Here we go again. The implication here is that the way AI generates its output is with human-like cognition. Which is untrue. "Cognitive capabilities humans have" is not the same is "outputs comparable to those of humans."

The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring.

This is a bit of a atretch/hope: there were 5 protests, with the largest two being up to 300 people, a total of around a thousand or so people.

Same thing happened with the Iraq War! So many savvy Responsible Adults later admitted it was a huge tragic mistake, but that somehow they were still right for supporting it when they did. Who did they still think WAS wrong, though? Those dumb filthy hippies who opposed it too early!
It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

People say AI has no business model; but tbh I think part of the business model is getting people so hooked on it by the means of cooking their brains alive, that they then will pay any price to even function in everyday life.

I know it sounds boomerish, but I'm terrified of AI. People getting dumber by becoming overly reliant on it for thinking and expression, the weird AI psychosis. I can already feel the negative impact of addictive short-form content on me. I've never used Chat-GPT etc and hopefully never will.

Thanks to an absolute blitzkrieg of marketing and the investment of tens of billions of dollars, the "AI" business has unconditionally captured the allegiance of almost everyone who doesn't know what it really is.
in the last few days i have had 3 separate conversations where my saying ‘i don’t use chat GPT’ is treated like i’ve said ‘i don’t turn on the light in my house because i think it’s powered by a demon’. it’s a dividing line that i wasn’t really aware of

They just want a toy that makes them feel good.
