Every ai booster believes that college is about doing homework. They think there’s a homework goblin that pays the colleges for their homework. Their dream is that they can have a machine that you can pay $75,000 to and receive a college degree from in four years.

This! We will soon have a generation of engineers and doctors who never read anything beyond an AI summary, and never wrote an original thought. We are cooked.
It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

You might remember the B.C. white nationalist conference I covered a few months back, Exiles of the Golden Age.
Well, @antihate.ca just identified 18 attendees -- and CBC got two more.
Naturally, these dudes have been crashing out.
