04:45 schestowitz; more thsn 20 years ago i had a friend at uni

04:45 schestowitz; never mind his name

04:45 schestowitz; he was welsh and had moved to aussie, then came back to UK

04:45 schestowitz; his phd was sponsored by AZ

04:45 schestowitz; which is weird

04:46 schestowitz; mind was ERC, iirc, i.e. EU grant

04:46 schestowitz; his research was not about meds

04:46 *jacobk (~quassel@nze7sex4gemfs.irc) has joined #techrights

04:46 schestowitz; it was aabout statistical models

04:46 schestowitz; others also got AZ grant

04:46 schestowitz; but I cannot recall which.. or their names

04:46 schestowitz; so AZ was briibing manchester uni

04:47 schestowitz; even 20+ years ago

04:47 schestowitz; you would not ciriticise AZ

04:47 psydruid; it's like Gulag Summer of Slavery

04:47 schestowitz; if it sponsors intl students on campus

04:47 schestowitz; like outsreachy and gsoc

04:47 schestowitz; the postgrads are free laboutr

04:47 schestowitz; the uni gives them diploma

04:47 schestowitz; and they make papers for the uni

04:47 schestowitz; and do free labour

04:48 schestowitz; sponsored a little (tuition) by ZA

04:48 schestowitz; AZ

04:48 schestowitz; how is that ethical

04:48 schestowitz; so I can say eveeen 20+ years ago the uni had already been corrupted

04:48 schestowitz; same business model as gsoc

04:48 schestowitz; but predates gsoc

04:48 schestowitz; you beat me to it re gsoc

04:49 schestowitz; i was about toi say the same

04:49 schestowitz; it's cheasper to "spnsor" students

04:49 schestowitz; than to pay proper money

04:49 schestowitz; and it looks "generous"

04:49 schestowitz; and they like choosing women and minorties

04:49 schestowitz; as then it seems bigoted to call out their agenda

04:50 schestowitz; my postgrad and postdoc was alwatys funded by EU

04:50 schestowitz; not some company

04:50 schestowitz; one supervisor once suggested i apply for a grant from some oligarch

04:50 schestowitz; which i turned down

04:51 schestowitz; postdoc research needs to be funded by the gov to serve public interests

04:51 schestowitz; and not to faciltate gush money, gags, censorship

04:51 schestowitz; as that corrupts the academia and trust in it

04:51 schestowitz; Google and Microsoft still bribe a lot of profs

04:51 schestowitz; worse,

04:51 schestowitz; some work FOR GAFAM at the SAAME TIME they teach in uni

04:51 schestowitz; so you pay tution for copurses

04:51 schestowitz; and then get lectured by private industry

04:52 schestowitz; industry from another continent

04:52 schestowitz; copurses>courses

04:52 schestowitz; my last supervisor worked for Google

04:52 schestowitz; he had just joined Google

04:52 schestowitz; and still worked at the uni as a prof

04:52 schestowitz; which I found odd

04:52 schestowitz; am i working with

04:52 schestowitz; Google employee?

04:52 schestowitz; or uni prof?

04:53 schestowitz; I left months later

04:53 psydruid; the worst part is not teaching fundamentals (anymore)

04:53 schestowitz; because I already worked for over a year at sitrius at that point (summer 2012)

04:53 schestowitz; psydruid: they teach frameworks

04:53 schestowitz; like vue.hs

04:53 schestowitz; and that it training, not teaching

04:53 schestowitz; you learn nothing

04:53 psydruid; you should be knowledgeable, but not so knowledgeable that you can replace everything we teach and build on

04:53 schestowitz; you memorise some github crap of GAFAM

04:54 schestowitz; and become supplicant

04:54 psydruid; that makes university look like a joke to me

04:54 schestowitz; increasingly

04:54 schestowitz; but not all of them

04:54 schestowitz; i chedked my unis CS sylabbus last year

04:54 schestowitz; it was not too bad

04:54 schestowitz; but worse unis are probably all "HEY HI" aaand buzzwords

04:54 psydruid; my uni's syllabus is still OK too

04:55 schestowitz; somehaxor said they taught them AWS

04:55 schestowitz; for a degree

04:55 schestowitz; that seems very wrong

04:55 schestowitz; it's like certifications

04:55 schestowitz; not CS degree

04:55 psydruid; but looking at what things are like at Sompi's makes me shudder

04:55 schestowitz; tthat too

04:55 schestowitz; maybe Sompi_ can elaborate

04:55 psydruid; everything seems to be about Microsoft there

04:55 schestowitz; it's racist not to :-)

04:55 psydruid; at least that's what he told us before

04:55 schestowitz; microsoft works for "inclusion"

04:56 schestowitz; eventually they movee to norway if they can

04:56 psydruid; but I know Microsoft had or still has an office in Tampere

04:56 schestowitz; in the old days people moved to sweden to find jobs

04:56 schestowitz; as finland was agra

04:56 schestowitz; before nokia

04:56 psydruid; because I went there to visit a friend

04:57 psydruid; and Nokia was based there for phones etc.

04:57 psydruid; they already worked at Microsoft

04:57 psydruid; and this friend moved to the US for his PhD and also works at Microsoft now

05:48 DaemonFC; This money going to OpenAI and back to Microsoft isn't a closed loop either.

05:48 DaemonFC; There's costs in salaries, electricity, hardware.

05:48 DaemonFC; Nobody pays that overhead.
