In France you cannot fail a middle or high school class anymore. The official explanation is that it hurts the kids' feelings. The teachers' explanation is that too many people would fail.

It's in France and I guess everywhere else. Students can cheat for free and no longer need to do anything, why would they study anymore?

I've also seen a few young engineers using ChatGPT to do their job because it's easier than working. When I told them their code was bad (with mentoring and help, I'm not an asshole), they used another prompt that changed their whole code but it was still full of bugs.

We're doomed.

Please tell me because I have been using Windows at home and at work for more than 30 years and I still believe that most people only need Firefox and LibreOffice.

For the past whole year, yes. Hacker News is now 1/3 technology, 1/3 politics, 1/3 AI. It's annoying.

Yeah, it's very easy... as long as it's working, which it is not, at all.

And in a million years, people will still do everything possible except install Linux. Ubuntu is 20 years old and it was already a decent alternative to Windows back then. People are idiots and we shouldn't be sorry for them.

How is it in any way legal?
