  • Lol no. You absolutely cannot.

    You can maybe make it look nicer, but your high school diploma and street cred does not an education make.

    The neat thing about it is, if you think this way, it would be impossible to prove to you that you can’t do it yourself just as well. Without DOING it, you just don’t know how much you don’t know compared to a university faculty member. There are people who can go to the library (or Internet) and good will hunting an education, but I can basically guarantee that neither you nor anyone you know or will ever know is one of them.



  • Recipe:

    1 egg

    3/4 cup of your favorite oil

    1 medium banana

    1 pinch lemon zest

    Put oil in pan over medium high heat until oil just smokes, allow to smoke for 15 seconds, then reduce temperature to “egg making temperature”. Add egg. Burn the shit out of that innocent bastard and push it around while repeating “egg slide freely!”. Remove your egg with a crispy, brown bottom and wet, runny whites from the skillet. Reserve oil.

    Into one large coffee mug, pour your oil, add lemon zest.

    Last, throw all this in the trash with your Teflon skillet, and eat the banana.






  • I wish I knew the answer. I know one person who took that path and he is not a super bright guy and I’m not sure what value he brings… but business PhD and then teaching position in the 600k range. I did a rocket science PhD and finally took an industry job after like 6 years running a lab for less than 100k, but my advisor was around 180k with full faculty.

    400k was the salary of the university president, so… you add the rocket science faculty to the president and you get a faculty salary in the business school? It doesn’t make a lot of sense. I suppose maybe because MBA is a high demand degree? If you figure it out let me know, I’d also like to know the answer.

    Disagree. The trilogy has an extended arc, yes, but each movie also has an arc (or more). So it’s still not REALLY one 10h ish movie.

    Interestingly, the end of fellowship doesn’t really match the end of a major arc to me. You can argue it’s the break of the fellowship, but I think the stronger arc in fellowship is the arrival at rivendell. The end of fellowship DOES coincide with the beginning of several minor arcs though which I guess is the point.


  • As long as the materials are accurate and serve as an effective teaching aid, where’s the case?

    It would be different if the sum total of course materials were wikipedia articles presented by a non expert, but the professor IS an expert. Sure, anyone can use genAI, BUT not anyone can write a relevant, targeted prompt and check the accuracy of the output. This is of course assuming the professor is generating (or at least vetting) materials for accuracy.

    IF it turns out the student can find a pattern of inaccurate content there is a case. Otherwise there’s nothing: it would be like arguing that a TA made the materials (or the lecture materials came from a book written by SOMEONE ELSE gasp) and the professor presented them so the class is invalid.
