It's not so hard as you make it seem.
If you have experience and are not from India or a third world country, raise your price to at least $50/h, and then just submit human-sounding proposals.
Remember that most of the proposals clients get are bot-submitted ones, by people who don't have the least experience or capability to deliver what they're promising, and it shows. The competition is very weak, is what I'm getting at.
You have to pay to submit proposals, that's true - but a single job you score there will make it worthwhile. It's an investment like any other, and it ends up being much cheaper than adwords or alternatives for finding work.
I'm a western expat in a developing nation, which probably doesn't help, but if I could see some, any kind of, results from proposals I make with free credits, I might accept the argument.
As it is, they are rarely even read, so it doesn't matter how human they are.
I get no actual work out of it, and I'm quite disinclined to pay to make proposals, when I would also have to pay a percent of any actual work I might 'win'.
I believe that my bathroom and everything in it is full of germs; I also believe that my body has been perfectly able to deal with those germs for the last 40 years, as I don't really get sick besides the yearly-or-so cold or flu.
Taking my toothbrush out of the bathroom for the fist time at this point in my life because of "the germs" would be paranoid behaviour, in my opinion. It's not that there aren't germs, it's that they've always been there and I'm still here and healthy.
I don't really understand what you are getting at. Why is it relevant that you don't feel concerned about spaces contaminated by the germs you personally brought? Of course you don't.
I also don't understand what your toothbrush has to do with this. Please try considering this from the perspective of establishing practice for a bathroom shared by more than one individual: its probably important to know if closing the lid is an effective hygiene technique or not.
Fediverse is the name of a decentralized protocol in which different servers federate with one another, a bit like email. Mastodon is decentralized Twitter, Lemmy is decentralized Reddit, and there are a lot of others.
Sorry, should've been more clear. My question wasn't about what the name meant, it was about them using the word fediverse but the site only shows American news, when the fediverse (being a global decentralised network, and used quite a lot in the non USA part of the world) has more than American news.
It's basically the same risk as learning about the roman empire from random youtubers. When I'm washing dishes and just looking for some edutainment, I'm not too worried about being misled on some random fact about an ancient civilization.
Bad/unoptimized VR makes people feel nauseous. I've never heard of anyone getting nauseous from a polished and performant VR experience like Moss or Beat Saber.
In beat saber you stand in one spot and objects come towards you in a narrow field of vision.
In a lot of VR games you move your character around while you do not and that is what causes a lot of nausea. If games have to be like beat saber for VR/AR to be successful that’s damning.
I've been thinking of the same thing, and I think the ideal thing would be to use the psychedelics as a sacrament in the context of a weekend-long initiation ritual. Participants would travel into a remote forested location and go through activities and rituals that would give meaning to the psychedelic experience, as well as rituals and activities with the objective of integrating the psychedelic experience into their day-to-day lives.
I have written out a bit of the experience, I can share it with you if you'd like. We're still in the planning phase.
I've had "friends" in the OTO and that is something I'd like to avoid, but yes, please! My contact info is in my profile -- please ping me, as I'd love to get involved.
An AI could generate relevant questions, follow-up questions during the oral, and evaluate the student at the end. The teacher could then review the whole conversarion at a glance and check/adjust the AI evaluation, which shouldn't take more time than grading an exam and be equally scalable.
I've actually tested this with a VR app (with support for mobile also), and it actually works quite well.
So as a student, I'm forced to converse with an ai and take it seriously, when in reality I reject them all? The whole original post is an example of this being terrible and not a solution for anything.
It's bad enough that these things don't do a good job, don't basically function for the task, but what's as bad or worse is being forced to pretend you buy into it all like having to pretend to believe in some religion just to not get killed by everyone else.
I'm not a student and so far I have been free to judge all these ais as bad on a variety of fronts, and not use them (directly anyway, of course they are used behind the scenes in ways that affect me which I can't control). This would be hell.
> An AI could generate relevant questions, follow-up questions during the oral, and evaluate the student at the end.
I dunno about that level of automation. Maybe the proctors can use it to generate a big bag of questions beforehand, that they manually review, but generating them on the fly is just asking for trouble.
Administering the preset questions and responding to the student is a much better fit.
