I am under no delusions about academia but still 🫡
No, we do advise students of this, and they universally refuse to listen.

The Mahabharata Is Not About Draupadi or Her Honour. Krishna Returns from Hastinapur and Says That Duryodhana Is Not Willing to Return the Kingdom Without a War.
Mahabharata is the most GOATed epic. I was thinking about this: in an age that was so deeply patriarchal and misogynistic, we produced one of the most pro-women narratives in literature. A woman with five husbands is publicly humiliated, and God himself intervenes, ultimately setting in motion a war to defend her honour and the rights of her clan.

I have a story which, if successfully publicized, could lead to the arrest of multiple people for mortgage fraud, forgery, and elder abuse, and would see millions of dollars returned to their rightful owners. Please reach out if you are a reporter. Thank you!

"this guy behaved unethically which means he's a bad person which means he shouldnt participate in commerce" is an idea that, once it becomes sufficiently popular, leads to eternal religious wars fair enough if youre sure your side will dominate, but how sure are you

“Imagine all the Muslims in your country decided to leave and relocate to an Islamic country”
Dear non-Muslims, Imagine all the Muslims in your country decided to leave and relocate to an Islamic country where they could freely practise their faith, follow Islamic principles and live according to their beliefs. Would you be happy to see us go, or would you feel our absence? Be honest, would you support that choice or oppose it?

If ever did abandon it, it would be because I recognised that the arguments were not as airtight as i once believed (no one ever died of a performative contradiction) and that there was a genuine case for a better alternative. I’m still here though. No one has ever produced said better case.
If you USED TO BE a libertarian and no longer identify as such, what happened? Your brain fell out?

LLMs aren’t conscious is a good counterexample. Clearly true, no argument required

It seems African academics and writers disproportionately use AI to write. When they got caught, they invented the excuse that African writing just sounds like AI to Pangram. But there are zero examples of pre-LLM African writing flagging as AI. Not even one!

Very funny. `African scholars` write everything with AI now & claim Pangram produces false positives because they inherited excessive formalism from colonialism. Apparently they didn't inherit basic logic since they didn't realize this hypothesis could be tested in ten minutes

Anyone who gives a fuck about women has to be a little Islamophobic
Reminder that Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaiden's Tale because she is an Islamophobic radfem who was horrified by the Islamic Revolution. Since then she has continued to rail against Iran, but has also been a vocal supporter of Ukraine. She has said almost nothing about Gaza

i don’t care if the ai is doing the “boring” parts of coding, people have been making video games just fine for decades before generative ai. if you’re facing a problem solving it yourself breeds these beautiful things called “experience” and “ingenuity”
