I refuse to believe that AI will cheaper than five grad students.

[–] machiabelly@hexbear.net 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I pay my grad students with thank you letters!

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago

ChatGPT will now write the thank you letters. Boom, free labour with AI.

A Bluesky comment

Sal Khan came to my college campus a few months ago to give a talk. Everybody was very excited. Many of us had fond memories of learning chemistry or calculus from his videos… then he gave a “talk” (read: “ad”) on this crap... very disheartening

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I actually thought this guy was based until I just read this cursed shit

[–] featured@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Lol sure man. Like having 5 grad students who are sleep deprived and hungover maybe, hallucinating bullshit confidently

[–] context@hexbear.net 32 points 5 days ago

but i repeat myself!

. Like having 5 grad students who are sleep deprived and hungover maybe, ~~hallucinating bullshit confidently~~

if they could somehow conquer the bullshit, they might approach nearly perfect emulation of actual grad students, otherwise they're just tenured faculty

[–] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 36 points 5 days ago

What these ghouls fail to realize/intentionally ignore is the fact that socialization is vital to human growth and development and that is a significant part of the value of schooling. Teachers aren't just fact dispensers or paper graders or presentation-givers, theyre (ideally, lets be real here) mentors and mandatory reporters and role models but most importantly they're people.

These pricks want to alienate and isolate some of the most vulnerable people in the world because they could make a buck off of it. Assholes.

I'm surprised that someone who was pretty good at helping people through complex topics is such a dumbass, but I guess that's tech bro brain for you

Without his lessons I probably wouldn't have a degree lol

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Truly transcendental figure in science pedagogy, serious dumbass outside of that field apparently

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

This is most STEMlords, especially the M and E parts

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

he has a lot of incentive to buy into this bullshit considering the piles of money he stands to make from it

[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago

I do remember one of his economics lectures on aggregate demand and explaining keynsian economics he kept prefacing everything with "Im not saying this actually how the economy works, I'm just teaching you theory behind it". If i had to guess he's prob also a libertarian

Children will make any LLMs their bitch. They are creative, ruthless and not cooperative learners. Within 5 minutes your chatbot won't be able to say anything but peepeepoopoo.

Within 5 minutes your chatbot won't be able to say anything but Skibidi Sigma Aurafarming

FTFY

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

Those kids will be all right, LLMs are but another toy to break, less like a grad student more like one of those cheap solar calculators where the lil solar part would come off and it was more amusing typing 80085 and 4337 in than actual work.

[–] Lavender@hexbear.net 30 points 5 days ago

Graduate students could assist teachers if they were paid fairly for their work.

Nah, let's just pay the owner of an AI to misinform students.

that's actually kinda cute, it's such a quaint prediction, coming straight from early 2023, when lots of people were impressed and had some degree of hope that AI would be a transformative, positive tool, rather than the nightmare factory churning out piss-colored garbage that it currently is

[–] neo@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

Oh, don't worry. Many CTOs at mid-sized companies throughout the country are getting in on LLMs right now. OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, and Alphabet's sales reps are all laughing their way to the bank.

btw do we know yet, why is all yellow? Just training bias from human made art (seen this claim) or actually reinforcing itself by more and more ai art in the training data? Probably the second one, right? But is there proof?

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

I don't know, but the theory I find to be most likely is that it's due to inbred training data, since it started right after the whole Ghibli thing. Habsburg ass AI. Most Post-Ghibli AI slop acquired that ubiquitous piss filter look, it's hilarious

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

as is the case with absolutely every new technology that comes about.. it always holds so much promise and then a bunch of fuckwads figure out how to turn it into a dystopian tool from hell to make money from it

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

well, i guess they did in fact figure out a way to ruin public education so much that i wouldn't send my kids there.
