The enthusiasm of youth asks "Can it be done?" The bitter wisdom of experience asks "Should it be done?". Far too much has been done that should not have been, and not done that should have been. The world burns. Wisdom weeps: "Told you so".

@wilbowma@types.pl I find the use of generative AI morally repugnant in most circumstances and this action by @ACM@mastodon.acm.org to corrupt my work in this way is deeply offensive. #GenAI

@joey We have had a few students grumbling about how reading GenAI summaries of the teaching materials is not enough to pass the exams, because, shock horror, we expect students to actually read the details.

@afwaller@mastodon.social @alexjsp@mastodon.social I have never used Instagram but the impression I get from talking to others about it is that they don't do antispam so it wouldn't surprise me if they are totally under resourced for corruption investigations.

Replying to @vijay@discuss.systems
@vijay@discuss.systems Some places have found ways of doing this well. e.g. Oxford Computer Security had Katherine Fletcher for a while doing really excellent work making things work better. It can also go badly wrong though with "New Public Management" philosophies that involve even more metrics. Both right people and right structures required.
