It's only a nonpublished non peer reviewed preliminary study. I'd be curious to see the methods they used as well as their actual testing for statistical significance. For now, you're probably fine.

Got to spend the weekend surrounded by some of my best friends. Truly I have such a rich life filled with so many different fantastic people and I love them all and it makes this world as it is a little easier to handle.

As civilian boats carrying baby formula, food, water, wound care, and medicine began to see the shoreline of Gaza, military soldiers armed to the teeth illegally boarded and kidnapped these civilians in international waters.

Gazans being starved by the state of Israel wait.

Do not get distracted.

‘The law is clear: any attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla or its civilian crew is a clear and blatant violation of international law.

The United States has an obligation to protect its citizens from foreign attack.’

Being an actual adult is great because what do you mean the youths are judging people for "doing too much" when they write a longer actually thoughtful discussion posts in online classes. I don't have to give a shit what they think about it!

I've been managing work and school fine, but I do now feel incredible guilt whenever I spend a day doing nothing, even when nothing is behind.

I'm not sure to what end and I sincerely fear any kind of calling it out will result in my work being graded more harshly.

This is a 300 level class that I have to fork over at least 1k for and is a requirement for me to get my degree and she appears to be the only teacher for it. It's a little bullshit that there's no actual recourse for this. Trust I combed through the university policies and faculty policies.

Like this is insane right? Why are we not holding professors to the same ethical standards as students? None of this was disclosed as being AI and most of her course material (module "podcasts" and "lectures") are very obviously generated using Notebook LM and not even reviewed...

Kat @katatta.bsky.social · 18d

The AI part is especially interesting considering her class powerpoints looks like this...

Also I must share these gems... None of this applies to me but she sent this nastygram to the entire class today...

Kat @katatta.bsky.social · 18d

Y'all. This is... incorrect, right? I emailed the professor and she still claims that in the absence of a line graph, a histogram would be what you'd want to show change in variable over time but that's... wrong... right?

Being the only student with my camera on in this zoom class so I can nod and shake my head
because that is less embarrassing than sitting there in silence across the class when the professor asks if we have any questions.
