I agree. Not many cats even use collars. I thought they were the relic of some optimistic veterinary practices lol

This confused me as well.
What they are saying is that all cats get the ear clip to show they’ve been vaccinated, if the cat is not going to a forever home and is just being released back into the streets/wild.
Shelters have more intimate knowledge of whether or not the cat is going to be released, so they don’t bother with the tags. Vet clinics don’t usually handle releasing or holding cats and give a rabies tag to cats that they vaccinate because they deal more with owners and pets who could have a reason to put such a tag on a collar.

Technology@lemmy.world•Universities drop AI detection tools over fears about accuracy: Some institutions are overhauling assessment and trying to move away from the emphasis on surveillanceEnglish
121·3 months agoI thought that they were trying to get at the hypocrisy of using ai tools to detect ai writing, which has a dismal success rate and ends up with a crazy amount of false positives.
I see that the growth of computer/digital testing directly led to student abuse of ai. Once students were no longer called on to write a blue book or even just generate responses to short answer questions, we failed our students. I understand that term papers and larger writing assignments have their place, but there really is nothing like being able to sit down and show your knowledge in an on the spot essay (at least for a lot of humanities courses where I see ai being abused).
A systemic issue in this space comes from universities and licensing entities giving testing companies carte blanche to race to the bottom in terms of effective testing tools. For licensing, apprenticeship/mentorship and observation are always better indicators of on the job performance, but that doesn’t have the ease and profit margins of big bullshit testing, so companies would never go for it unless states mandated such pathways. With regard to a lot of current digital university testing, a lot of that was Frankensteined from existing licensing exam tools/strategies and similarly does not effectively assess student/candidate aptitude.
Even if this was not the intent of the commentor, my argument is that carelessness and disingenuous/gatekeeping testing practices from universities and licensing institutions certainly bred a significant level of disengagement in students which leads to them phoning it in with ai slop. If we wanted rigorous work from our students, we should have kept the same standards for ourselves, collectively.

Technology@lemmy.world•Companies Are Throttling Employees’ AI Use Because It’s Too ExpensiveEnglish
22·4 months agoWe can only hope this helps kill the fad. I know companies won’t be taking any realistic lesson from this, but at least this can force them to abandon a lot of this crap.
That’s basically where I was going with the joke, anyway. I’m hoping this could be the change they need to reassess their life and join the human race.
And conservative men.
This is a baby. I love this baby!
