Trustee that’s complaining about an exhibit about displaced Palestinians is a professor at McGill - Canada’s favourite Zionist university.

The writing style of the whole post description is pretty much what Claude emits. The downvotes are probably people recognizing that this is a bot - not someone’s passion project as it’s being marketed.

Lemmy is full of these. A brand new account announcing a new project and every comment they make (if they respond) is AI slop.

There’s no evidence that any of the code nor any of the interactions the “author” has with anyone involve a human.

Powlesland and his team pulled 200 bags of garbage and organic debris out of a creek

Emphasis mine. I feel like that’s at the crux of the whole issue and the article doesn’t attempt to dig in.

What did they remove? I find it hard to believe that even the pettiest of bureaucrats would take issue with someone picking up actual trash.

I have opinions, but none of them well enough formed to have suggestions on the new rule.

Try it for a while and see if it works! We know this community ain’t shy about sharing when something isn’t working for them!

1 hour old account. First post.

Zero points for saying it wrong, though.

“You miss every shot you take”

“The only thing we do not fear is fear itself”

“Interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake”

Every store I’ve ever been in that uses those merchandise racks has had this vibe.

It’s weird how many new apps show up in this community with long descriptions full of em dashes. Then the author starts replying using the same tone and word choices Claude uses.

I don’t care if an author is using AI in some capacity to write their app, but I draw a line when their posts on social media are also written by AI. There’s no human in it anymore.

The post was written by Claude. That’s its exact writing style I have to unpack every day during my day job.

It’s like someone described how Natalie Portman, Selena Gomez, and Kate Austen from memory and the artist said “let me see what I can do”.

Yeah, I don’t come here to have my sense of childlike wonder replenished!

“I was in Taiwan and had tea on the balcony.”

I can’t tell if it’s just your standard phishing scam email or if it’s a “real” company that’s grifting stupid people.

The path of least resistance is always to delete and move on.

The only spam email I got today was from my usual guy who apparently hacked my computer and turned on my webcam and has videos of me masturbating. I better send him more bitcoin before he sends the videos to someone who cares!

You could say you’re from Cascadia and hope they don’t have any follow up questions.

Israel starts screaming antisemitism in 3… 2… 1…

The one with laugh tracks.

Oh.

Reminds me of the Back to the Future ride they had at Universal Studios.

The elective classes I chose played a huge part in who I became. More so than friendships or cringey moments or anything that happened in the mandatory classes.

I took home ec and made crappy fried rice and sewed an apron with the pattern upside down. I thought it was lame at the time. Today I cook every day and I can sew well enough to fix things. They are ridiculously valuable skills.

I took electronics and made a dumb little siren that pitched up and down when you held down a button. Once every couple of years, I need some simple bit of electronics and I design a circuit board, etch it onto copper, and solder on some components. If I hadn’t chosen that elective classes, I’d think that sort of thing was super advanced.

The hilariously basic “IT” class (I made a PowerPoint slideshow with animation and fart sound effects) is probably responsible for me having a career in software development.
