When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

Professor's pro-tip for anyone with college-age kids: Tell your kids go to class. It's really that simple. If you show up, you'll do okay. You don't have to be smart, you just have to be there. Maybe stay off your phones for 50 minutes. Just listen. You'll absorb something. I have data to prove it.

i think that really the main reason AI is so attractive to all the richest stupid people in the world is that they see it as a way to add a subscription fee to interacting with the world in general. why bother getting people to sign up for 8000 services if you can just charge rent on being alive
