Many have asked what we should do and it's hard to know. But this approach is not the way out of this.
In response, and as chatbots continue to advance, companies such as Turnitin and GPTZero have upgraded their AI detection software, aiming to catch writing that’s gone through a humanizer. They also launched applications that students can use to track their browser activity or writing history so they can prove they wrote the material, though some humanizers can type out text that a user wants to copy and paste in case a student’s keystrokes are tracked.

Tässä se on: hallitus on pysäyttänyt Suomen talouden n. 4 mrd. euron nettosopeutuksella. Velkajarrusopimus ja EU-säännöt vaativat tulevalle hallituskaudelle 10 mrd. euroa lisäsopeutusta juuri tällä VTV:n laskutavalla. Olemme valmiiksi jo talouskriisissä. Onnea Suomi!

#talous #politiikka
Miten tässä näin kävi? Hallitus päätti 10 miljardin sopeutuksista, VTV:n mukaan todellinen säästö on vain 3,5 miljardia
Hallitus on toistuvasti kehunut tehneensä miljardien säästöt julkiseen talouteen. VTV:n mukaan todellinen säästö on kaukana 10 miljardista.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

Asia, mitä en ymmärrä. Miten Euroopalle voi tulla yllätyksenä, millainen hallinto johtaa Yhdysvaltoja. Kukaan ei ole ennustaja, mutta miksei tunnuta ottavan ilmeisistäkään virhearvioinneista opiksi? Koskee ylipäätänsä poliittista päätöksentekoa. Toivotaan vain kovasti, ettei vääjäämätön tapahtuisi.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”

So, same as Canadians.
