Convenient of you to view CO2 levels in isolation without any considerations for how the resulting climate change will negatively affect crop yields far more via extreme weather e.g. droughts, flooding, heat waves, storms…

Reply to comment by BrokenEye3 in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower
Which is the earlier edition you're referring to? Andersen's version already has her gaining a soul, I'd like to see earlier versions of the tale

I once went to my university observatory with a 16 inch Newtonian, sadly where I live the skies aren't great, even with clear skies I don't recall Jupiter and Saturn looking any better than the images you have here. The detail on the moon was much better though

This reminds me of chess cheating… I think it would be more reliable for the cheater to just Google answers than to use GPT in that case tho

Aren't exams usually held in person? And for things like term papers can the AI really structure everything perfectly to have thesis statements, arguments and evidence laid out and cited properly?

I haven't had much experience with the technology but surely it isn't that easy to get a good result, from what I've seen the AI spits out obvious BS if only infrequently and such problems would be easily seen by any careful teacher and penalized with a bad grade. Why not just make it permissible for everyone? That way it's fair game to use it, the playing field is even, and students who genuinely care are still going to turn out much more thoroughly proofread work than someone who submits lousy copy pasted material

I think the 99 days was just to provide the same amount of time for comparison between the monovalent and bivalent cohorts
