Academia has gotten so dumb and sycophantic, now even Princeton. Continue like this and the intellectual centers will be in Beijing and Moscow soon. But of course bending over for the industry and grant money is more important.

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. – Percy Bysshe Shelley

From TFA: "The course repeatedly contradicts its own privacy and security advice." Further: "The course contains a serious inconsistency when it comes to data privacy and security. On the last day of the course it offers common-sense advice, stating “PROTECT your private info. Never share passwords, Social Security numbers, medical records, or confidential work data with AI tools,” later adding not to share “income data.” But some of the advice and exercises leading up to that point had already prompted users to input some of these “never share” types of data. On Day 3, the course urges the user to input a photo, PDF or recording of their own voice. On Day 4, it says that a “power move” is for users to “give AI your own data to work with,” including instructions to “paste your resume” and “share your monthly expenses.” On Day 5, the course says that a good use case for AI is putting “medical symptoms” in to learn medical terms and prepare questions for a doctor. On Day 6, it tells the user to share their address to find a restaurant near them.

> This seven-day long, 10-minute-per day course I guess ten minutes is the limit attention span of an average adult these days? We can keep this up and in a few years we'll be down to bathroom-break long 15-second-per-short courses.

Sorry, am I being "prompted"?
