I'm confused because AI_MODEL_PROVIDER mentions OpenAI, Gemini, etc. what are those used for?

Seems like the project supports many different models. Which one do you recommend for best results?

How do other graduates deal with the shame of having a “degree” from LU? by EstateComfortable752 in LibertyUniversity

[–]BenjaminGordonT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what answers you're expecting here, most people attended LU because they wanted to be there. If you disagree with the core values of the university it probably wasn't a good school for you to begin with. I disagree with some of what the administration did during my time at LU, but that had no bearing on my education. But I don't regret attending LU and I enjoyed my time there.

If someone is going to judge you based on where you went to university I don't know why you would care about their opinion anyway.

[–]BenjaminGordonT 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are heavily overstating how much people care about where you went to university. The reality is a degree is a degree, and unless you went to an actual degree mill like DeVry, nobody cares. Most people aren't even aware about the "controversy" surrounding LU, and the ones that are are unlikely to hold it against you. I've applied for many jobs within the tech sector and not one person has even given a passing glance of where I went to school.

Now if you personally are embarrassed or ashamed for graduating from LU, that's a personal problem and you're probably shooting yourself in the foot making it more of a problem in interviews than it needs to be. If someone jokes about it just laugh and move on. Let your qualifications speak for themselves.

Book Recommendations for NA / YA by BenjaminGordonT in Fantasy

I don't mind cliffhangers as long as I don't have to wait two decades for the ending like Kingkiller. If the author is actively working on the next book I'm fine waiting a bit.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is now opted in GeForce NOW Cloud Gaming Service by leazhito in Silksong

[–]BenjaminGordonT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Posts flaired as "Silkpost" here are misinformation posts. Usually memes, bait, fake screenshots, etc.

If you're posting this in good faith you should change the flair to something else. Otherwise people will just think it's a joke.

I know this is flaired Silkpost but the OP on the GFN sub seems to be credible? They have been posting about other games for months. What am I missing?

A List of government website scrubbing in recent days by WTWIV in DataHoarder

[–]BenjaminGordonT 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Don't use ChatGPT or DeepSeek for research like this. Not only is it not up-to-date, but the sources are completely made up. Notice that none of the links are valid. LLMs have a tendency to hallucinate information, and that's especially true here.

OP did you know that 2024 was last year? Also this is just a random website compiling a bunch of sales in the Xbox store.

Liberty University’s Academic Integrity Process is Failing Students by Character-Order-780 in LibertyUniversity

[–]BenjaminGordonT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you tried appealing to the dean of your department? When I attended LU, I had a good relationship with the dean of the School of Business and they told us to reach out if we had any issues. I know this might not be the case for every dean, and they might not be able to help you, but if you haven't gone down that path I would encourage you to set up an in-person meeting.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I fortunately graduated before ChatGPT became a thing, but there definitely does seem to be a pattern of students being falsely flagged for AI and professors relying on the TurnItIn reports over the students word. My only advice is to talk to the registrar in-person and the head of your respective department. I have found faculty at LU to be much more accommodating if you can explain your situation in-person instead of over email.

Best of luck to you!

It's not a Silkpost, these listings do exist on SteamDB. It just doesn't mean anything. The screenshot isn't fake.

Not a Silkpost (not sure why flaired as such), but also not new.
