It took me a moment to notice those weren’t specifically security terms…

The “fuck spez” map drawing from Reddit

Yeah I agree

The absolute lack of any kind of consistency with layout or alignment makes me cringe too.

It’s just shows how they’re just glued onto the page with no care or planning. Especially no consideration to the user or user experience.

I literally downloaded this two days ago. Wtf

Ghostery has an “auto-reject cookies” setting.

It’s not on mine yet.

So some a/b testing maybe

Thank you for letting me know. I will too.

It could be a new level added to the peer review of work. Nothing to do with the university. Just “other professionals”.

A thesis isn’t just an exam, it’s a real scientific paper.

And usually claims is contents as fact, which can be referenced by others as fact.

And absolutely should be open to scrutiny so long as it is relevant.

Yeah but if your wrote your thesis in 2024, and the detector is run on it in 2026…

You’re probably busted.

It’s not like you’ll re-write your thesis with every major ChatGPT release.

I bet AI detection is going to get a lot better over time.

I wonder if there’s going to be retrospective testing of theses as time goes on.

Could really damage some careers down the line.

Edit: guys, retrospective testing means it was done later (i.e. with a more up to date AI detector).

I jump between languages so much I can never remember the structure.

for item in items? Or item of items or items as item?

Best to just have the IDE auto complete it.

Subverting the will and attention autonomy of the user is a premium feature now.

Ah yes, the American dream.

I worked at an ad agency and we’d literally have every user’s email, name, phone etc in random spreadsheets that everyone had access to.

As an intern I had root access to just about everything on the company server because I was one of the people who “knew computers” who wasn’t a dev.

There was constant debate about how to trick people into giving over their data etc (e.g. email sign-up for some free crap that you never actually got). Or getting people to allow apps permission to access their contacts, as then you’ve got 100 new people, and enough info about them to get them to open a spam email.

Also, if the user fell for a trick, their details are suddenly high value, as they are dumb enough to be a “mark” (or maybe their English isn’t very good), so their stuff can be sold to scam companies or just scummy people.

Privacy is a layer of defence, and shitty people feel entitled to take it away from you.

This has sent me down such a rabbit-hole.

I thought Ray Liotta did the voice for Michael. This whole time.

Like how the Trevor actor’s face is used for Trevor, I assumed they used a (de-aged) Ray Liotta’s likeness/MoCap.

That’s so strange. I’m surprised Ray didn’t have anything to say about it (or maybe he did and it’s forgotten now).

Ash is a badass and a legend.

Apparently you need to clear the plugin’s cache semi-regularly.

As sometimes it won’t update itself as fast.

So I guess in that case part of the trick is confusing himself.

If he’s not sure what he said, it’s tough to rule it as a lie.

I guess it depends on if the nose grows with untrue information, or lies.

Because if it’s lies all he needs to do is THINK it’s the truth and his nose won’t grow.

If his nose grows because the information is not true, then this is one hell of a power. You could get him to theorise on the meaning of life.
