I’ve recently seen takes on here that boil down to: "there are ethical ways to become a billionaire in America." And perhaps that could be true theoretically. However, it is patently false given the current configuration of the American political economy, which incentivizes abuse and exploitation.

They showed me what were quite obviously machine generated notes derived from having had an LLM read and process the assigned reading. They denied it
