<p>Because of weightings around other things you aren't going to get a 1:1 50% of input code used node so it uses node 50% of the time.  There's enough randomness and other stolen content to (in theory) bias it towards weird outputs/choices</p>

<p>You're treating Mastodon as the protocol here, and sure it's a combined frontend/backend, and it <i>is</i> the most used one, but its just one implementation of the AP protocol.  You can plug your favourite AP app/frontend into any Mastodon instance.</p>

<p>> some people are shockingly incurious and approach academia and life through a depressingly hollow transactional lens from the beginning<p>I feel like that's a result of prior bad experience.  Noone goes into university, or even primary school a blank slate.<p>It's very easy to fall into a trap where education is transactional if that's what was modelled to you or that's how previous teachers treated you</p>

<p>I think they're saying that frontier LLMs may be usable to spot citations that are correct by shape (a real citation) but incorrect by usage (unrelated to the text)<p>I kind of hate the idea, but you probably <i>could</i> do a lazy LLM check of every paper and every citation and have it flag possible wrong (second sense) citations for human review<p>But you'd need a LOT of tokens and a LOT of human-hours</p>
