“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

really important thread ⬇️
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

There is a bug with Viscount Chocolat where if it reduces the enemy to exactly 0 health, it remains alive. Since characters with 0 or less attack don't attack, this can create an infinitely-recurring* Punxsutawney Phil... for your OPPONENT.
