Exactly. The data harvest has had years in the making.

It’s got that onomatopoeic quality; I think “yeet” stays.
Yup. One of the teachers (Director Clavel) masquerades as a pupil and asks your character for help understanding what the word means.
I didn’t know.
I had to look it up.
I’ve only come across this word once before; Pokémon Scarlet/Violet of all places.
Enshittification intensifies.
For those who like me are wondering why folk are sucking sand out of the sea in the first place - the TL;DR bot missed this bit:
"Sand and gravel makes up half of all the materials mined in the world. Globally, 50bn tonnes of sand and gravel are used every year – the equivalent of a wall 27 metres high and 27 metres wide stretching round the equator. It is the key ingredient of concrete and asphalt.
“Our entire society is built on sand, the floor of your building is probably concrete, the glass on the windows, the asphalt on roads is made of sand,” said Peduzzi. “We can’t stop doing it because we need lots of concrete for the green transition, for wind turbines and other things.”"
Segal’s law. That can also go into the horror movie script.
Is that all it is? How reassuring; my imagination conjured up whole towns waking up to find overnight “rogue” taxidermy had been performed on their pets; tagline “you’ve been stuffed”.
Why don’t we take a look at how the plastics industry handled the public? Here’s Climate Town (YouTube link).
Can you recall which country they were based in?
For me there isn’t one; I tend not to ask people to do things that I wouldn’t do and as a team leader I’m aware that those around me are learning through observing me - I don’t want them to learn bad habits so actually their presence keeps me in check.
Playing devil’s advocate is done in the open; OP is describing something more covert.
Hmmm.
Sega is a subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings. Sammy is a major developer of pachinko machines.
I wonder where this is going?
Problem is they even with paying the third party app gets an inferior experience (no polls, nothing marked NSFW).
The last and only printer that I bought from HP worked well and didn’t pull any shenanigans, it was a Laserjet 5L.
Since then, feedback from colleagues and what I’ve seen from reviews and tech communities put me off buying HP again. Between their cloud printing, their inkjet cartridge verification and the USB ports covered in stickers and now this…
There is some variation across disciplines; I do think that in general the process does catch a lot of frank rubbish (and discourages submission of obvious rubbish), but from time to time I do come across inherently flawed work in so-called “high impact factor” and allegedly “prestigious” journals.
In the end, even after peer review, you need to have a good understanding of the field and to have developed and applied your critical appraisal skills.
Yes. A senior colleague sometimes tongue-in-cheek referred to it as Pee Review.
I thought Captcha tests were being used to train image recognition systems no?
The pure ChatGPT output would probably be garbage. The dataset will be full of all manner of sources (together with their inherent biases) together with spin, untruths and outright parody and it’s not apparent that there is any kind of curation or quality assurance on the dataset (please correct me if I’m wrong).
I don’t think it’s a good tool for extracting factual information from. It does seem to be good at synthesising prose and helping with writing ideas.
I am quite interested in things like this where the output from a “knowledge engine” is paired with something like ChatGPT - but it would be for eg writing a science paper rather than news.
