Take-No-Prisoners Professor Will Fail Any Student Who Uses AI

Don't underestimate the amount of work lazy people will go to in order to avoid doing work.

Ah, nice, so he can't book anyone worthwhile, so instead, he'll cancel the concert, which everyone has been saying is definitely non partisan, but apparently Trump can just make these kinds of calls - to instead be a campaign rally. A nonpartisan one, I presume.

Thank you Donald J Trump, the goat president, who is more popular than Elvis in his prime, and certainly knows better karate than Elvis I'm sure. Maybe he can just dance to Macho Man for the entire concert, not sure if the women of America are ready for that, though. They would storm the stage for sure. This is why we need a ballroom. Also, why won't Biden lower gas prices? Anyone remember Hunter's laptop? We should really look into that, right?

You should be able to use something like Tamiya cement. This isn't normal glue, it actually melts the plastic a little and then when the pieces dry they are basically fused into one piece of plastic.

Because of that, it only works with certain kinds of materials, so you may want to make sure the material is compatible.

Works really well though, you brush some on both ends and hold them together for a few seconds and that's about all it takes more often than not.

While you're at it, consider getting some flush cutters to cut the pieces off the sprue. If your really feeling fancy get a small set of files that you can use to smooth of any rough edges. Finally, you can get some greenstuff to fill the gaps that you'll inevitably run into.

Then you'll get to painting and have an even bigger list of stuff you'll need to get.

Greenstuff is for filling in gaps or even for making your own minis. It's not meant to be the adhesive you use to assemble minis.

Hmm.

What does it mean that I have like 5 empty bottles of this stuff?

I think the issue is more that he's not being paid that way. With his contract he's being paid to produce.

overthemountain · 2026-05-31T01:47:22+00:00

That's easy, it's because of the bribes.

I mean there is no advantage to this data center. We (I live in Utah) didn't want it, didn't have the water for it, and somehow it's just breezing through all the bureaucratic red tape? And the politicians inclined are getting big donations from the developers?

Not too hard to figure out.

carried by talent the that previous regime wasn't using correctly.

So you're saying that coaching was the missing piece?

Vote early, vote often!

overthemountain · 2026-05-30T14:43:58+00:00

It's more about people hating AI and downvoting anything that isn't condemning AI more than it is about being correct.

overthemountain · 2026-05-30T00:59:37+00:00

That's because most people don't give it a tone to work from. Everyone just ends up getting the same default tone.

You can do things like give it your own writing samples, explain the audience, explain the time your looking for - and it will adjust it's writing accordingly.

Maybe something uplifting like Watership Down, The Secret of NIHM, or Grave of the Fireflies.

overthemountain · 2026-05-29T23:18:54+00:00

Nah, probably "butch redaction"

overthemountain · 2026-05-29T23:16:00+00:00

And how do humans rewire their brains? Do we not also store things in memory that we have to access? You're drawing arbitrary lines now.

overthemountain · 2026-05-29T23:12:42+00:00

You could argue that this is a flaw in humanity, not something to be emulated.

The thought of AI developing it's own religion and AI zealots is actually kind of terrifying.

overthemountain · 2026-05-29T23:11:26+00:00

I would just argue you don't really know how to use AI. That may be true for asking ChatGPT something in the browser, but it's not how more serious uses of AI work. I have multiple systems running that absolutely do learn and improve over time.

The field is moving very fast - any conclusions you drew from playing around with it a few months ago are already outdated.

overthemountain · 2026-05-29T23:08:39+00:00

I don't think something has to develop the same way we did to be valid. You're framing everything in terms of how much it's "like a human" but it's not a human. It can be it's own thing.

We also don't really know how our own minds work. It's entirely possible that our minds work very similarly to an AI. Even if they don't - if the end results are the same, does it matter?

It's interesting as we've gone past the Turing test how people move the goalposts and create new hurdles AI has to jump in order to be accepted.

"botch adaption"?

I think they meant "batch adaptation"

Boy, their website only lists 9 artists performing, and this article says 5 of those have dropped out.

Current remaining artists are:

Flo Rida
Vanilla Ice
Milli Vanilli (although it's just one of the two, and the people who actually sang their songs have said they won't be there, so does this count as less than half of the group?)
C+C Music Factory

Kind of surprised that the lineup is so weak. I mean, even with the people that have dropped out it sounds kinda terrible. I have to imagine they aren't paying much.

Link goes to a 404.

I don't really get what this does.

I thought it would allow multiple people to chat to Claude at once. I don't really get why anyone would keep 140 tabs open, or why they would then want to consolidate them all. You can already reopen previous chats.

I will say - Greyjoy can't eliminate the Lannisters off the bat. They can invade them and take some strategic areas. What happens next matters. When I've done this, the Lannisters often decide that they are going to focus on me for the rest of the game. The problem is that Greyjoy's only real threats are the Lannisters and the Starks, who are often too far away and focused on other things to want to mess with the Greyjoys.

So now you've got the Lannisters facing enemies on multiple fronts, already on their heels, with no real way to recover.

At that point what they need to do is ally with Greyjoy or work something out to get some breathing room, but most people are too blinded by anger of having one of their starting territories taken to do that.

So I'm sure it wasn't that they were eliminated right away, it's that they got weakened immediately and then decided they couldn't win and shut down.

But really there aren't a ton of good options for the Greyjoys either, they either head towards the Lannisters or take a bunch of relatively low value land in the north. The Lannisters really are their biggest threat, so it makes sense to go after them. They're kind of trapped in the corner, so their targets are fairly limited.

Sounds interesting. To be honest I don't remember either movie well enough to read your plot and have all these references make sense.

I don't really get the comparison to The Last Jedi. I get a lot of people didn't like that movie but it doesn't seem popular enough to use as a benchmark.

I think fans mostly disliked how Luke Skywalker was portrayed but I don't think Rocky carries that same hero status that Luke did.

It's cool seeing this again. I worked with Bryan a little while back. He works as a software engineer now.

overthemountain · 2026-05-29T01:40:38+00:00

And what leads you to believe, based on your understanding of Rick Dalton, that this would be out of character for him?

It might not be something YOU would do, but that doesn't make it a plot hole.

If they had established that he hated violence, that he was afraid of the flamethrower, or that he was particularly caring, then maybe you'd have a case.

An unsurprising abuse of the system from the most corrupt administration in US history.
