Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.

while my opinion of economy as a field is not very high, i still have high enough opinion of any teacher to believe they do outperform shitty ai…

more like “how bad is the education”?

well, not sure if it works the same everywhere in the world, but here, you first write the graduation thesis and then you have to publicly defend it.

if the defense committee (or is it an attack committee, since it is the student who is on defense? :D) can’t ask questions in a way to find out whether the student actually wrote the paper and understands the topic, then what fucking pseudo-scientific field is that? (and the answer indeed is - it is economics 😂)

no, it means they will try to somehow apply the knowledge they acquired to real life problem. creating a project, instead of writing a text.

it is not just the US… the VSE - Prague’s university of economics and business has decided to abandon graduation theses, because it is supposedly “impossible to verify” whether they were written by student or AI, and replaced them with “hands-on” graduation project)

the true mind-fuck is that people in us intelligence community now have to think twice about what they can share up the chain of command.

Why do you think you understand every person

i have not said that. also, the thinking of the people is not relevant here, the result is.

Bravery does exist.

it does exist, but going on a suicide mission that is not going to change anything is not bravery. it is useless.

There are people willing to risk their lives for their ideals without being selfish and proud about it. It’s not always main character syndrome just because you’re unable to imagine any other explanation.

yes, it is. there are only two possible outcomes. either your death for the cause does not change anything, and then why would you decide to suicide in the first place?

or you think you are so important that your death will change things, and if you think that, you are just delusional. i am not trying to be asshole here, i am being realistic. if the fucking pope decided to visit there and they would accidentally bomb him to sto’vo’kor, they would say “oops, that was unfortunate” and people would mourn for a week, before things would go right back to where they were before.

they are aware that they will probably die. It’s not stupidity, it’s bravery.

if you expect to die and still go through with your plan, that it is the definition of stupidity. if you think you are so important that your death will move millions and finally change things, that is the main character syndrome that is being discussed.

in reality, she will get two news cycles and that will be it. nothing will be changed and she will be dead. if she really wants to do something, it is much smarter to do anything where she does not die in the process.

edit: also drones are dirt cheap, so what if some of your quads get shot, you can launch hundreds at once

there were 2 million people in gaza at the end of 2024 according to wiki.

the “dirt cheap” drones will cost 10k+ usd and will be able to carry few kg of payload for quite a limited distance, say 10km.

feeding 2 million people using that can only work in a kid’s cartoon show.

oh that was just the commenter’s childish effort to counterattack and not having any real argument :D

oh no. i didn’t give up to logical fallacy so now i am voting for a genocide? now that is some debate championship stuff. how was kindergarten today?

brave

I was talking about the fact that “what have you done” is childish effort to protect yourself from an argument.

and there is thin line between brave and stupid. only the person with main character syndrom will try to shield a grenade with their body hoping the plot armor will protect them.

What have you done lately?

what they have done lately has zero effect on whether the discussed move is smart or not. that is not how stuff works.

what i don’t get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser…

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work
