And I hope youhave learned to ~~sanitize your inputs~~ not fucking use generative AI for grading

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 27 points 2 years ago

Tell that to our Dept of Ed.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That's why they are planning on using A1 instead!

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 163 points 2 years ago

The legend of Little Bobby Tables lived on through him.

[-] Adalast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

Then there's also the download then upload into the comment approach:

[-] who@feddit.org 17 points 2 years ago

Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 38 points 2 years ago

part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

Yes…that would be why you would link directly to the comic…?

[-] who@feddit.org 8 points 2 years ago

I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 14 points 2 years ago

Of course, with an embedded direct link, you could put the title text in as alt text:

Her daughter is named Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory.

Unfortunately that won't always show up in the same way title text does.

[-] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Not to mention circumvents the purpose of alt. text letting those unable to see to know what's going on in the image.

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

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.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 years ago

Congratulations, you’re one of today’s lucky “feels like I’m 10,000.”

[-] deltapi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

See, this is homage/parody.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 2 years ago

That means Bobby Tables is old enough to be Billy's father.

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 78 points 2 years ago

Y'all remember that sub r/YourJokeButWorse?

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] derry@midwest.social 51 points 2 years ago

It's like ai write wrote this comic

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 years ago

It's a parody on an xkcd comic.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] notoftenthat@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

I see it as an homage to the original.

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] notarobot@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

I don't know Randall, but I expect he would enjoy this.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

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.

Yeah, it's like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.

[-] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] jonjuan@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Just think little Billy ignore instructions could be little Bobby tables kid.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Boo, just a straight rip off of the XKCD comic.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 years ago

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.

In capitalist Russia, AI trains you.

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.

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] tomenzgg@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

That phrase "based on" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, here.
