    I feel sorry for them, they won’t last the week.

    I hate AI so much, especially when it’s used by fellow em_POC who just want to pass their classes because academic resources are systemically denied to them. None of these people run local models they’re just using models created by White techbros who want to see the world burn. I’m fearful for the amount of settler propaganda that Silicon Valley can disseminate just through the guise of being “a friendly AI assistant”

      I had talked about this a couple weeks ago on one of the general megathreads, but yeah. It honestly scares me a bit just how much the students I know talk about using it. One of my cousin’s kids recently started college and he was telling me about how he got in trouble for using an AI to write a paper and the paper got flagged for plagiarism. Setting aside the plagiarism or even the settler propaganda as you mentioned, what does a student gain from having an AI write a paper for them. And its not like the educational system, especially in the US, fosters much critical thinking skills. In all my time working its always taken me aback just how little people seem to be able to do problem solving. AI is just going to make things so much worse.

        Silicon valley is just a breeding ground for what parts of society they can capture and profit off of. Sure, Imperial Core Jimmy can pay 20 American bucks a month for ULTRA-MEGA CHATGPT INFINITY to give him all his answers but Global South Pedro has to do it “the old way” and he should strive to be able to buy AI services.

        Imperial core Jimmy gets to cheat on his exams and also contribute to climate change destruction onto the Global South, Win Win for the US.
