Micheal from vsauce and Hannah fry are doing a podcast + YouTube, and a recent episode was something like "numbers so large they break your mind"
Their visualization for 52! (Factorial, or the number of combinations in a deck of cards) was incredible.
Number line thing was from there as well

It's really good to put large numbers in context like this. I don't think most people realize exactly how large 1 billion is, let alone 780.
A good visualization is putting 10k and 1 billion on a number line and seeing where 1 million falls on it.

Anyone local knew intuitively. The Morouns are a stain on humanity
I'm a few years into refusing to read anyone platforming Nolan Finley... so without reading I'm just going to assume the Morouns donated

I ran a few of my past assignments through a few different websites and never scored over 5%.

to be clear, the prof responded to my request for clarification by emailing me, then immediately emailed the entire class with the "policy" prefaced with "Sorry, I'm reusing an old syllabus and overlooked adding an Ai policy"
Their policy scored from 35-85% ai generated btw, lol

No.
That was my first inclination, but it sounded too accusatory and wasn't going to be helpful for future group interactions.
I'm kinda hoping the prof email will nip it in the bud... but I'm also considering referencing the email in our group chat to lightly make the point that it's not cool.

Very frustrating that there isn't a school wide policy, but thank you for confirming that!
I'm not really trying to get classmates in trouble... I just don't want that slop associated with me.

No, my concern was how a group member's use of Ai would effect my grade (if caught) after I realized that a peer was "100% likely" to be using Ai for their assigned written responses.
Prof responded with a general policy to use Ai ethically (eg citations), w/o mentioning any consequences.

@erindwyer.bsky.social, as someone at the school but not at all associated with this specifically, can you point me towards any OU policy on student's use of ai?
I'm worried my professor is a bit technologically illiterate and may not recognize the signs.

The syllabus doesn't have any policy, and the school only seems to have guidelines for their own use of Ai, not students... so I messaged the professor to ask them to clarify what is acceptable (without pointing any fingers!)

Ignorance is fine; we can all always learn more. Willful ignorance, however, is a pretty gross choice to make for oneself.

So now cheeseburgers and teenagers are "flint all over again"
Instead of doubling down, try to understand why it's important to recognize different things can both be bad for different reasons, and deserve their own recognition of the causes and solutions.

No, it really isn't (unless your only metric is unhealthy drinking water... in which case every dirty puddle of water is "flint all over again")
