Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic@mamot.fr) "Quantity has a quality all its own. These businesses aren't just wasting billions – they're replacing skilled workers with defective chatbots. As I've written before, AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." https://www.thenerve.news/p/cory-doctorow-ai-business-incentive-to-lie-useless-chatbots-report-nikhil-suresh #AI #llm #aibubble

@RockyC@fosstodon.org It is impressive, but I dislike how the ideas are expressed.

An open source project like #Moodle is a collaborative and cooperative venture. Although I enjoy the kudos I get from presenting the plugins I work on, they draw on help and feedback from many people. One of my final slides gave a list of some of the people who have contributed to my #AIText and #AssignmentAIF plugins. Apologies for anyone I have missed off.

I have highlighted @PhilippMemmel@bildung.social in this screenshot as he has contributed a huge amount.

I have been working on my presentation for #MoodleMootEstonia25 where I will present the AI Text and Assignment AIF #Moodle plugins. These require access to an external #LLM and I wanted to emphasise they are "bring your own infererence" tools and will include the graphic attached.

@JoeRess@fosstodon.org The saying "you don't get the ginger, you won't get your supper" is a proverb that emphasizes the importance of preparation and diligence in achieving a desired outcome. In this case, it means that if you don't have the necessary ingredient (ginger), you won't be able to complete the dish (supper). The proverb highlights the idea that neglecting a small detail can have a significant impact on the overall result. Here's a more detailed explanation: Ginger as a Symbol: bla bla bla
