SAME

Indeed

Every academic conference in the US is now fucked-fucked, lol.

We've been saying AI is a tool of facism but I really didn't expect them to make it so clear and obvious to EVERYONE

openAI was never a nonprofit in the sense of not trying to make money

but it's still a nonprofit in the sense of "not turning a profit"

One of my new arguments against AI is that even if it was a good tool, human beings are not in a place to be able to use it without harm. We don't live in ideal world where this benefits mankind. We live in this world where it benefits the rich and fucks the rest of us.

AI boosters: this technology will create a utopia where everyone has the time and resources to do as they please!

AI in reality:

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

"The math is brutal and the juxtaposition stark: millions for OpenAI while pink slips go out to longtime lecturers. The CSU isn’t investing in education—it’s outsourcing it, paying premium prices for a chatbot many students were already using for free."

About three-in-ten teens say they use AI chatbots every day, including 16% who do so several times a day or almost constantly. Daily use of chatbots differs somewhat by race and ethnicity as well as age: Race and ethnicity: About a third of Black (35%) and Hispanic teens (33%) report using AI chatbots daily. A smaller share of White teens (22%) say the same. Age: 31% of teens ages 15 to 17 say they use chatbots on a daily basis, compared with about a quarter of those ages 13 to 14 (24%).

This is hilarious. The Google AI was drawing on material from an Onion article in its answer....

No constitutional right to information is a truly terrifying legal concept.

"The thing is, even if you're just thinking in terms of fiscal value, having gone through a degree program and being able to put it on your resumé/CV isn't the most significant return on your investment: the way you have further developed your mind is."
