Hindi, Greek and English all come from a single ancient language – here’s how we know

This now-extinct tongue was probably spoken somewhere in Eurasia as many as 8,000 years ago. But how do we know Proto-Indo-European must have existed?

Oh, you sweet summer child. It's never ever been about science. And it never will be.

Fear. That's their only tool, and they treat every issue like a nail.

For an international law class, I once forgot about a 5 page paper until literally 2 hours before the deadline. I looked up a few sources and didn't stop typing for over an hour straight. Got an A. Fuck A.I. (actual ignorance).

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Imagine making-up a non-existent group just to be mad at so you could lie about your actual intentions.

How absolutely effing childish and banal.

If I did my job nearly as bad as some of these very important people I'd be led from the building while people pointed at me in disgust.
