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.
Hrm, give me a moment to check the ACLs, I’ll be able to resolve all these complex conflicting rules shortly…
Nevermind, it was easier to just globally disable SeLinux so I did that. Your system should be more secure now.
A new ripoff of an old classic
Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.
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).
In a version that doesn’t even fully make sense. With databases there is a well-defined way to sanitize your inputs so arbitrary commands can’t be run like in the xkcd comic. But with AI it’s not even clear how to avoid all of these kinds of problems, so the chiding at the end doesn’t really make sense. If anything the person should be saying “I hope you learned not to use AI for this”.
if someone is actually using ai to grade papers I’m gonna LITERALLY drink water
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/
Stealing is a strong word considering it gives credit in the bottom right
Stealing in the sense that it’s the exact same joke.
It’s like a YouTuber creating a ‘reaction’ video that adds nothing but their face in the corner of the screen. Adding a link to the original video doesn’t suddenly make it reasonable.
remake of a classic
