If you see a new youTube channel with a plain sounding name like "NatureView" or "BrightScience" etc. and there is what looks like a tempting video on a specific education topic "Most Active Volcanoes" or "Incredible Carnivorous Plants"

There is a 50/50 chance it will be a generated voice with stock footage and a script written by GPT.

I am now avoiding videos if I don't recognize the creator, or don't see signs it was made by a person.

So much spam!

@futurebird @Iamgroot11 I actually have three of them now: one for personal stuff, one for work stuff, and one for the howling nonsense that I try to keep locked down in a box so that it doesn’t escape.

I'm looking for a FUN activity, or test question about Java classes, class methods, OOP.

If you can think of something memorable you did in a class or for fun that taught you something about Java classes I'd love suggestions.

I'm finding all the examples dry and boring. "The student class is a subclass of the people class"

Any suggestions?

@futurebird With the caveat that this probably won’t actually work: a stereo system? Then they get to tangle with methods that apply to all components (play) or to just some of them (rewind, repeat) and then have arguments about how to subclass them?

(Although I think they’ll probably just stare blankly and say, “we’ll just listen to Spotify instead”)
