practisevoodoo@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AIEnglish43·12 days agoI’m saying this a someone that has worked for multiple institutions, raised hundreds of conduct cases and has more on the horizon.
The article says proven cases. Which means that the academic conduct case was not just raised but upheld. AI detection may have been used (there is a distinct lack of concencus between institutions on that) but would not be the only piece of evidence. Much like the use of Turnitin for plagiarism detection, it is an indication for further investigation but a case would not be raised based solely on a high tii score.
There are variations in process between institutions and they are changing their processes year on year in direct response to AI cheating. But being upheld would mean that there was direct evidence (prompt left in text), they admitted it in (I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to, yes but I only, etc) and/or there was a viva and based on discussion with the student it was clear that they did not know the material.
It is worth mentioning that in a viva it is normally abundantly clear if a given student did/didn’t write the material. When it is not clear, then (based on the institutions I have experience with) universities are very cautious and will give the students the benefit of the doubt (hence tip of iceberg).

I also understand why no-one watched it in 2021. I certainly was not in the right mental space then.

Kevlar reinforced, better mobility and riot gear isn’t designed for the types of hazards that zombies pose anyway i.e. thrown objects and weapons.
practisevoodoo@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?1·5 months agoOk, maybe I’m exaggerating on the “every episode” but you’re still going to need at least three actors to play the main character, plus intermediate appearances as they transform which lasts an episode or more. It’s definitely a significant additional problem that you just don’t have to deal with if you start with one of the other books.
The other challenge if you are thinking about doing multiple books and you start with Phlebas is that the Culture are the baddies. You spend a (most) of a series presenting them as such and then flip.

Although I would absolutely want more farscape.
practisevoodoo@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?1·5 months agoTV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.

But the earliest of those are scans-of-sketches-of-photos because they pre-date the technology to easily duplicate photographs.

When you say it doesn’t work in Firefox, does it not work in Firefox or does it say it doesn’t work in Firefox? In the later case and sometimes in both, I have found that just changing the user agent string to something chrome based is sufficient to get it working again.
