Yes, but the specific type of irony that this situation fits the definition of does not come from whether or not the tool they used worked for the intended purpose. The irony comes from the fact that they are relying on the output from LLM-generated content (ISBN checksum calculator) to determine the reliability of other LLM-generated content (hallucinated ISBN numbers).

Irony is a word that has a somewhat vague meaning and is often interpreted differently. If the tool they used did not work as intended and flagged a bunch of real ISBNs as being AI generated, the situation would (I think) be more ironic. They are still using AI to try and police AI, but with the additional layer of the outcome being the opposite of their intention.

Water is wet. When it gets on things, it makes them wet until the water is gone. When the water is gone, the wetness is gone. The water was the wetness.

I am a millennial and grew up in the time of the family computer being the one computer in the house. My father had an IBM Thinkpad with windows 98 on it, which he replaced some time around 2001/2 (it was a beast of a laptop for its time, but was from before track pads were a thing, so it had the red nub as the built-in mouse). When he replaced it, he let me have the old Thinkpad.

When he was showing me all the cool game demos he collected from mail-in floppys, one of them was for Duke Nukem 3D. It had the entire LA Meltdown part of the game on it. I remember him going into the adult theater, turning to me, and saying, “check this out”. He pressed the space bar, Duke whipped out a few dollars, and said, “shake it baby”. I didn’t understand why a few dollars and a one-liner from an overgrown Bart Simpson would cause a woman to bounce her boobs around, but I think I showed every friend I had those pixelated nipple tassels.

It may have been the first sexualized breasts I had seen in my entire life.

I have been joking with my roommate lately that we’re probably only a decade or so out from landlords putting coin-op toilets in apartments. What a capitalist dystopia it’ll be.

Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7’s immediately. I don’t think I’ll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.

I think the person you are replying to may have been trying to point out the irony of the Americans who voted for Trump because they don’t want the state spending money on its poor citizens, when they turn a blind eye to the state investing heavily in private industry.

The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard “MAGA” merch is seeing “TRUMP 2028” merch. It’s disturbing how many of those I’ve seen around since the last US election.

There’s an n-word that Republicans tend to use more than other people. However, it is in terrible taste to use it.

A “high IQ individual” is the term Trump used. Of course, it doesn’t take much more than the intellect of a 4 year old to impress him.

I remember hearing apple cores were poisonous when I was in elementary school, and that was before reddit existed. But yes, it is bullshit that they are poisonous.

America

It’s nice to have validation that I am not alone in my childlike weirdness sometimes. You are my kind of people.

Success

If Republicans remove term limits, it would be amazing to see Obama instantly get reelected for a third term in 2028.

That being said, the USA may not get another legitimate election (help us).

If it did happen, I wonder if the democrats would run Obama again.

It for sure is The Sun, but if you look closely at the logo, you will see it actually says “The U.S. Sun”. So it’s an American offshoot of the British newspaper and the domain OP was accessing is likely hosted in the U.S.
