Tell that to our Dept of Ed.
I thought Trump already axed that?
He's working on it. He has to be careful not to accidently forgive the student loans associated with it.
That would be an amusing fuck up
Unfortunately they're aware of the possibility and aren't willing to risk that.
It's just like him to make the maximum degree of suffering the point of any inane policy decision he makes…
That's why they are planning on using A1 instead!
The legend of Little Bobby Tables lived on through him.
I like to believe that Billy Ignore instructions is Bobby Tables' kid.
This comment perplexes me. A direct link to the image? Why not either embed that link so the image appears here on Lemmy without clicking a link, or link to the comic page which has both the comic and the title text?
Then there's also the download then upload into the comment approach:
Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.
part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.
Yes…that would be why you would link directly to the comic…?
I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Of course, with an embedded direct link, you could put the title text in as alt text:
Unfortunately that won't always show up in the same way title text does.

Wow, almost 18 years old.
Ok, why does it seem like I first read a few months ago... Went it came out.
Have I been reading XKCD for 20 years... FFS
I’m in this reply and I feel old as fuck now
Fuck, just fuck time.
What are you talking about it was a crazy cool webcomic. Such a cool moment as everyone was scratching their head trying to figure out Randall's genius.
Congratulations, you’re one of today’s lucky “feels like I’m 10,000.”

That means Bobby Tables is old enough to be Billy's father.
Y'all remember that sub r/YourJokeButWorse?
4th panel should be:
I hope you're happy, because you get all As. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with, William.
It's like ai write wrote this comic
It's a parody on an xkcd comic.
No, it's a straight up rip off. Parodies add something new, give you insight into the original. This is the same joke with the names changed.
I see it as an homage to the original.
It also clearly cites it at the bottom. Its not like this is plagiarism. Its clearly making the point that this is the new, awful truth of the world before us, and maybe we need a few avengers, like little Billy Ignore Instructions and his vindictive mom.
I guess its a matter of opinion. To me it's parody. In fact, I find this joke more fun BECAUSE I know the original.
I don't know Randall, but I expect he would enjoy this.
Rip off were the words I originally wrote, but I didn't feel like being that mean about it. I don't fault your reasoning though.
Sure
I still laughed. And I'll share.
Yeah, it's like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.
Boo, just a straight rip off of the XKCD comic.
Yes, that is what it says on the bottom of the comic. Duh.
Its not a rip off you smurf. Its an adapted version to adjust for our new reality where idiots in positions of power mandate the usage of LLMs for completely unfit purposes.
So yah, a rip off.
Do you consider using a meme format a rip off?
This isn't that. They changed the art. At least they give credit to XKCD. I still don't have to like it though.
Just think little Billy ignore instructions could be little Bobby tables kid.
You'd think you could have doubled down on the joke and revealed that the person on the other end of the phone wasn't actually a person at all, it was an AI.
Could have had the parent in the comic been the dad and start the comic off "Hi Bob, this your son's school... " implying that the dad is the original Bobby Tables
In capitalist Russia, AI trains you.
Underrated comment.
So are they loading every exam in its entirety into the same context window and doing the whole thing with a single prompt? Or letting the LLM take arbitrary actions instead of only returning a value? It seems like they would have had to make some pretty bad decisions for this to be possible, beyond maybe just adjusting the one grade. I wonder what the prompt jailbreak equivalents of sql injection would actually look like
That phrase "based on" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, here.
I simply see it as history repeating itself with prompt hijacking becoming the new code injecting. In that case the fact nothing was changed is poetic. We're back full circle.
