite knowing it is (a) forbidden, (b) easily detected, and (c) self-destructive.

    "The entire #industry should work to strengthen measures to prevent #misuse of #generativeAI models..

  28. *Related to my post from yesterday.

    #BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.

    The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.

    The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.

    The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.

    #BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.

    "Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.

    The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.

    According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.
