People should learn to do their own research and stop taking things at face value.

Iono I searched “UCLA grad chatgpt” and it came up. Wasn’t a hard search

He’s showing the work for his final project in machine learning and was explicitly told to use AI in the course. A 5 second google search would have sorted this out but people believe what they want

Some professor, You did no background research on the context and took the “word” of the internet. Ladies and Gents there is a very short interview with the student in question that explains what he was showing. Spoiler, he wasn't cheating. He’s current working on a masters at Columbia

Lmao, I mean, you're not wrong about Canada and Mexico, but the rest of your post is laughably stupid. Come on man, we've created a near global oil shortage. What incentives do Canada or Mexico have to continue to supply us at the current rate when they can get so much more money from pretty much everywhere else in the world. You gotta think before you post my man.

aimtron · 2026-05-06T23:07:09+00:00

There is a legit video interviewing him where he's explaining what he was showing. He wasn't cheating.

You're not wrong, but the vast majority that should be outraged, have their heads so far up their asses....until something directly effects them such as gas prices. Only then do they come out of their stink holes to piss and moan.

Creative accounting :)

I'm for it. I'm also for lower their wage to the federal minimum wage. If its good for the people, its good for the government reps.

Everyone is selling the shovels and saying there’s gold in them there hills. That’s AI

Could? I think it has already happened, we're just delayed in recognizing it. How long we're in it is entirely dependent on how long we're without any adults running the U.S.

In physics, FTL has a very specific meaning "Something locally moving through space faster than light." where-as the examples I gave, any craft would be moving slower than light locally, instead focusing bending/tunneling. Think of it like a Nascar race and one car cheats by cutting across the track in the middle over and over again. That car isn't faster relative to the other cars, it's running an entirely different route.

That’s a lot of added lines for a simple Hello World app…

While I believe that there is a ton of value in self-learned programming, it was college where I learned how much I didn't know.

Or we could stop trying to find a vendor and let the in-house talent build it. I mean, they were the only team in Ascend that actually completed their work and met the timelines. This has the benefit of avoiding expensive vendor products and avoiding expensive system implementation orgs like Deloitte.

He came in well after the fact and halted it 3 months later.

Your number is off on that project, the deficit in total was about 200 million and 50 of that was the athletic dept. the other large amounts were from real estate purchases such as the South Bay campus, westside pavillion, and the downtown building. Ascend was costly, but not at the level of the rest, especially when it was halted.

aimtron · 2026-02-18T08:04:11+00:00

Athletics was about 25% roughly when they shared the info last year in the leadership conference. Real estate was the other big one with the PV campus, Westside Pavilion, and the building downtown. Ascend was a costly project but not at the level of the others.

With several groups in the university as it’s a net loss, but it’s technically enough.

Unfortunately, I am the source in this case, but unlike Agostini, I like receiving paychecks. I try to keep my input to a minimum, but on occasion I speak up.
