also, by the way

a lot of us process our grief by making art

they're trying to replace that process with AI from both directions

it's not just that I find it chilling to imagine Sam Altman wearing my dead mom's face in order to sell me ads

it's that the way we ACTUALLY keep our lost loved ones alive requires a myriad of human skills these assholes perpetually devalue, like storytelling and deep emotional connection

your AI algorithm (or worse, the underpaid and horribly treated remote worker in India somewhere you are forcing to pretend to be your AI algorithm) doesn't know my dead mom. *I* know my dead mom. *I* know what she'd say to me. learning to give *yourself* that guidance is what wisdom looks like

That would imply he cares enough to hate. He doesn't. He cares only about himself. He doesn't have the capacity to think about the US enough to hate it.

Students who file disingenuous grade appeals and grievances should be penalized for wasting everyone's time and, in this case, for trying to bully an instructor.

Noting you approve of teasing to enforce certain norms and then flipping the fuck out and crying discrimination when you are challenged in perhaps the most kind way possible is so much of their entire ethos in one distilled bit.

I only taught college for one more year after I transitioned, but this shit was my nightmare, and why I left the field. 100 she is trying to get the TA fired. And this is appallingly bad writing for a Junior. Most Freshmen write better than this after their basic COMP sequence.

This genuinely reads like a ten year old wrote it.

And speaking as a trans person who got their PhD at OU...the university is absolutely fucking spineless when it comes to protecting grad students generally and trans ones in particular

Even worse the instructor then. They don't even have actual protections of the job. They're just being sacrificed by the Uni to save the feelings of TPUSA folks.

Christ.
