@VeeRat
The concept of just using AI to write or summarize shit for you is fucking anti science. There is neuro science that highly supports that engaging the brain thru writing is one of many ways that helps with learning and remembering.
Keep on writing!
*Also maybe we should be asking these AI zombies how much time they spent reviewing their AI writings and verifying (yeah.... verifying!) the output. From the peeps I know using AI to write for them, they don't verify what's been written đ¤Śââď¸ -

New boss: âYouâre good at writing notes.â
Me: âThank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.â
New boss: âYou should try CoPilot and see what it can do.â
Me: âWell I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.â
New boss: âLet me show you something I did in CoPilot.â
Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot wonât benefit me when itâs the act of writing that works for me.
@VeeRat@zeroes.ca It's also good for thinking. It's very common for me to write something down and discover that it makes no sense or that I made an incorrect assumption.
Using an LLM would free me of from the burden of finding out I was wrong... letting me stay wrong forever. -

@VeeRat
When I'm learning new things, especially if I need to remember information for a test, I have to write the study notes by hand in order for it to stick. -

@VeeRat I am a tech dork with paper notebooks and fancy pens, that shit works!
And when everything fails, I note the time, to eventually check the logs and build a timeline.

Seriously.
The goal is to destroy critical thinking and make us dependent on tools that are under their total surveillance and algorithmic control.
@violetmadder @yetzt @N01100010 @VeeRat EXACTLY, cuz #Neofeudalism works best when everyone worships an "#Oracle" instead of using their own brains!

@VeeRat This fits the "performative processing" theory of management that seems to be going viral through corporate culture these days. In that model, the process of creating the product is prioritized over the output of the process. The end result is an expensive product that includes a lot of fancy buzzwords but doesn't perform as advertised.

Also, Copilot literally makes shit up when it takes notes. There are a dozen malpractice lawsuits in the system right now bc doctors used Copilot and its errors seriously endangered the lives of their patients.
I know you can't, but you should just tell him "I prefer my notes to be accurate".

@VeeRat yes!!! Classic note taking studying techniques. Writing it out (not typing) sticks it in my brain.

@VeeRat You are so right. I'm sure many of us don't ever want to become AI zombies. There is little point in existing if our mental capacities are set aside. The huge push to insert AI into every aspect of our lives is annoying and unwanted. Let us use the brains and intelligence we were born with. It will always be smarter and more creative than AI.

@johnzajac @VeeRat Also the number of show-cause hearings for lawyers (and law firms, and departments of justice) who used genAI to write motions with made-up case citations. A few have progressed to sanctions hearings, and at least one to the dissolution of the law firm in question.
Meanwhile I'm in the middle of cleaning up a complete fustercluck in code that pre-dates genAI, it's _all_ down to human stupidity. We don't need any help screwing things up.

@VeeRat Summarisation requires judging what the most important parts of the text are and discarding the rest. LLMs are word predictors and are fundamentally incapable of that kind of judgement which means that they are fundamentally incapable of reliable summarisation. If what you've written *can* be accurately summarised by an LLM, that suggests it's extremely simple and you've added a bunch of useless fluff. Get rid of the fluff and don't bother with a summary.

@VeeRat Dealing with this right now in the school I teach at. We had a training about how to use/implement rubrics and were given the task to create a rubric for a random assignment in 20 minutes.
Everyone turned to the school's AI platform. I just banged out a five criteria rubric with four points in about 15 minutes. I know what's in it, because I created it. Everyone else was still adjusting their prompts after 20 minutes.
I'm really starting to feel like the last person standing in a zombie movie. When our AI platform was rolled out (last year) I was assured it was only a tool and I could choose to use it or not. I have not touched it.
Now, I'm subtly being told that the school spent a lot of money on the platform and we should be using it at least once a day. I still haven't touched it.
I mean, dude, your bad investment is not my problem!

Building a Neatly Framed Word Clock
Reading analog clocks is a pretty straightforward skill to learn. However, if youâve already learned to read and donât want to pick up the extra skill, a word clock is a perfect solution for telling time. [povey_tech] found some nice examples in the wild but didnât appreciate the price, so he set about building his own.
The build is based around an ESP32 microcontroller. While many projects in this vein would use the onboard wireless connectivity to query network time servers, in this case, the board relies on the user manually setting the time and a DS1307 real-time-clock module to keep a steady tick. Also onboard is a VEML7700 ambient light sensor, which the microcontroller uses to control the brightness of the WS2812 LEDs inside the board.
The words themselves are laser cut out of acrylic panels, with everything set inside a tidy oak picture frame. A layer of anti-reflective glass in front helps cut down on glare, while [povey_tech] was so kind as to implement two LEDs per letter to allow for lovely color gradients to be displayed. Configuring the clock is easy thanks to a webpage hosted on the ESP32 that allows for control of dimming modes, colors, and setting the time. Home Assistant integration is something planned for the future.
Weâve seen many great word clocks over the years. Perhaps the biggest leap forward in this world was the development of the addressable LED strip which made constructing these clocks much easier.
