> We accept everyone who accepts everyone.

If we were to accept and enforce this rule, billions of followers of some major religions would not be eligible to be part of a free and open society.

Let's say sufficient instances for the student to prove his/her point - the student used "all" in the AI prompt, but really meant as many as possible from which they could pick and choose. Is it ethical or should it be viewed as cheating?

Perhaps not. But it'll probably find sufficient passages/instances that are useful.

What is the general take on the ethics of using AI as a much more powerful search engine? For example, "Find all occurences in the text where Odysseus' will is overridden by the Gods." The question is not something that would be directly set by an instructor, but might be required to substantiate an interpretation that a student is aiming for.

Finding something like this is difficult and requires reading the text closely. But with AI, you could get away by reading around the passages returned by AI.

All I see when I navigate to the page is this:

Just a blank page with "No Signals" in the center. Only when I allow stripe.com to load, do I see the webpage. I get it that stripe is required for subscription, but to prevent the site loading if stripe isn't enabled is not exactly nice I think.

Note: jquery.com, jsdeliver.net, and prismic.io allowed to load. licdn.com and stripe.com disallowed.

Is "activism" against the employer protected under anti-retaliation laws? I thought these laws protected employees for things like reporting workplace discrimination, harassment, being a witness in such an investigation, etc. Can you indulge in activism against your employer and claim that you need to be protected from retaliation if they fire you?
