Lol no. You absolutely cannot.

You can maybe make it look nicer, but your high school diploma and street cred does not an education make.

The neat thing about it is, if you think this way, it would be impossible to prove to you that you can’t do it yourself just as well. Without DOING it, you just don’t know how much you don’t know compared to a university faculty member. There are people who can go to the library (or Internet) and good will hunting an education, but I can basically guarantee that neither you nor anyone you know or will ever know is one of them.

Recipe:

1 egg

3/4 cup of your favorite oil

1 medium banana

1 pinch lemon zest

Put oil in pan over medium high heat until oil just smokes, allow to smoke for 15 seconds, then reduce temperature to “egg making temperature”. Add egg. Burn the shit out of that innocent bastard and push it around while repeating “egg slide freely!”. Remove your egg with a crispy, brown bottom and wet, runny whites from the skillet. Reserve oil.

Into one large coffee mug, pour your oil, add lemon zest.

Last, throw all this in the trash with your Teflon skillet, and eat the banana.

I wish I knew the answer. I know one person who took that path and he is not a super bright guy and I’m not sure what value he brings… but business PhD and then teaching position in the 600k range. I did a rocket science PhD and finally took an industry job after like 6 years running a lab for less than 100k, but my advisor was around 180k with full faculty.

400k was the salary of the university president, so… you add the rocket science faculty to the president and you get a faculty salary in the business school? It doesn’t make a lot of sense. I suppose maybe because MBA is a high demand degree? If you figure it out let me know, I’d also like to know the answer.

As long as the materials are accurate and serve as an effective teaching aid, where’s the case?

It would be different if the sum total of course materials were wikipedia articles presented by a non expert, but the professor IS an expert. Sure, anyone can use genAI, BUT not anyone can write a relevant, targeted prompt and check the accuracy of the output. This is of course assuming the professor is generating (or at least vetting) materials for accuracy.

IF it turns out the student can find a pattern of inaccurate content there is a case. Otherwise there’s nothing: it would be like arguing that a TA made the materials (or the lecture materials came from a book written by SOMEONE ELSE gasp) and the professor presented them so the class is invalid.

Was your grade exclusively based on the tests and quizzes? That’s the only part that’s questionable here.

Every prof need not write their own unique materials, rather they need to teach you the target material using whatever resources best suit that purpose.

“no trace” isn’t a necessary bar. You can learn business theory from a presentation including a 3 armed gargoyle without loss of information. Materials just need to be checked to be factual, which this seems to meet.

Mr Business Professor is probably one of the highest paid instructors in the college and his time is NOT well spent cruising the internet for PowerPoint images or formatting lecture materials. Frankly that’s not a good use of TA time either.

I have it on good authority that everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you.

Then dont shop there if you don’t like the practices of a store? Bob at the door is not trying to dick you around, he’s just doing his job.

You have no obligation to follow store rules, most rules of etiquette, people’s house rules, etc. but it sure makes you look like an entitled Karen if you go into a situation expecting to do it.

Maybe he uses a Mac?

(I use arch BTW)

Hugging face open-r1 and up? It’s an open source deepseek I think.

So where do I go raise hell with my reddit accounts that have not yet been banned? Automod seems to catch me fast at high pop subs for posts… But maybe the answer is making comments. Idk.

Yeah this is a pretty dumb take. If all social media is stealing your info, then they are still all stealing your info. This is not “if everyone has superpowers nobody does,” it’s just a dipshit thing to say.

Probably they are all spy networks… Not to pee in your cereal or anything.

Exactly. Adding bad examples makes it seem like you couldn’t get 10 good ones which is obviously not true.

Pretty weak 10. Pick one or two and make a compelling article, I’m already trying to quit. We don’t have to make up stuff like “JFC nuclear power!?”

I’d give you $20 for it ;)

People are looking for “king sized sheets” of “paper towel holder” not gtx4070ti super from gigabyte or esp32 chipset bullshit is how. Most people are getting basic shit, not trying to get around Newegg or a PC parts supplier.

That’s not a real sharp take tbf.

First sentence of each paragraph: correct.

Basically all the rest is bunk besides the fact that you can’t count on always getting reliable information. Right answers (especially for something that is technical but non-verifiable), wrong reasons.

There are “stochastic language models” I suppose (e.g., click the middle suggestion from your phone after typing the first word to create a message), but something like chatgpt or perplexity or deepseek are not that, beyond using tokenization / word2vect-like setups to make human readable text. These are a lot more like “don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia” than a randomized acid drop response.

Victual the affluent.

So do we all sign back into our old reddit accounts to say “Luigi” until permaban?

Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.
