It has already happened

Tea bricks were the preferred form of currency over metallic coins for the nomads of Mongolia and Siberia. The tea could not only be used as money and eaten as food in times of hunger but also brewed as allegedly beneficial medicine for treating coughs and colds. Until World War II, tea bricks were still used as a form of edible currency in Siberia

Money can be anything.

What I was fishing for. Thanks.

Chatgpt is decidedly unerotic in its responses.

Not voting at all is just laziness.

Spoiled ballots may have some long term influence. But they have no power over the election being boycotted.

Certainly not. But choosing to punish at this precise opportunity would be like shooting your own feet.

Punish at the local level. Punish by supporting voting reform. Etc.

You have to think of the lack of primary as a sunk cost. The decision in front of you is independent of all previous decisions.

Grobow v. Perot, 539 A.2d 180 (Del. 1988).

Directors in a business should:

• act in good faith;
• act in the best interests of the corporation;
• act on an informed basis;
• not be wasteful;
• not involve self-interest (duty of loyalty concept plays a role here).

It is a legal obligation.

Nope. There are these obligations but it is not illegal for a CEO to perform sub optimally, or even make multi year losses.

I thought it was a spice.

Disagree. Diplomatic channels should always be open because alternative forms of communication are usually violent.

Have you not seen the videos that come out of there?

Mostly Agreed. I think the “in your own words” part will be debated strongly over the next few years. Will proof of writing your own prompt be sufficient?

LLMs are certainly trained without consent, but they exist to spot common patterns. It’s only likely to plagiarise if that text is also similar to lots of other text.

In fact, the academic practice of references and exact quotes has actually increased the tendency of statistical models to “plagiarise”.

LLM will continue to be a useful academic tool. We just have to learn how best to incorporate them into our testing.

the parents are entitled and enabling pricks and don’t have legal ground to stand on.

After reading that the exam rules basically said not to use chatgpt or similar, I completely agree.

And what if you had an app on your phone that let you just take a picture of the question, and write out the answer it gave you?

At college level, the question setter should ensure they are testing something where this is not possible.

It’s not really a calculator because it gives different answers. Newer moldels can give attribution (e.g. bing copilot).

My opinion is that LLMs are not going to go away. Testing needs to adapt to focus on the human element. Marks are no longer lost for bad handwriting.

No, you’d be penalising yourself (except if you got the wolfram alpha plugin working).

Professors should be setting exams that chatgpt can’t hope to solve.

Then the parents deserve to lose and pay all costs of both parties.

How do you feel about autocorrect? Plagiarism is still plagiarism.

It sounds like all schools should explicitly state no LLM or equivalent on their assignments.

If I used a calculator on a maths test I should only be penalised if the rules stated no calculators.
