the constant message from everyone in power is just "why wouldn't you cheat? what are you, a sucker?" and it's hard to overstate how corrosive it is to the generation just coming of age - ThreadSky

Tate brains to Paul Brother ethos. It's horrible to think.

Not me thinking you were calling people potato brains before I realized what you actually meant 💀 who’s the potato brain now?! (It’s me)

No worries.
Better being a potato brain than a Andrew Tate one.

i'm seeing it with college and high school kids who throw tantrums if their teachers want them to do the work, and who can blame them? every thought leader is telling them that only a sucker would value hard work or independent thought or creativity, they're only reacting to the shit world we made

Buddy I've been railing against cheaterism for 25 years: it was what fueled Enron and every economic disaster since. At least until about 1999 people at least pretended they weren't cheating. Around that time the narrative shifted to, as you say: you're a sucker unless you cheat.

My son is about to start a fine art degree focusing on painting and printmaking. Neither of which are too easy to cheat in. It’s kind of a relief to him that nobody else can either.

One of the things that really concerns me is now that things are getting monetized whose kids can afford to spend the money to cheat.

Considering how they were crying that Please and Thank you were costing ChatGPT millions, the Answer is clearly to make every use of AI by Companies and People increase in price until its too costly to cheat anymore. Its the only thing naked avarice cares about.

This whole concept makes me physically ill. They do know that AI is built on the backs of people who are creative, intellectual, problem-solving innovators? Because AI will never be more than what we feed it, and even if we steal the best of humanity, it will never know where we can GO FROM HERE.

Well apparently the constitution and ALL amendments are frozen then, by that logic.

This looks like it should be from a horror film

boatswimboat.bsky.social•9 days ago

this really resonates. I do all my work myself, but people keep telling me to just... not. It's really demotivating.

"Not cheating is for suckers"

utility-nerd.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh, it's some douche who thinks that Syndrome was right. Those people are *never* man-children, no, deffo not.

I used to be so excited about the future.

"what will tomorrow bring?"

now every day, for years, I wake up, and say 'please.. PLEASE.. can it stop getting shittier.. for just one day..?'

I remember the naked avarice of millennial startup culture and if AI was out ten years earlier I’m confident everyone would be dead by now

For real! And they putting the smart kids who do your homework for you if you slide them a twenty out of business.

I love in a terrible way that this is just a speech from a Pixar film

Plagiarism machine all the way down

I can only speak for the students I interact with, but most of them view this sort of thing with complete scorn. The kids are mostly alright.

zeranno.bsky.social•7 days ago

The mask is just fully off at this point. Fuck thinking and creating, just be a mindless drone in the system. Be our slaves and work for us. Jesus christ.

This reminds me of the horror I felt when I read reports about autistic children disliking lying and cheating, and for some reason, this was framed as a BAD THING.

bitterkarella.bsky.social•7 days ago

no wonder rfk wants to kill them, they won't fit into this brave new shit world they're building

navigatorbr.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wait, what?!

(JFC, it truely doesn't matter what the hell we (autistic people) do, assholes need to make it out as a bad thing.)

Can reality feel like reality instead of an old dystopian novel please
