So apparently college students are one-shotting essays with LLMs and teachers are quitting because "they want more from life than grading an AI’s essays."

Erik Hoel's solution is to monitor the process of creating an essay rather than just judging the output. Not a terrible idea, but it strikes me as a pretty complex (and tech-dependent) thing to do.

We already have this technology though — it's called _talking_ to people. Socratic dialogue has been the gold standard of learning since forever, and is impossible to fake (particularly if you're in the room together).

At the small college I went to, we had "recitations" every Thursday/Friday with our professors where we talked about the week's readings. They were the best part of the week because we got to hear directly from our professor, and articulate for ourselves what we got out of the reading. The problem is that this approach doesn't scale — but that's part of what makes it worthwhile.

🇺🇸 ANNOUNCING VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE AS A BITCOIN 2025 SPEAKER 🚀

Pretty dumb question.

Money is cheap. Bitcoin is not. I’ll continue to give people paper money for goods and services as long as they are willing to take it. Eventually there will be a time when people will no longer want paper money and that time is not now. Why would anyone give away their valuable assets when people are still accepting less valuable assets? Anyone that has extra fiat and uses it to buy and hold bitcoin should understand that they are truly blessed. If you truly believe in Bitcoin you should understand that one day there will only be Bitcoin and any purchase you make now will be a two pizza story later.

Where da money come fwom?

The moon landing as it's been reported is indeed debatable to the very least, though, and sunscreens are usually carcinogenic sludges that you massage on your skin until they're absorbed. If you really want to protect yourself because you have to stay for a long time under the sun, use coconut oil, that's what indigenous populations of sunny countries used when Weston Price went around the world examining natural living conditions of the human race. But normal healthy practices expect that you take sunlight progressively as you approach the hottest months, so by then you are tan enough to have builtin protection. And even then, you stay under the sun for a controlled amount of time, since we have proper houses, unlike savage populations who lived most of the time outside.

Also carbs are bad for you and that's peacefully accepted.

Knowing that the entire financial system is an evil scam should make you doubt about everything else that even remotely leads to it.

Oh thank god it’s fake 🤣🤣

“Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white western women may help with assimilation.”

He likely understands the logic but can’t acknowledge that his personal success came as a result of a manipulated monetary system, rather than his value creation in a free market. Ever since listening to you on Coinstories, I’ve had to apply that line of reasoning to my own situation. It can be a tough pill to swallow to view your own life circumstances that way. Insightful, as always Jeff.
