here we go again
do I have a case against either my institution, the professor who threw it out or OpenAI?
This all seems like such recent technology, I can not imagine this question being very answerable except via the long way: a courtroom. I suspect it would take someone trying in order to set precedent.
Any tool for productivity improvement is seen by leadership as a way to heap more work onto each individual worker. More work per worker means more profit per hour the worker is paid.
Our economic reality is diametrically opposed to this concept people seem to naively hold of “automation making things easier”, or somehow needing to work less for the same money because “computers are doing it”. No, that benefit does not ever visit the worker, it goes right to the owners.
Cartographers will do this with small non-existent roads, too. They’re called “trap streets”!
Weird, users can’t access the site, so ad revenue goes down?? Nobody can blame Elon, that’s literally impossible to predict. Maybe if he bans users from tweeting more than once a day it will get better?
This is great. This is how it always should have been.
Organization of any kind needs a Twitter page or subreddit? No, they need their own official, self-controlled Mastodon instance anyone can see and listen to and interact with, even without accounts on that specific instance. They need their own kbin or Lemmy instance to make and administer their community on and have control over, everyone can still participate even without signing up for accounts on that specific instance.
Holy shit.

These are all immediately going into my browser. Rad.
Side note, I did not know about CyberChef, but it is now also on my radar. Very rad.
this is a wake-up call to this industry and any other industry enjoying a glut of “free” (as in beer) proprietary tools owned entirely by private (or worse: public!) organizations.
this will always be the result. every single time. if you think you and your industry are immune to getting bait & switched, you are very wrong.
chaining your livelihood to a for-profit organization is begging to eventually be extorted in this manner. greed is inevitable.
