typedfemale@typedfemalean incoming professor told me she's spending her entire discretionary fund ($1.5 million) on chatgpt tokens and undergrads to feed open problems into chatgpt - she thinks this will work better than taking on grad students
@typedfemale which school? (no need to name names, but i am curious what kind of grad students she has access to) and which field?

#224Tal Linzen@TALLINZENSeems like this person doesn’t understand the job description of a professor in a research university (if that’s where they are), but also the idea that that scientific research is bottlenecked by having someone “feed open problems” to a chatbot is really funny to me
