This comment perplexes me. A direct link to the image? Why not either embed that link so the image appears here on Lemmy without clicking a link, or link to the comic page which has both the comic and the title text?

Then there’s also the download then upload into the comment approach:

Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

Yes…that would be why you would link directly to the comic…?

I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Unfortunately that won’t always show up in the same way title text does.

What are you talking about it was a crazy cool webcomic. Such a cool moment as everyone was scratching their head trying to figure out Randall’s genius.
Congratulations, you’re one of today’s lucky “feels like I’m 10,000.”

I hope you’re happy, because you get all As. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with, William.
No, it’s a straight up rip off. Parodies add something new, give you insight into the original. This is the same joke with the names changed.
It also clearly cites it at the bottom. Its not like this is plagiarism. Its clearly making the point that this is the new, awful truth of the world before us, and maybe we need a few avengers, like little Billy Ignore Instructions and his vindictive mom.

I guess its a matter of opinion. To me it’s parody. In fact, I find this joke more fun BECAUSE I know the original.
Rip off were the words I originally wrote, but I didn’t feel like being that mean about it. I don’t fault your reasoning though.

You’d think you could have doubled down on the joke and revealed that the person on the other end of the phone wasn’t actually a person at all, it was an AI.

Could have had the parent in the comic been the dad and start the comic off "Hi Bob, this your son’s school… " implying that the dad is the original Bobby Tables

Just think little Billy ignore instructions could be little Bobby tables kid.
Its not a rip off you smurf. Its an adapted version to adjust for our new reality where idiots in positions of power mandate the usage of LLMs for completely unfit purposes.

This isn’t that. They changed the art. At least they give credit to XKCD. I still don’t have to like it though.

So are they loading every exam in its entirety into the same context window and doing the whole thing with a single prompt? Or letting the LLM take arbitrary actions instead of only returning a value? It seems like they would have had to make some pretty bad decisions for this to be possible, beyond maybe just adjusting the one grade. I wonder what the prompt jailbreak equivalents of sql injection would actually look like

I simply see it as history repeating itself with prompt hijacking becoming the new code injecting. In that case the fact nothing was changed is poetic. We’re back full circle.
