Would you agree that public/consumer sentiment towards corporate behavior can change that behavior?

So bizarre to see the article refer to outputs as the models referencing "themselves". Computers are not a "them".

How dare you malign Jensen's jacket so.

Do your students know their feedback is AI generated?

A pre-AI example from the military : course reviews and performance assessments were changes to be from a set of about 70 descriptors instead of written custom. Instructors could modify them, but many didn't or did so only trivially. The system was junked in within three years because of the obvious: those giving feedback didn't own it, and those receiving feedback didn't value it.

I wonder if this will mean a resurgence of encyclopedias or other authoritative digital records that are known to be verified.

Cool. I hope this blows up in their face and is reverted in a few months. I don't need my phone book index to suddenly not be an index and force me to use a call center instead.

I wonder how visible it will be when showing final charges for an order.

I'd definitely be more likely to "wait it out" when considering purchases in my cart if I can see what I expect will be a temporary levy.

So, given that Phoenix, Denver, and Vegas already have spacing similar to European nations do they see the benefits that the author is suggesting?

Amusing that the author can't stomach referring to themselves as an agent manager so they retreat back to the term "agent engineering". Please.

That was the joke: it's not easy to quit smoking.

And yet somewhere around that 6th donut it will hit and you will stop.

Professional engineers are required to consider the interests of the public in their work, have an obligation to reject unethical or harmful instructions and are regulated by their professional organization to support competency and address malpractice. Much of this was driven over the past 50-100 years as society determined that they wanted things built by engineers to not kill people or have material deficiencies following construction.

From my understanding, software engineers are a long away out from this still but perhaps we'll get there once the dust settles on more of these sorts of lawsuits.

Not the kindest take (and unlikely true).

Students tend to be fairly lazy, so this may simply mean another x% of the class reads the material rather than scanning in the 60 pages of reading for the assignment.

Which module introduces students to some of the ethical and environmental aspects of using GenAI?
