The email is ominously titled "Final Reminder : The Importance of AI" and flagged "High Importance" when it's just an ad.

Rest of it goes on about how they got a wallstreet bro to come give a speech about "AI replacing 40% of the jobs."

Idk why a university likes AI this much either. They even overlook cheating as long as it involves AI.
Both students and graders tell each other they use it openly.

At first it felt weird I am complaining about free accounts and free speeches from investors but then it kinda clicked these are NOT free either. My tuition is paying for all of this.

Even the bus pass has a 5-day sign up process to "save money from students not using that service."

But somehow they just arbitrarily gave everyone multiple premium chatbot accounts anyways.

Am I just paying a 50% ransom to microsoft for my degree at this point?

Also the email is AI generated too. ITS FROM THE FUCKING DEAN.

CHANDLER, Arizona — This Arizona suburb sent a searing warning message to Big Tech companies after city officials on Thursday night unanimously rejected a proposed artificial intelligence data center — capping a fight that attracted powerful interests from Silicon Valley and Washington.

A lobbying push that included Microsoft and Meta and outside political pressure to approve the project, perhaps most significantly from former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, shined a spotlight on AI industry efforts to influence local decisions around development.

Brave has introduced a new AI browsing feature that leverages Leo, its privacy-respecting AI assistant, to perform automated tasks for the user.

Users points out in comments how the LLM recommends APT on Fedora which is clearly wrong. I can't tell if OP is responding with LLM as well–it would be really embarrassing if so.

PS: Debian is really cool btw :)
