Yea people really need to stop getting angry so quickly at headlines
Fuck AI@lemmy.world
Well there is a decently large fraction of students who are annoyed by the images; they just are quiet about it. The extent of the vandalism was mainly just taping paper slips with messages such as “cut the slop” to the posters. It’s not too wild, so I hoped it would embolden others to resist this usage of gen ai.
Fuck AI@lemmy.world
Well the offending image is only one in a slide of very useful information, so sabotaging the entire device would not work.
I actually told a person at the front desk about it and that I was willing to make a meme to replace that slide (the ai image was an attempt at a cartoon/meme telling the graduating class to back up their files). School ended before admin could look at my request (or they ignored it, but the front desk person seemed enthusiastic), but the intention was to promote human made stuff over gen ai instead of annoying admin with a problem that wouldnt get a message across.
The vandalism of the poster was aggressive and didn’t promote human creativity, but at least it was a message for everyone.
Fuck AI@lemmy.world
Thank you; I have noticed that for some reason I tend to adjust the extremity of my action to create balance in my environments, eg if no one is attacking something, in this case gen ai, I feel the need to ramp up my own aggression. I will try to control that.
To summarise, do you think we should encourage anti gen ai sentiment and wait for it to boil over and meanwhile just observe and dont beat ourselves up over it and let social forces do the work?
Fuck AI@lemmy.world
THANK YOU for actually being someone in this community proactively wanting to mobilise others against AI instead of merely complaining about it! I really hope more anti AI communities will start to shift toward this type of discussion.
Anyways, something I do to fight gen AI is at my school, I keep a constant pressure against any AI generated content whenever possible. For example, when the school puts up AI generated posters seeking middle school camp counselors, I attach aggressive messages such as “cut the slop” and the “we need to kill ai artist” meme and immediately put more on if any are removed in order to keep up the pressure. Eventually the posters are removed entirely. (The posters are still readable and retain their original utility, but instead of making the school walls uglier, they constantly serve as a warning.)
The pot has holes in the bottom such that it was possible for soil to trickle out. Should I wait a while without watering and see if it gets better?
No, this is my first pineapple that took root well in soil.

Well the modern usage of “bisexual” regarding sexual orientation has also found its way into science, evidenced by the lack of prominent scientific synonyms
Which again is irritating because scientific terminology shouldn’t be this lax
I think “bisexual” only references two sexes because it was created to describe a phenomenon related to sexual reproduction which evolved to occur between two main sexes; the term was unrelated to gender

It could also be applied to animals meaning something that nowadays would be described as “intersex”.
I just think this meaning makes much more sense than “being attracted to two (later multiple) sexes”. If about sexuality and not sex, “bisexual” should just mean “with sexuality related to the number two” based on the etymology.
Now that I think about it I think I just threw the term “plastic” in because I thought it would give a rough area of inquiry because I read that “plastics” were base resistant.
Actually scratch that; what I was ultimately trying to find out was some examples of base resistant biological building materials, not necessarily plastics.
Apologies for being confused about terminology; I just finished my first year of chemistry
Actually it originally refers to having two sexes. Aka hermaphroditic.
I really hate how the word “sexual” has evolved in meaning into “relating to the activity that evolved to happen between the two main sexes”. We have the perfectly good Greek root “ero” and for some reason we have gradually muddled up the meaning of “sexual”.
I think my classmates think it’s efficient partly because many of them ask it about stuff they didn’t pay attention to because they were yapping amongst themselves during class so they can’t even tell when the AI is pulling a fast one, they just get a nebulous and possibly correct understanding of the material which is better than nothing
I suppose a better question is how to remove AI as a lifeline for lazyboneses or take away its appeal but the former would involve dealing with authorities and I have little support on this in my school 😭

I think it depends on the extent to which an individual influences the end result. If the paper roll is pre made and the individual is merely placing it in its intended place, then that is different from carefully arranging notes and effects in a DAW.

AI imagery in a non art context
I am seeing AI generated images become increasingly prevalent in cases where imagery has a utility such as on posters, flyers etc. Some of it is created and distributed by large entities such as my school or a gym, whose size actually makes the imagery easier to fight.

What's wrong with my pineapple plant?
I live in the PNW near Seattle, but because it is summertime, nighttime temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees celsius and daytime temperatures are around 27.
..thats even worse 💀

What parts of music theory should one learn after having a basic understanding of keys?
I currently know how the circle of fifths works and how different modes work.

What kinds of animal tissues are resistant to base corrosion?
Im doing a bit of worldbuilding involving some molluscs in an alkaline lake. I read that plastics are resistant to base corrosion and later that some plastics such as polyethylene can be produced using organic materials such as ethanol from fermentation. I was thinking that these molluscs could ferment consumed plants and produce polyethylene in their bodies to create a base-resistant shell that would help them survive. (old content) Along with some other adaptations, I am wondering if they could viably develop shells made of a material resistant to base corrosion and would like some real life examples.

How can I convince fellow lazy students that they shouldn't need chatbots to help them learn?
My high school is known for being sweaty because it has IB but also people use AI all the time here, to the extent that “chatgpt” is used as a verb. Unfortunately my classmates just want to get through their work as easily and possible and grab the diploma.
