so people are buying tickets to fill a stadium and watch a screen there? seems like there should be easier way to organize that…

Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.

while my opinion of economy as a field is not very high, i still have high enough opinion of any teacher to believe they do outperform shitty ai…

more like “how bad is the education”?

well, not sure if it works the same everywhere in the world, but here, you first write the graduation thesis and then you have to publicly defend it.

if the defense committee (or is it an attack committee, since it is the student who is on defense? :D) can’t ask questions in a way to find out whether the student actually wrote the paper and understands the topic, then what fucking pseudo-scientific field is that? (and the answer indeed is - it is economics 😂)

no, it means they will try to somehow apply the knowledge they acquired to real life problem. creating a project, instead of writing a text.

it is not just the US… the VSE - Prague’s university of economics and business has decided to abandon graduation theses, because it is supposedly “impossible to verify” whether they were written by student or AI, and replaced them with “hands-on” graduation project)

Just be happy that the jpg is not embedded in docx

Conversation with #3 will be the funny one

america was called both and it is not anymore. yes. the results of its efforts were at times dubious, and its ideological position was often clouded with its selfish interest, but complaining about propaganda and countering with propaganda from the opposite direction is not going to move the discussion anywhere

Why on earth should Zelensky do that?

he should not and without reading the article i am pretty sure that is not what it suggests. it illustrates how untrustworthy the former ally (the word leader was used in the past) of the free world is.

as pretentious and exaggerated statement as the first one, or so i suspect. while there are unfortunately still slaves in this world, taking your first statement into account, i doubt you are a person who fled from literal slavery.

society is all around you and literally the only way to quit it is to move somewhere where it is not present. which is a deserted island, or few selected areas in central australia, central africa, maybe some northern canada…

but maybe i have it wrong, in that case please enlighten me and explain your secret. how have you exited the society while simultaneously having this discussion on the internet?

who says you have to live in complete isolation to stop participating?

dictionary and common sense.

you have an internet connection. you are paying for it, or someone else on your behalf. you are eating food and probably paying for it too. you have not quit a society.

i quit society

you are lucky that your deserted island has an internet connection 😂

I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.
