  • Y’know to an extent I get the whole “but he was a father and husband!” angle

    But how many thousands of parents and children died so this man could get another yacht? How many of them died slow, painful deaths from awful illnesses that could have been cured or prevented while he didn’t? He, along with all his executive friends, was a mass murdering psychopath. There is zero moral difference between committing murder with a gun and committing murder with the stroke of a pen.







  • Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

    I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.


  • I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

    For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

    That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.








  • The most common explanation I’ve seen, and imo it makes sense, is that things mostly just work now. Even XP required a helluva lot more troubleshooting and messing with stuff to make it work than today. So you not only have a bunch of people that have no troubleshooting experience, a large portion don’t even know how to properly search for things.

    On the flip side, you have a lot more people doing insanely impressive stuff at a lot younger ages because if you have the drive to do it, there’s more material to learn than ever out there.
