  • and what the fuck would this liberal ideal scenario of a Google Meet meeting even look like?

    euroamerican settler-colonialist: I want to kill you, your family, take your land, **** you and your family, destroy any structure that so much has any connection to you and your people, steal your language to create our own frankenstein version of it (and not even be able to pronounce ح), steal your food, LARP as you and do all of the aforementioned to the rest of the Arab world and beyond.

    palestinians: we just want to live and liberate ourselves.

    like how the fuck are Palestinians seriously expected to “meet them halfway”?






  • Yep, pretty much, I didn’t feel like putting it into words, so thanks for this. I’d add that arguably, when students “play the game”, they get the same flack, or worse, than job applicants who exaggerate or straight up lie in their resume the same way companies lie about free unlimited PTOs, job security, a clear career ladder, etc.

    Using morality or honesty as an argument against students who cheat is an attack on students, a distraction from the fact that this shit doesn’t work the way it was advertised actually, which has been internalized and normalized in many societies, left uncontested, which is big bad.



  • “I am often left with a choice between soliciting participation where students are merely the deadpan voice boxes of hallucinatory AI slop, or silence,” the Philadelphia teacher despaired. “Which am I supposed to choose?”

    ChatGPT isn’t its own, unique problem. It’s a symptom of a totalizing cultural paradigm in which passive consumption and regurgitation of content becomes the status quo," Nathan Schmidt, a university lecturer and managing editor at Gamers With Glasses, told 404.

    Seems to be easier to blame students for understandably responding to rote-practice, monotonous factory-work oriented slopfest curricula with slop, rather than actually addressing the core issue at hand.
