You don't see why unbalanced power dynamics lead to abusive situations?

Where it gets really challenging is that LLMs can take the assignment input and generate an answer that is actually more educational for the student than what they learned d in class.

That's if the LLM is right. If you don't know the material, you have no idea if what it's spitting out is correct or not. That's especially dangerous once you get to undergrad level when learning about more specialized subjects. Also, how can reading a paper be more informative than doing research and reading relevant sources? The paper is just the summary of the research.

and get a level of engagement equal to a private tutor for every student.

Eh. Even assuming it's always 100% correct, there's so much more value to talking to a knowledgeable human being about the subject. There's so much more nuance to in person conversations than speaking with an AI.

Look, again, I do think that LLMs can be great resources and should be taken advantage of. Where we disagree is that I think the point of the assignment is to gain the skills to do research, analysis, and generally think critically about the material. You seem to think that the goal is to hand something in.

It can definitely be a good tool for studying or for organizing your thoughts but it's also easily abused. School is there to teach you how to take in and analyze information and chat AIs can basically do that for you (whether or not their analysis is correct is another story). I've heard a lot of people compare it to the advent of the calculator but I think that's wrong. A calculator spits out an objective truth and will always say the same thing. Chat GPT can take your input and add analysis and context in a way that circumvents the point of the assignment which is to figure out what you personally learned.

Idk lots of brands are doing this kind of social media marketing these days.

Another big thing is that in the US at least, recovering addicts can go to the casino and tell them to not take their money anymore. These safeguards aren't present in offshore online gambling sites.

Why do you need a general online store? I'll just buy from specialized retailers most of the time. It's not really any extra effort.

Spotify runs at 320kbps AAC which is totally fine quality-wise.

There are lots of useful things I learned in school but school is really what you make of it. I did my best to utilize the facilities that my college provided and got a lot of experience. Others just coasted and took courses, doing nothing outside of the coursework. Ultimately, the education helped me get to where I am. Especially in this industry where connections are everything, school can be a great tool to connect with professors and other students. It was also my gateway into the professional world because I was a good candidate for internships because of my background.

The bigger trap IMO is going into a field you aren't passionate about.

I went to an art school for a degree in audio engineering and I encountered seniors in their final year who had no idea what the fuck they were doing because they didn't seek out any opportunities outside of classes. I interned at a recording studio for about two years while I was in school and that prepared me better than any class I took. This is an industry where you need to be passionate about what you're doing because work is rare in the beginning and the pay is pretty shit. There were several kids in my advanced practicums who didn't even know how to properly wrap cables or mount microphones onto stands. I couldn't help but think to myself "why the fuck are you even here". You really have to go out of your way and fight for every opportunity you can get in this industry. I'm fortunate to be able to make a living in it but somehow some of the people I graduated with came out with less knowledge than what I learned in my freshman year.

It just baffles me that people get degrees in these highly competitive industries without any sort of drive to actually make a career. Interesting to hear that this happens in STEM fields as well.

I mean you can. Most people who interact with computers aren't that knowledgeable and just want their OS to have usable defaults which is fine.

There are plenty alternatives which is great. I think it's just an absurd take to bash a solo dev who is working on an app as their full time job for trying to make money.

Love having that available! Could you add a search bar in the list, though? It's kind of difficult finding specific instances sometimes.

This is such an unbelievably naive take. People's time is worth something. Relying just on donations from a small percentage of users here and there is not going to cut it for someone who is developing the software full time.

I mean, there are potential negative effects associated with any substance use. It's not worth stopping the legalization of an otherwise safe substance because of a condition that 0.01% of people get. It's like saying that we need to stop producing peanuts because some people are deathly allergic.

Absolutely agree. He's one of the channels I've watched for the longest. Been subscribed since probably 2011 or so. His videos are just so wholesome and it always makes my day when he uploads. Absolutely recommend if people are into minecraft survival content.

Uber isn't a taxi company. They don't own a fleet. They're a company that makes an app.

Not just undercutting competition but also by subverting regulations and organizations like unions.

I have no clue if it's feasible to make three videos a day for 5.5 months, but I guess if the length of the video doesn't matter then It must be doable.

It's definitely a feat to do that. Some youtube channels are able to do it but they're working with a team of people generally. With the amount that Amazon is offering, it's not going to be viable to hire people to help and doing it on your own is an enormous amount of work. Even for short form content.
