      I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

      The New York Times

      nytimes.com
      More than half of teenagers in the U.S. use A.I. tools for help with their schoolwork, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center. The results, the report said, indicate that teenagers think β€œcheating with A.I. has become a regular feature of student life.”

      the interview didn't go perfectly? your follow-up is your second chance.
      
      address that question you stumbled on:
      "Iive been thinking about your question on [topic]. here's how id approach it..."
      
      turn your perceived weakness into proof that you're thoughtful and coachable.

      When it was slow to write code, it was slow to accumulate technical debt. What is it about LLMs that won't result in accumulating technical debt even faster than before?

      This Minneapolis immigrant family has a total rent need of $2100. Can you help?

      I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.
      
      Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?
