@drikanis @ludicity It's notable that, if these useless meat sacks are in the US, someone likely either borrowed $250K or spent their own money for them to cheat their way to a degree using AI. Some days, I'm comforted by the fact that I'm old.

@Patrickoldhiker @drikanis @ludicity Amen to that. The fact that I'm so close to retirement is a great source of comfort to me. Yeah, I enjoy my job, and I know I'm good at it. I do not need to use an LLM for anything. But should I get that dreaded conversation tomorrow and a disappointing redundancy package, it would no longer be a cause for concern.

@Patrickoldhiker @drikanis @ludicity It remains a great fear of mine that those of us who went through education before LLMs, do not understand just how badly LLMs will affect education of young people. I worry we will get an entire lost generation of people who will lack even the most fundamental skills in reading, writing and math. And no, sending and receiving a thousand SMS and WhatsApp messages a day, will not compensate.
