Professors Say AI Is Destroying Their Students' Ability to Think - SLRPNK

If the students don’t want to learn, then it’s better that they don’t learn. They shouldn’t be forced to learn.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or just don’t understand how fragile democracies are
democracies are stabilized through the workforce: people work and gain power that way. it’s not possible to shit on workers if they’re needed. if there’s ever a mass unemployment, that’s when you can expect democracy to crumble. i believe it has surprisingly little to do with schooling, actually.

It is absolutely possible to ‘shit on workers if they’re needed’, you do it by reducing their education, and their ability to think critically, until you canmore easily manipulate them into voting and acting against their own interests. For an informative example, look to the USA over the last few decades, and how that’s turned out.

From the manipulators point of view, the best part of it is that as people get less and less used to actually critically assessing what they’re told, they start to resent those who do, and that turns to anti-intelectualism and rejecting the science they’re told to reject, thys reinforcing their own subjegation.
