Thanks for the tag! Will try to fit it in between grading :)

Huizi: I couldn't find any use for this LLM other than to plagiarize my assigment
Zhuangzi: you dope, you could have used it to brainstorm and develop a hand-balm for gooners or to induce psychosis in other users

This is true of any Dad thought, if held too long

anecdotal, but pivoting away from allowing personal-reflection type stuff for first-year or introductory courses cut down on this kind of stuff a lot. I get the motivation for such prompts but it leads to "this is how I feel & think" without any requirement to justify oneself to others.

Congratulations!

Related genre: "This interpretation/writing would receive a zero in my class." No it would not. Stop lying for a twitter/bluesky post.

Yea I agree and that's something we discussed: the duty to explain the actions of one's country might seem silly, but is more plausible when you're widely considered an aggressor, and it's fucked to lie about being a citizen of a country yours is threatening to avoid another's demand for reasons

99% of the time they're liberals, ime. Also to be very mildly charitable: depending on where and who, it's not just embarrassment but sometimes people are hostile

We actually talked about this phenomenon in my seminar when it comes to the duties of citizenship lol

This reminds me though of people claiming a machine couldn't be minded because when you asked it how to solve climate change it gave the same answer some random person on the street would give you

Don't forget "I was valedictorian but at a state school"

"Philosophy is racist, i have never had a colleague of color in any of the Top 5 departments that hired me"

That's how I moved from Canada for my current job

As in forthcoming somewhere, or do you mean in-progress? Interested in a draft if the former!
