Lol. Ask Uber how the actions of their employees and contractors aren’t their responsibility.

They also reported, in the very same survey, that they are using AI for homework more than ever before, with usage climbing from 48 per cent to 62 per cent in barely seven months. The students, in other words, can see the problem clearly. They simply cannot stop participating in it.

This suggests that what students using AI lack isn’t critical thinking skills. If they didn’t have those at all they wouldn’t be able to see the problem. This suggests that what they actually lack is self control and the discipline to quit using AI for their homework.

This is not cognitive dissonance in any simple sense. It is something more structurally interesting: students have correctly diagnosed a systemic problem, but they exist within a system that gives them no rational incentive to behave differently.

The incentive would be that they gain the skills they are supposed to gain by doing the school work. School work pretty much has always been designed to be a framework of building blocks designed to build skills. Skills like the ability to retain information, the ability to recall information learned and put it together with other new information, the skills to build info on info to go from understanding the barest concepts to understanding the technical details. Those skills are what bring reading and writing, math, science, etc together so we can go from 1+1=2 to πR^2, and understand the real world applications.

While I can get behind the idea that teaching critical thinking has been minimized to its most basic form in schools in order to facilitate better test scores for decades, I don’t think it’s fair the say that school don’t teach critical thinking skills. I think perhaps it’s fairer to day that schools don’t prioritize teaching them, relying on people’s ability to observe and Intuit and come to conclusions which is exactly what critical thinking skills are.

I do agree that Generative AI LLM’S are exacerbating the problems that were already there in this system. I even agree that administration at pretty much all levels of teaching is failing to mitigate the problems with Generative AI LLM’S.

But students wouldn’t know this without critical thinking skills:

Assignments are graded. Grades determine university admissions. University admissions determine (or are perceived to determine) life outcomes. If your peers are using AI and getting better grades, opting out is not a principled stand.

If the AI Agent counts as an employee then the company “employing” it is liable for what it does.

My guess is the argument will be that “it’s a tool”, not an employee, and therefore they take no responsibility. Though I’m sure that argument is not going to fly for very long. If your air hammer harms someone because the person operating it wasn’t using it correctly, you’re still liable.

God I hope it’s decisions are final and it says something catastrophic to the business.

I know that Shutup 10++ doesn’t allow anything else to change certain setting after they have been enabled or disabled there so I figured it was worth a shot.

Fair enough. Makes sense to me.

I want to reanimate that mans corpse, force his soul back in there, and make him live with all the consequences for the horrible shit he’s done.

I’m a US citizen and I refuse to feel shame for a government that knows better and does shit like this. Contempt. I feel contempt for our government.

Not the US. Trump and cronies. Most of the US don’t understand why we started this nonsense in the first place. Historically, Saudi Arabia took a bunch of refugees during WW2 and that’s at least part of the reason they and US government are so buddy buddy but there was no reason for Trump to get us involved with their strikes on Iran. We’re here because idiots voted in the head idiot.

Throw up your hands and wring them then instead of being proactive toward what you want. If all you’re here for is to complain, good riddance.

I’m not a mod. Literally have never been a mod. Pretty sure I can’t be trusted to be a mod.

At any rate what I’m trying to say is other people might also report the comments if you link to them and call them out.

If you want action, that’s how you get it. But the rhetoric you’re spewing turns people who might otherwise be on your side (against Israel for what they are doing in Palestine), and nobody gets anything done by themselves.

Have you tried shut up 10+? The only other thing I can think of is blocking the ports that allow Windows updates to download. That or switching from pro to enterprise and using a cracked key that lets you forgo feature updates but still get security updates.

In some cases it doesn’t have an effect. Some things are just so big and have so many revenue streams that avoiding the products means removing approximately 4 cents from their revenue stream per person. Millions of people would have to do it all at the same time and that is difficult to organize and maintain.

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t stick to your guns and not support things you have objections to. Something something integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking something something.

Can you point to the people who said that?

Thank you for taking on the task. We (mostly) appreciate it.

There have been at least three different mods who have responded to you. Which one are you calling biased.

More importantly (from the standpoint of moderation tools being pretty elementary to non-existent here on Lemmy), can you link to the individual comments?

My best guess is that the user who you spoke to reported your comments which is why they were all removed.

But with a backlog of over 300 reports when the mods are essentially volunteers, they can’t read the entirety of every conversation in order to find fault with comments that weren’t reported.

So, if the comments were bad enough that you feel they should be removed, please report them.

And stop with the all caps and the “Zionist” stuff. I don’t like genocide and don’t agree with Israel on most things but it’s hard to take you seriously when you sound like you’re raving.

Apparently the comment in question also identified an ICE agent. Which shouldn’t count as doxxing. We pay their salary we deserve to know who they are.

And has been making new accounts (and using an older account with a different name).

You did, actually. The very last panel of the comic is missing (the panel that puts all the other panels together into a singular image). It’s there in the source post (which I’m still pissed I had to go to reddit to verify).
