This is these guys in a nutshell. It's a shot-for-shot remake of the original trailer... except it's not even a good copy. It's not just that there is not a single original idea in there, they aren't even aware that they have taken out all the substance. (A li'l thread.)

I love how @Columbia continues to make its students & visitors jump through draconian hoops in the name of “security” but then doesn’t even care enough to enforce them. No one even tried to check my ID walking on campus so it’s obviously just a control and intimidation tactic 🙄

At this point LLMs-in-the-classroom apologists should be embarrassed. Students aren't just using this stuff as a "problem solving tool" or whatever BS people spout, they're using it to forget how to talk. Impossible to be pessimistic enough about it tbh.
