learning isn't "aquiring facts", it's internalizing facts, actually understanding them, practising, making mistakes and learning why they are mistakes.

Yes you can just take a dictionary and a grammar guide to do your English test but does that mean you speak English now?

also, unless you train AI on copyrighted information that is not free use (illegally), AI should only have access to the information already available ln the internet for free.

So exactly what secret knowledge does AI allow students to access?

Universities haven't been gatekeeping the information necessary for a degree. They exist to point you in the right direction, to answer questions, to help you learn.

Wikipedia already existed before AI. So did libraries.
AI hasn't revolutionized the availability of information.

Of course you can just self-study, take the exams and be done with it, but most students either don't want that or learn better with a real human there to help and explain.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

No notes

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Queere Menschen suchen Schutz – und erleben Zwang. Ein Text über Konversionsbehandlungen in Deutschland 🔗 taz.de/!6120543

„Die haben versucht, mich zu ändern. Die haben einfach nicht an mein Geschlecht geglaubt.“
Kari (Name anonymisiert) erlebte Gewalt und gelang bei der Suche nach Schutz an einen christlichen Träger, der der nicht-binären trans Person Gewalt antat

Dass Menschen unter dem Deckmantel von Hilfe oder Beratung queerfeindliche Gewalt angetan wird, ist ein Phänomen, das kaum erfasst ist. Es hat eine lange Geschichte, die bis in die Gegenwart von Unterdrückung und Maskierung handelt, von missbrauchter Wissenschaft, aber auch von Widerstand und Selbstbehauptung

Konversationsbehandlungen sind in Deutschland seit 2020 verboten, wenn sie an Minderjährigen oder gegen den Willen der Betroffenen stattfinden. Sie können Auslöser für Depression und Suizid sein – und sie schüren Diskriminierung

turns out having a little phone stand and a VERY obvious open notes app makes you look much more professional.

If my phone is on a little stand I'm clearly not hiding it.

I've ranted about this before but once again:

I hate that when taking notes in lectures I have to
a) write by hand (exhausting, need to digitize my notes later anyway, slow)
b) write on my laptop (it's big and heavy and it needs access to an outlet)
c) write on my phone (makes me look distracted

Blattgemuese (he/it) @exblattgemuese.bsky.social · 10d

only after finishing high school did I realize how much I ABHOR writing by hand.

It's exhausting, I'm slow, I can never get it looking neat and I will not find that particular note to refresh my memory with ever again.

Some good news: Most people don't trust Trump and RFK Jr.'s claims about autism.
Just four percent of respondents told a KFF poll they believed the claim was definitely true, while 30 percent said it was probably false and 35 percent said it was definitely false

Only 4% of Americans think Trump claims about Tylenol and autism ‘definitely true’

Americans are largely divided on partisan lines on whether they trust the Trump administration’s health claims on autism and vaccines

when someone says "my dice are cursed" you sort of have to agree with them because if you say "marius you are a grown man and I know you know that's not how probability works" they won't say anything but they'll treat you like you are in league with the cursed dice
