Human language needs a new pronoun, something whereby an AI may identify itself to its users. When, in conversation, a chatbot says to me “I did this thing”, I - the human - am always bothered by the presumption of its self-anthropomorphizatuon. There is no “I”, there is only an “it” with which I am interacting.

Is @guardian aware that their authors are at this point just using AI to wholesale generate entire articles? I wouldn't really care, except that this writing is genuinely atrocious. LLM writing can be so much better; they're clearly not even using the best models, lol!

@ObjRandom @miniapeur In the UK you can have a pass with or without corrections, and those corrections may be qualified as well, with different kinds of resubmission required. Also, the committee will tell you what they thought, that’s what the viva/defense is for.

@miniapeur PhDs never get graded. Except for revisions, it’s basically pass/fail. Nobody knows what the committee actually thought of it.

I have received many requests asking me to define what a bad, poor, or mediocre PhD is. I think there is nothing more illustrative than examples, so I will share with you 5 theses from recent graduates as examples. (1/n)

I got Disney+ to watch Andor and apparently if you view content in the browser it's limited to... 720p. Even if you pay extra for the 4K option. Can these billion dollar companies just not suck for once?

Conclusion: Extremely excited to build immersive and metavers-y experiences (my take on "Metaverse" is in the 1. essay linked). May sound surprising, yet the issues mentioned -> huge opportunities. There was never a better time to start in VR/XR. The magic of VR is real. 😊

Finally the developer experience. A lot has improved in capabilities but the landscape is fragmented and confusing as ever. Try setting up Unreal with the Meta Quest (or Pico for that matter) on a Mac for example 🤬 👇

"Metaverse is over" From my own experience: I got a 3DS last November, 3 months of Horizon+ included and played tons of VR titles, most of which normally would be around 30 USD. thread 👇
