"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

We can’t force anybody to want to learn, we can only inspire.

I have had a scant few instructors my entire life able to do this. They did it by displaying their passion and joy that they got from their field. It's why i've studied music, history, genetics, economics, history a second time, filmmaking, literature, i'm trying to remember the rest but i have at least half a dozen uncompleted associates degrees

i'm teaching music right now i guess? got a couple folk who are learning the instrument we play in the band and they are getting sooo good i am so proud. we just moved from level 2 to level 3 music and it is so exciting.
