That Russian song that sounds like Joy Division on MDMA. I'm told the lyrics are very depressing but it's absolute fucking fire.

WhatsApp links you to a social circle and Meta has all of the information of said social circle.

I don't need to know you like soccer if I know 10 people who have a soccer team and you're on all of their contact lists.

In a relationship, sure. In a marriage? Can't help to fault them for not finding out.

Can't wait for the "The end of Windows 11 is approaching..." article in a few years. Keep me posted.

Baby duck syndrome.

I know what an LLM is doing. You don't know what your brain is doing.

I don't see how it's my fault that you don't have communication skills.

You really shouldn't be spending your days in a room at 45 °C.

Get a slightly bigger heatsink.

Yeah... no. Old laptops idle at around 50 °C.

Oh, I understand what you're saying. It just doesn't make any sense.

Not gonna lie, I was here to call you an asshole for not even hearing out the request, then I read it was a random dude on the street. Nah, refusing to engage with strangers on the street in any capacity is not rude and, depending on where you live, it may be a smart thing to do.

Oh wow. Can't be safe to be riding around in such a high horse.

Thimbleweed Park. I had been putting it off for literal years and breaking my arm gave me the perfect excuse.

It literally already has. I don't know why you expected it to look like terminator.

Everyone also needs to speak in public at some point and some don't feel comfortable writing either. You're entirely missing the point. I didn't say "stop asking them to write", I said "stop trying to catch them using AI and be a better teacher".

Then the option should be there. Just go to the "Library" tab and tap on the 3 dots. Then you can go to the queue and save it as a playlist. Alternatively, you can just clear the queue and then play the first song.

Somebody already mentioned it but I recommend Seal

That's exactly what I said not to do. Stop focusing on ways to "weed them out" and start improving your teaching. Assigning reading material and then discussing it in class is a much better way to gauge your students voice that any essay they could write by hand on however long the class lasts. It's also a better use of your time; I can image few things worse than reading 50 essays written by undergrads.

I'm just gonna repost my comment to the original post on the 404media community:

Here's a funny story: I once got a D on an essay for my History of Physics class because it was so good that the TA was certain I had plagiarized it. The only reason I didn't end up in front of the ethics board was because she couldn't find any evidence of me doing so... because I hadn't. How many students are in the same situation due to overzealous teachers who have a bone to pick with AI?

Notice how most of the proposed "solutions" focus on bans, and ways to catch and punish students with almost none on improving archaic teaching techniques. Oral presentations, debates, real-world projects, essays on local subjects, using class to discuss subjects students previously studied instead of pontificating for 2 hours, doing away with homework, actually engaging students so they don't feel like cheating... there's loads of ways to teach without AI being a hindrance but it requires teachers to actually adapt instead of being stubborn, lazy twats with an inferiority complex.
