    Well, I am unsure if I agree with that, as my business management class, which had pretty ordinary coursework about it without really anything ‘exciting’, had a vast majority of students paying tons of attention and actually learning, and half of the class was the stereotypical lazy bum students who acted macho and popular even though everyone hated them.

    Although, the people who failed that class failed to the most catastrophic degree, as everyone else was well above passing, certain students got an overall score from 10 to 30% in total for all assessments.

    I’m not too sure how standard this type of class is, so the success rate of accounting or other classes could be highly varied


  • As a melbournian myself, it’s really disappointing such a thing would occur, although that said I’m not surprised. I’m surrounded by peers who overwhelmingly support Palestine to the extent that they even have targeted hatred towards Jews, mostly singing songs glorifying genocide and throwing racial slurs, which I hypothesise could be the case here.

    It’s to the extent that I am terrified to even mention which side I support, as this group would assault anyone with even slight variation in opinion, and the worst part is that I’m not even able to avoid these individuals as it’s a high school with an overwhelming amount of ‘free radicals’.

    Yep, I accidentally opened a news article when the news panel slid out without my knowledge, then I realised all my tabs, bookmarks, passwords, everything, was imported from chrome to edge. No consent, no nothing, it wasn’t even the first time I opened edge, it was just that this time it involved my data. Safe to say I reported it to the ACCC (Australian competition and consumer commission) and did as much as I could to erase my data from edge and stop edge from opening as easily.


  • As a gen Zer, I honestly use AI stuff too much, although I’ve never gotten so far into it that I developed a strong relationship, all I do with services like chatGPT and others are to ask questions about random topics, mainly random off-the-dome questions and advice on topics like games and schoolwork, and the occasional conversation.

    I noticed that I tend to learn at a worse level and don’t research much above the surface nowadays due to this, and it seems like this excessively convenient service is causing a craving, just like alrogithmic social media addiction.

    I’m a little lost on how to get myself out of this, although baby steps like causing more friction, such as removing AI app widgets on my mobile devices and web apps on desktop ones, could have some benefit, although for desktop, I mainly just type the URL anyway, so I’m not sure.
