Honestly the most obvious explanation is that the training set has a lot of them, not some sort of watermarking conspiracy. Occam's razor at its best.

Why wouldn't something like this work? 1. Get students to work on a more complex than usual project (in relation to their previous peers). Let them use whatever they want and let them know that AI is fine. 2. Make them come in for a ph

Nono, this is a pro-scammer point of view. They absolutely go for a minimal upkeep, maximum dark patterns strategy. It's not about sustainable business, they are literally enshittifiers. I know quite a few employees, they literally deb

Really? That sounds dumb and unethical. Is the standard treatment for a cut a bandage or leaving you to bleed?

Alright, if anyone is still using AOL: get the hell out of it. Bending Spoons is probably one of the companies I loathe the most from what I know from outside and even more from insider's knowledge. Anything they touch turns into dark

Dark-patterns all the way. They have tiny internal teams split per product with the sole purpose of hiding the "not now" button as much as possible to increase trials and purchases. Absolutely cancer of a company, run away if you

Do you personally know that or just from feelings? Because I know of several organisations doing this and are organising projects state-wide (they focused in Bihar and surroundings).

But the makers of CS don't go around telling their game is targeted at kids. And that's another topic, plus this is part of the gameplay, not just some cosmetic stuff.

Show them X free levels and with free hints. When they get into the groove, at X+1 level show them "Did you like this? You can get 200+ levels if you convince your parents that this is a worthwhile investment for your learning." (

Cool idea and execution but having in-app purchases to buy hints for a game targeted to kids is a big no. I get the market forces and such but I don't want to have an app subtly teach my non-existent kids to reach out to in-app purchas

With that mindset literally anything is unfun. Do you enjoy anything in particular that does not produce value? If so, you're also very likely losing something, stuck somewhere, etc.

Chemtrails definitely not a hoax. Perhaps the effects on anything breathing their remains are unknown, and probably not for widespread mind control but governments do not shy away from mentioning in their reports the use of chemtrails for w

I wasn't specifically speaking of EA but I guess many people don't necessarily know it for the bad stuff they pull off but rather for Fifa and such? Even though I would never touch them with a 2m stick, I still fondly remember the

You really cannot understand why someone would want to be part of a team creating something they love (or used to love) as kids + all the joys of programming times 100? I personally don't understand people who work for blockchain, or a

Yep and yet the scientific community doesn't just follow "common sense", it tends to base off its findings on evidence. Now this topic is not just "obvious" it's also factual.
