Then your problem is capitalism. Follow the money, Bob.

Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task

This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition.

I've found that the randomization used to keep an LLM from repeating the same answer results in my using the same prompt several times and then cherry-picking the mostly-satisfactory response. One can get one stuck in a cognitive rut to some extent. It is also true that some responses are rather surprising and provoke laughter and some additional thinking about the general topic. This has an impact that is probably similar to what is experienced with addictive gambling.

Two kitties curled up on a chair. The grey tabby on the right is facing the camera with his eyes happily shut. His velvet-black sister is butting her head up under his creamy-white chin, snuggling closer. They are both awake, but totally content.

A photo looking down at a small bathroom sink occupied by four large tabby cats. From the angle of the photo three of the cats are also visible reflected in the mirror over the sink, giving a neat double-sided view of their arrangement. Clockwise from top-right: Lydia is sitting looking toward the camera, Vincent is sitting looking away from the camera (but not towards Lydia), Sumie is sitting and licking or possibly biting Vincent's neck, and Primrose is sitting in the sink basin.

"Buffy the COVID Slayer: Sarah Michelle Gellar posts masked selfie on set of reboot"

"I will wear a mask in my shower if that means I don't get this again" said Sarah Michelle Gellar after recovering from COVID-19.

Source: archive.md/iTPlt

@auscovid19

“I realize I’ve been really quiet on here. After two and a half years COVID finally got me. Thankfully I’m vaccinated and boosted,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “But to those out there that say ‘it’s just a cold’ …maybe for some lucky people it is. But for this (relatively) young fit person, who has struggled with asthma and lung issues her entire life, that is not my experience.” “Even with therapeutics and all my protocols it’s been tough. I know I’m on the road to recovery, but it’s certainly not been an easy road. I’ll be back soon (hopefully with super antibodies…even if just for a bit),” Gellar continued. “To quote a friend of mine – ‘I will wear a mask in my shower if that means I don’t get this again.'”

Recently there has been a lot of discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol which has been quite dividing and heated.

Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting (the group that maintains the ActivityPub and related specifications), I proposed releasing a statement that counters the narrative that one of these protocols must win, when both protocols can co-exist and have a lot to learn from each other.

The statement has been co-signed by various members of both Social Web CG, SocialCG, and the AT Protocol community.

“We do not win by tearing each other down, which only emboldens and empowers those who do not want either protocol to succeed.”

“Arguing between us only emboldens those that seek to derail and destroy efforts to build an open social web.”

You can read the full statement here:

This was originally in the swicg/general repository, and you can learn about that here:
