@lauren Hmm, how convenient to have a way to embed arbitrary plaintext prompts in base64 encoded images: https://eigenmagic.net/@drew/115870625879148796
(with a hat-tip to @drew )
@krono @sigchi Good point, and CRediT (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/leap.1210) even lists "Funding Acquisition" as a potential contribution (somewhat to my surprise, I admit).
OTOH, I also seem to remember that all authors are required to assume joint responsibility for the content of their paper, and I sincerely doubt that person could even name all 37 paper titles they have co-authored...
@JensHannemann Ooh nice, enjoy! Protip: don't pour rum directly from the bottle onto the flame. Friend of mine did that once, ended shooting a little fountain of burning rum over the table 🫣
@krono @sigchi I've seen that as well, but maybe 20 years ago - I was sort of hoping that practice isn't quite as common anymore, but perhaps not 🙄
Apparently, there is one person who co-authored 37 papers for #chi2026 😑 This is rather ridiculous, what sort of contribution per paper can you expect here? Probably time for a cap on how many papers you can be author on. /cc @sigchi

@cstross as long as they still have Fox News... 🙄
@Lapizistik Count me in 💪
@woutern @pluralistic I've said it before: AI is great at letting middle management cosplay as CEOs 🤷
@mattesilver I'm aware. Didn't have the time yet to migrate to Librewolf.
If you're using #Firefox (yes, I still do - despite their recent AI shenanigans, they are still a much better option for privacy than Chrome IMHO), you can use its local translation model to translate any highlighted text - just add a hotkey for the following command:
firefox "about:translations#src=detect&trg=en&text=$(wl-paste --primary | jq -sRr @uri)"
(if you're still on Xorg, replace wl-paste --primary with xclip -o)
@jeridansky Confirmation bias is a bitch. 🤷
@crazyeddie for the record, it seems this was a hoax 😑

@jeridansky ah damn it, I fell for that one too 🙄
@tsmango I'm still firmly on the AI-sceptical side, but I do agree with your very nuanced post. Kudos.
That being said, there are two issues I feel are worth mentioning: I don't think people will develop fundamentals over time if they start out with vibe coding, you need the basics first to understand what the LLM is doing. And from an open-source POV, the entire question of licensing LLM code is still very much unsolved.
@abulling absolut richtig, couldn't have said it better 👌
@alice 11/10 (yes I know the joke has been made already, still had to do it 😅)
@abulling Wait, by "whole country", I meant Venezuela. I have little doubt that most of the US will "support our troops". 😑
What I'm genuinely wondering (once the multihanded facepalming is finished): how exactly does Trump imagine "running Venezuela"? Does he really assume the whole country will just roll over and obey the Grand Orange because he has abducted Maduro?
@futurebird ... particularly since all the "high-level people" are dumb as a doorknob. 😑
