As I have said to students nowadays, the most important thing one learns in school is how to learn, and using LLMs completely defeats that objective. The process matters.
You don't use a fork lift the gym. The immediate result—weights up in the air—is not always the key reason to do something.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

It's funny how some people believe the Arabic numerals are not the numeral system we commonly use today, because they fall for blatant propaganda. Yet this might lead to wrongly thinking that Arabic numerals are just those we are used to.

english grammar might be quite easy but semantics and pronunciation are really fucked up. some words have multiple opposite meanings. a lot of words have almost identical pronunciation which can be mistook if the you can't clearly hear the speaker.

You are NOT a failure. I don't know where you got that idea from. If you got it externally, its wrong, if you got it internally, it's twice as wrong.
Your circumstances don't make you a failure. Your own thoughts don't make you a failure.

I might just change all my VPS's from OpenBSD to Alpine Linux. I'm tired of finding all sorts of workarounds to comply with the restrictions of a over-secure operating system.

i love static text based web pages with server side rendering like bandcamp (up to not too long ago), hackernews, and sourcehut. i love the absence of javascript in general. it feels like what the web should be, a breeze for the web surfer.
