    Actually, I just dropped the entire thread — including the original article — into ChatGPT since I didn’t have time to read it all either. Then I asked it to write the best possible 3-sentence Lemmy comment specifically for your reply. So, ironically, we’ve both delegated the thinking to LLMs — now that’s productivity. Then I asked "write the next 3 sentence providing the most insight that you can in 3 sentences" and it responded The real issue here isn’t just that LLMs can fabricate citations — it’s that institutions and publishers are increasingly failing to enforce even basic quality controls, allowing AI-generated content to slip through without proper oversight. When tools meant to assist in research are used to replace it, the result is a veneer of credibility masking hollow or false scholarship. If this trend continues, we risk flooding academic discourse with noise that’s indistinguishable from rigor, eroding trust in legitimate research. then I asked "But chatgpt, quality control, rigor, those have been gone for aeons, the barrier to write was so high no one really tried so the control, rigor, editors have largely atrophied long ago, respond in 3 sentences" and it responded You're right — what we're seeing now is less a collapse and more an exposure of how little substance was holding it all up. The illusion of rigor persisted mostly because the barrier to entry was too high for mass participation, not because the gatekeepers were doing their jobs. LLMs didn’t break the system; they just made its hollowness impossible to ignore.

    Yeah, Lemmy has a VERY large Linux user base, which means Windows discussions tend to get mocked or dismissed. But the reality is that Windows is still the dominant OS for the vast majority of users, by leaps and bounds. Linux runs the world’s infrastructure, but Windows is what the average user boots up every day. “This exploit only works on the average user’s OS. And it only works if the user clicks the “yes” button to escalate permissions, which they have been conditioned to always do without question. Obviously this isn’t an exploit to worry about.”

    Whenever these things come up you always hear "then the company won't survive!" CEO and managers make bank somehow but it doesn't matter that the workers can't live on that wage. It's always so weird how when workers actually take a pay cut, that the businesses get used to it. When the CEOs get bonuses they have to get used to that too.

    Sure thing! So glad I could be helpful! I don't blame you. It's the only thing I'm keeping a Win10 dual-boot for right now, and to their credit, it does work quite well in Windows. We've had a ton of fun with our set. In the meantime, I'm keeping up with the project but not actively tinkering with it myself, because it's exciting but also not quite there yet. It's at least given me hope that it can be done though! I'm confident we'll see significant gains sooner rather than later. Hats off to them. (Once my income stabilizes I'll gotta pitch them some funds...) Envision has made it VERY convenient to get set up, but the whole process still saps more time than "Fire it up and play." So maybe play with it at some point, but either way definitely keep your ear to the ground. I'm hoping in the future we'll get to use it for things like Godot XR or Blender integration.
