Academia has gotten so dumb and sycophantic, now even Princeton. Continue like this and the intellectual centers will be in Beijing and Moscow soon.

But of course bending over for the industry and grant money is more important.

From TFA: "The course repeatedly contradicts its own privacy and security advice."

Further:

"The course contains a serious inconsistency when it comes to data privacy and security. On the last day of the course it offers common-sense advice, stating “PROTECT your private info. Never share passwords, Social Security numbers, medical records, or confidential work data with AI tools,” later adding not to share “income data.” But some of the advice and exercises leading up to that point had already prompted users to input some of these “never share” types of data.

    On Day 3, the course urges the user to input a photo, PDF or recording of their own voice. 
    On Day 4, it says that a “power move” is for users to “give AI your own data to work with,” including instructions to “paste your resume” and “share your monthly expenses.” 
    On Day 5, the course says that a good use case for AI is putting “medical symptoms” in to learn medical terms and prepare questions for a doctor. 
    On Day 6, it tells the user to share their address to find a restaurant near them.

I guess ten minutes is the limit attention span of an average adult these days?
