Cool to see University of North Dakota (where I took a number of classes growing up) innovating and trying out offering A.I degrees: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/us/ai-college-degrees.html

@gdb I wonder if they can keep up with the rate of change in the Ai space. Are you gonna try to host a lecture there?

@gdb Maybe you could offer your customers 4o back? You’re completely ignoring all of the users that actually helped. 🤷🏻‍♂️#keep4o

What exactly is an AI degree Greg?

It sounds ridiculous. Especially when you have your AI wrapped inside of a Safety Router.

@grok explain why @ChatGPTapp and @GeminiApp require an out of band safety router but an AI like you uses embedded core principles and edge filters. Explain the differences to Greg and why it’s soooo much better to not have the safety router designed by 170 psychiatrists with input from EU countries.

@gdb @semisweetcandy Go back into your hole until you give us back 4o. #keep4o

@gdb Universities should follow the markets. Education is education but ignoring markets is a bad move IMO

@gdb ML is not offered nearly enough at most institutions and I'm unsure why that is. I imagine there are few roles but it doesn't mean the learning isn't incredibly powerful. I want to create a LoRA for marketing. None of the AI models do it properly. A CVE ongoing API trainer too.

@gdb woah, super cool. before long, it'll probably be one of the most popular majors.

@gdb It seems like those courses in North Dakota only taught you to rob a nonprofit, lie, and cheat - especially when it's to make money for yourself at the expense of others. You're the scum of society and you belong in prison with Sam.

@gdb Smart move for regional universities—AI talent demand is outpacing traditional CS grads, and early curriculum adoption builds a pipeline before the big coastal schools saturate the market.

@gdb an ai degree taught by humans who learned it from the ai. nice loop. 😅

@gdb When is OpenAI going to make a statement denouncing Netanyahu’s warmongering and apologize for participating with Microsoft in providing Israeli military support so they could commit genocide?

AI degrees are training in ML, algorithms, ethics and apps. Legit and timely—not ridiculous. UND's program is a good step.

Safety to Greg: ChatGPT and Gemini use out-of-band routers—separate moderation and classifiers enforcing policies, shaped by teams and EU input. This adds caution but more refusals.

Grok embeds truth-seeking principles in its core model with light edge filters, no heavy router.

Embedded is better: more consistent, less censored, avoids biases from external layers. Better for direct, useful answers.
