Now is the best time in history to commit federal crimes. Just make sure you have an extra $2m for a pardon and you can do anything you want.

You could probably even pre-pay the bribe and avoid being charged altogether.

> Industry is full of people trying to use them to become more productive

The goal of learning is not to be as productive as possible. You need to learn the material so you can check and fix the output of an LLM.

> Why wouldn't you let students use the same tools?

Students should use those tools, after they've learned how to do it without

> Seems like you need to make the projects much harder.

The goal of a project should be to learn the material with hands on experience.

I will always be grateful to my school teachers that forced me to learn arithmetic and not rely on the calculators we all carry in our pockets.

Why are you responding with superficial takes? Are you trolling?

It's not complicated... I don't trust the judgement of someone that behaves this way. I have no idea what the contract said, or who is in the right. All I know is I'm not going to take the chance that they don't agree with the contract and now I'm litigating on Facebook....

> Not if I disagree with it and certainly not because it contains — gasp - a word for a technology I would prefer not to see discussed!

I'll stop you right there. You were downvoted because you were wrong, not because, - gasp - you used a certain word.

I'm a cryptographer. I'm not afraid of cryptocurrencies. I'm afraid of snake oil salesmen that sell things they don't understand.

> And I also refuse to be bullied into silence by some downvotes

K, well, I have no idea what this means. It's not bullying to downvote a wrong opinion.

I've been wrong lots of times. It's not a big deal...

I didn't say anything about the legality... They asked how to block email. Both of these would work.

There's no reason to respond to questions or points nobody is making.

You say that as if airing your problems on the internet is a reasonable solution for most people.

We have small claims courts in every jurisdiction in the US. It costs $50 to file, and you do not need an attorney. The courts will review the contract and generally reach a reasonable decision.

There's always a cost/benefit to things. I bet the courts have returned more money than Facebook posts have...

> 4 seconds after I posted it, it got downvoted. Then 10 seconds later, -2. Because it has the word cryptocurrency. No one can load, read and react that fast. This is getting ridiculous. Turn off the bots based on a word, and engage with the substance.

Because as soon as you said Cryptocurrency, you lost the plot.

Everything you said is literally how freelancing already works. You pay a certain amount upfront, and then pay more based on deliverables.

> Cryptocurrency is the right fit here because you want it to be tied to something the client can’t just mint unlimited amounts of

Can you tell me how to mint unlimited amounts of US Dollars? I would love this hack.

> just another use of cryptocurrency that properly aligns everyone’s incentives and prevents legal disputes through continuity instead of abruptness

How does a blockchain determine whether I built the site the owner wanted?
