—before they'll take your money.
This dance of refusal and counter-refusal, called taarof,

Content warning: excellent post from Kate Manne on LLMs in education

"Yes, It Is Our Job As Professors To Stop Our Students Using ChatGPT"
"I intend to structure assessment in my undergraduate classes so that using AI is not really an option, or hence a temptation. ...
"The “how” is fairly obvious but will involve a number of costs—and the need to figure out various logistics that are daunting at the outset. ...
"I never asked my undergraduate students to write essays for me because the product inherently mattered. It was always the process: lose that, and the exercise loses its point. We have to devise new ones."

Beyond yoga being a fad amongst UK Fash, the philosophy that gave birth to it had ideas about physical pain that are fash-adjacent. raggedfeathers.com/@lilithsain
