My gawds, some people need to learn what’s a homage and also stop being upset on behalf of others. This comic is fine, stop bellyaching. This is what terminal permission culture does to a motherfucker.
The only person who should care about anything other than the quality is Randall. However since he licensed it CC BY-NC 2.5 how he feels about it doesn’t really matter either.
I think people should be concerned about things on others’ behalfs. We all need to stick together.
This situation is a send-up though. Totally not a concern.
Oh definitely! I just meant in this particular case.
We can probably infer by the licensing that he’s cool with it.
What is terminal permission if I may ask?
Permission culture is a term primarily criticizing copyright law. Something that I would expect db0 to agree with! 🏴☠️
if someone is actually using ai to grade papers I’m gonna LITERALLY drink water
I have a colleague who is trying hard to do it, but it isn’t good enough yet fortunately. I point out as many issues as I can to deter him but it ain’t working.
I’m gonna literally drink water if they DON’T
I’m drinking water as we speak and none of you can stop me!
I’m going to drink my water before you get to it!
breaks through window, wrestles cup out of your hands, stands over you, bleeding
drinks the blood.
NOW I HAVE YOUR WATER!!
weeps
immediately a Fremen begins to extoll about my water giving virtues
I am extremely horrified by the prospect of GenAI grading.
LLM system input is unsanitizable, according to NVidia:
The control-data plane confusion inherent in current LLMs means that prompt injection attacks are common, cannot be effectively mitigated, and enable malicious users to take control of the LLM and force it to produce arbitrary malicious outputs with a very high likelihood of success.

Reminds me of: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/
A guy thought it would be funny to change his license plate to NULL.
A new ripoff of an old classic
Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?
if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff
didn’t get permission from the original author
Tell me you don’t know xkcd without saying you don’t know xkcd. These comics are licensed as CC-BY-NC 2.5, which means you are allowed to remix and use them, without explicitly asking for permission, as long as you attribute the original/author (which is given here) and as long as you do it non-commercially (which is given for this post IMHO).
It’s a parody
It’s not a parody. It’s a homage
Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.
Lower right corner.
I honestly didn’t notice that - it was a bit small and pixelated, good catch
More like “And I hope you learned not to trust the wellbeing and education of the children entrusted to you to a program that’s not capable of doing either.”
Well that would require too much work invested into stealing of https://xkcd.com/327/
