Graduated a year ago, just before this AI craze was a thing.
I feel there's a social shift when it comes to education these days. It's mostly: "do 500 - 1,000 word essay to get 1.5% of your grade". The education doesn't matter anymore, the grades do; if you pick something up along the way, great! But it isn't that much of a priority.
I think it partially comes from colleges squeezing students of their funds, and indifferent professors who just assign busywork for the sake of it. There are a lot of uncaring professors that just throw tons of work at students, turning them back to the textbook whenever they ask questions.
However, I don't doubt a good chunk of students use AI on their work to just get it out of the way. That really sucks and I feel bad for the professors that actually care and put effort into their classes. But, I also feel the majority does it in response to the monotonous grind that a lot of other professors give them.
Vogtle was a massive shitshow of corruption and delays, never thought it would actually be finished. Ironically, the price of electricity is set to go up, so that promise of lower bills has gone out the window.
I feel like a garbage collector sorting recyclables because some idiot put glass in the plastic bin again every time I try to look up a solution to a problem.
It's either:
A. 1,000 word essay on how someone's grandma died and loved making muffins before teaching you how to make some goddamn muffins.
B. 1 hour video explaining the entire history of muffins before actually showing you how to make muffins with an extremely bad webcam microphone.
I've essentially given up that our planet, or the human race is gonna survive another few generations. It literally all feels so empty and I have no desire to have kids who will ultimately have to live through the boiling temperatures. Either population collapse, or the planet dying off will result in society falling apart.
At first shorts were pretty neat, now they're the same shovel-ware from TikTok. I literally see copy/paste TikToks with the stupid follow animation every few videos, or subway surfer videos that progressively takeover the bottom of the screen with every short. Actual cancer now.
I saw and read through that article. Brave added a summary feature so people can skip past the long-winded articles and get to the actual content, author got upset that they were skipping over his articles to get to that content.
If you need a Chrome-like or Chromium based browser you can always try the various other versions of Chrome out there. Just about every browser that isn't FF is based on Chromium now.
Did nobody read the article? The author is crying that Brave implemented a summary feature so users don't have to read through entire paragraphs to get to the actual content. Of course, he goes on and on about copyright and OpenAI, nothing really about user data.
