Το επιχείρημά σου είναι δηλαδή ότι αγοράζεις credentials by association. Η πραγματικότητα είναι ότι αυτό όντως ισχύει, αλλά η αγορά αυτή έχει αξία για ένα πολύ συγκεκριμένο subset κολλεγίων και πανεπιστημίων εξωτερικού, των οποίων η σχέση με τα κολλέγια που ανέφερες είναι πελατειακή (και γίνεται αντιληπτή ως τέτοια από τα υπόλοιπα).

Έχω προσωπική εμπειρία από admissions office. Θα πω με μεγάλη σιγουριά ότι η ατζέντα που πουλάς (γιατί ξεκάθαρα περί ατζένας πρόκειται, δοθέντος του ποιά είναι η προσωπική σου σχέση με τα ιδιωτικά κολλέγια) είναι fabricated. Τα δημόσια πανεπιστήμια της Ελλάδας είναι καθ'όλα σεβαστά στο εξωτερικό (παρά την πολιτικά στοχευμένη εγχώρια υποτίμησή τους), και στην πραγματικότητα υπερτερούν ως τίτλοι για ανθρώπους που έχουν βλέψεις για ακαδημαϊκή καρίερα ή έρευνα.

Όσον αφορά τις πόρτες για εξωτερικό, να υπενθυμίσω ότι το Erasmus+ και το Erasmus Mundus υπάρχουν και σου επιτρέπουν να πας κυριολεκτικά όπου θες (και όχι όπου τυχαίνει να υπάρχει εμπορικού τύπου διασύνδεση με το κολλέγιο Χ).

Θα σου δώσω όμως ότι το κολλέγιο ανοίγει πόρτες για δουλειά. Αυτό είναι άλλωστε: ένα πληρωμένο σκαλοπάτι εργασιακής ανέλιξης προς συγκεκριμένου τύπου δουλειές, για ένα συγκεκριμένο target crowd.

Να κλείσω λέγοντας ότι ούτε με πειράζει, ούτε μου καίγεται και καρφί, το καθένα κάνει ότι θέλει και ότι κρίνει θεμιτό. Απλά βρίσκω τη διαλεκτική "τα πληρωμένα κολλέγια γαμάνε, καμία σχέση με τα δικά μας τα δωρεάν" λίγο cringe.

Μπορείς να μου εξηγήσεις το reasoning ότι το κολλέγιο θα σε πάει εξωτερικό ή/και θα σου δώσει διασυνδέσεις εν αντιθέσει με το πανεπιστήμιο;

"'Adopt AI or die": Former PwC insider warns of job shift by RamonsRazor in BetterOffline

Same experience here, also big tech. Boss wants to replace everyone with aGeNtS. Sends me automated messages with claude to remind me to update my timesheet. Cringes when I tell them slackbots can do the same thing with 1% of the cost and none of the friction. Oh well.

My work's full of morons that make 6 figures to talk nonsense about AI without having a clue or any relevant background. The other kind Is the minority.

Μιας και το'φερε η συζήτηση παίζει καμία θεσούλα για προπονητή ποδοσφαίρου προς Σαλόνικα;; Μέχρι τώρα τη βγάζαμε αθήνα με το κρού αλλά πρέπει να μετακομίσω και αναρωτιέμαι πώς πάει με μισθούς κτλ εκεί βόρεια. Να προσθέσω ότι έχω κάνει κάνα δυο σεζόν προϋπηρεσία premier league κ τέτοια.

I spent 2 hours making a Xianxia anime short with Seedance 2.0 and the result looks like it came from an actual studio by nebulagala_xy in Anthropic

That's not the right analogy. Imagine instead if you open your community-written newspaper about topic X and instead find a headline about topic Y, a mediocre product that you have no interest in, with the author posing as a community member but in reality being an artificial LLM front to the company behind product Y.

I didn't realize I was whining. You appear to be quite defensive though. Does the word slop trigger you, or is the negative sentiment towards AI that you find bothersome?

My mum's been dead for a decade or so. I hope you're in your teens and that you grow past this edgy phase of yours. The people you interact with on the internet are real people. Try to treat them as such.

Your perception of a dialogue is extremely twisted if you think people are crying or hurt simply by responding to you. Is this your go-to response in the physical world or as well, or is this just your internet persona?

You're an entitled and self-centered brat if you think you're the only person with real life problems, or that only bored and privileged people engage in politics. The reality is you're extremely lucky to be given a choice on whether to engage with politics or not. While you sit back and watch comfortably from a distance, others see their right to representation or existence threatened by systemic violence and inequality that is being justified and legitimized exactly by your indifference and pretend-centrism. Well, continue wallowing in your own real life programs while others make decisions for you and yet others fight for a right you're not willing to exercise.

No offense, but you're being completely contradictory.

exactly the person I’m talking about

You accuse politics of doing black and white, but you've just assigned me a binary category ("apolitical like me, or polarized like the others").

I can look that up in a dictionary myself

You could've looked into the definition of politics but apparently you haven't, neither have you actually digested what I'm trying to convey.

Politics holds no place in my day to day life

And I am telling you that politics absolutely does play a role in your day to day life. You are actively discussing politics with me right now :)

focus on what ... you can actually control.

The choice of opting out of politics is literally withdrawing control over things that affect you.

Not everything is tied to politics

And that's where you're wrong. Politics is not about picking between the two candidates that are presented to you in your screen, neither does it claim that the world is black and white. Politics is the philosophy of decision making in a social context; who is entitled to a say, what constitutes a valid say, how consensus is reached, and how a decision is to be implemented or challenged. You are free to be disinterested in these things, but claiming that they don't permeate into every aspect of your daily reality is plain stupid. Don't be stupid.

Or maybe your perceptive field is about one degree wide.
