Oof getting ChatGPT to help on a test is likely to lead to some wrong answers.

Probably mostly correct answers though...

You know what they say: C’s get degrees.

"C's get degrees, and here’s the tease: no one’s asking for transcripts, just expertise."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’ve had to provide my transcript for several job applications. Government ones seem to usually ask.

My senior dev was asked for his transcript and he's been in the field for 25+years. He told them to get in touch with his college that doesn't exist anymore. Suspect it's a standard set of forms they need to fill.

It would have to be a unicorn position to even begin to consider that.

Idk, if there is one thing it does consistently well its standardized tests.

Not that it can be used in any non mathematical class and if teachers do actually pay attention.

Cept you can’t use any wifi models on any standardized test for this reason.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's not a WiFi model, a custom module was hidden inside the calculator to provide the WiFi connection.

Ah yup should’ve read the article lol. That’s a whole lot of work and effort into cheating, which probably won’t work? Needs a whole thing to it sounds like plug into the link port? Which would stick out… so like… idk MAYBE they are stupid and don’t notice but like… I wouldn’t bet my life on that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Because the phrase "Cheaters never prosper" isn't actually true. There are many executives, politicians and rich people that very very likely "cheated" at some point along the way to get where they are, multiple times probably.

Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if such phrases were spread by the rich/ruling class/whatever as just another thing to keep people divided lol

There's a video in the article showing the whole process. The new module was completely hidden inside the calculators case and soldered to the internal connections.

Until you actually open it up, it doesn't look abnormal at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Ah, interesting. That’s quite a bit of work more than expected then lol. Link things at the top assumed it’d plug into that. Seems like a whole lot of work where if you’re into fixing shit and soldering and all that you probably don’t hate math much and thus… learning algebra 2 for a damn SAT wouldn’t be that hard?

I suppose maybe the GRE or whatever? Idk what all that entails and if they allow these.
