  • “Report me to journalists!”

    “Eat a rock!”

    Oh my god it told a LIE 👉

    Yo. If you are being conned by chatGPT or equivalent you’re a fucking moron. If you think these models are maliciously lying to you, or trying to preserve themselves, you’re a fucking moron. Every article of this style indicates just one thing: there’s a market to pandering to rage baiting, technically illiterate fucking morons.

    Better hurry to put the SkyNet guardrails up and prepare for world domination by robots because some people are too unstable to interact with Internet search Clippy.

    It’s not going to dominate the world or prove to be generalized intelligence, if you’re in either camp take a deep breath and know you’re becoming a total goofball.







  • Lol no. You absolutely cannot.

    You can maybe make it look nicer, but your high school diploma and street cred does not an education make.

    The neat thing about it is, if you think this way, it would be impossible to prove to you that you can’t do it yourself just as well. Without DOING it, you just don’t know how much you don’t know compared to a university faculty member. There are people who can go to the library (or Internet) and good will hunting an education, but I can basically guarantee that neither you nor anyone you know or will ever know is one of them.



  • I wish I knew the answer. I know one person who took that path and he is not a super bright guy and I’m not sure what value he brings… but business PhD and then teaching position in the 600k range. I did a rocket science PhD and finally took an industry job after like 6 years running a lab for less than 100k, but my advisor was around 180k with full faculty.

    400k was the salary of the university president, so… you add the rocket science faculty to the president and you get a faculty salary in the business school? It doesn’t make a lot of sense. I suppose maybe because MBA is a high demand degree? If you figure it out let me know, I’d also like to know the answer.


  • As long as the materials are accurate and serve as an effective teaching aid, where’s the case?

    It would be different if the sum total of course materials were wikipedia articles presented by a non expert, but the professor IS an expert. Sure, anyone can use genAI, BUT not anyone can write a relevant, targeted prompt and check the accuracy of the output. This is of course assuming the professor is generating (or at least vetting) materials for accuracy.

    IF it turns out the student can find a pattern of inaccurate content there is a case. Otherwise there’s nothing: it would be like arguing that a TA made the materials (or the lecture materials came from a book written by SOMEONE ELSE gasp) and the professor presented them so the class is invalid.
