@cdarwin@c.imHawaii is coming to grips with the extensive damage left by the worst flooding the islands have seen in more than 20 years.
Over the weekend, heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week ago,
forcing thousands on the North Shore of Oahu to evacuate before more evacuations for parts of the island of Maui.
The rains lifted houses and cars, inundated farms, swept through grocery stores and left a thick layer of mud in streets, homes and ga…

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioThe reasons we consider plagiarism to be cheating in school and malpractice in professional contexts are many of the same reasons that LLMs are not going to replace all knowledge-based human labor. (Details left as an exercise for the reader.)
And yes, a whole lot of what LLMs do •would• count as plagiarism if one of my students did it manually, and •should• count as plagiarism just the same if they use a machine to do it — not just in a “that’s cheating!!” sense, but more importantly in a “that’s not really doing the work” sense.
