@birrabash@ryangrim Firstly, the idf lies about everything so there is no reason to think this man was anything other than a journalist.
Secondly, if a foreign army invades your country, steals your land and kills civilians, you do not owe them any secrecy if you spot their troops locations.
@per_incuriam2 Over the last 5 hours or so I have read all of the posts on your substack. You have remarkable courage and moral clarity. I was brought literally to tears at times. I wish you all the best.
@fahadansari He was mad to have posted that stuff under his legal name but also he did nothing wrong and Simon myerson is an utter cunt. Hopefully one day the tables are turned and there will be a reckoning for these fascist scum!
@NiaFrome Exactly. All of this has to be seen in context of both the financialisation of education and in terms of the broader employment market. It explains why students would feel so risk averse when it comes to grades. Those grades are part of an extended employment application.
Whereas if you use AI to get good grades, the value invested into the education is more likely to produce returns in the economy through access, opportunities and jobs. Learning is nice but it is risky and might not pay off. There are horrific perverse incentives for students.
These young people understand their material conditions. University is a gatekeeper to better paying jobs and getting good grades is the yardstick by which opportunities and internships are apportioned. Why risk learning or experimenting if a tool can guarantee those grades?
Learning and experimenting is a risky behaviour. If you get it wrong your grades suffer and you may lose access to opportunities. The vast amounts of money you or your family commits to education becomes a bad investment.
