c!Dream as a mythical figure, a legend, a ghost. A man so dangerous that everyone knows his name, yet so elusive that you begin to wonder if he was ever real to begin with. In the server's later days, the loneliest days, you think you can hear his footsteps on the breeze. Every shadow stops you in your tracks. It's as if the very ruins he made are whispering his name. This world is empty, and Dream is emptiness personified, come to drown you for good.

how could it have gone wrong, my approach was data-driven and trauma-informed

ive also had the experience of classmates making fun of me for actually trying in classes! it's an absurd experience to try and discuss code, or really any topic that we have to learn, even with people who are considered students who are doing well, with work experience or internships lined up, and get the response "why do you care about classes this much? I haven't done any work for this class, I just put it all in chat gpt/pulled the answers off github :)".

I anticipate that in a few years we will have another huge security crisis due to every infrastructure ever running on chat gpt code... and whoever is left that actually bothered to learn what they were meant to is going to get stuck picking up the pieces.

what drives *me* crazy (I'm in cybersecurity) is that people being educated in cyber right now don't want to learn how to code- half of the exploits we run are a result of poor coding practices, and yet the very same people who should be painfully aware of just how dangerous that can be are using chatgpt generated code. how can we expect security if the people who are meant to be "experts" are blindly relying on the black box that makes you stupid

no but legit - I don't know if it's the results of AI coming into prominence right after the pandemic which made students much more lazy, though I'm willing to bet that's partially at fault. my classmates (who are all younger than me) regularly make fun of me for actually looking up materials and doing research instead of putting it into ChatGPT to give me a summary.

and like, I get it, to an extent, that a lot of students are just hella tired and overworked. hell I am barely giving the time of the day to all the coding I should be practicing for my classes, and I've seen people get better grades on AI-generated codes than I got on stuff I actually spent time and effort on. it's infuriating how this stuff is actually Rewarded. and then encouraged by future employers by writing up job applications like 'we want people that know how to generate code in AI'

not to mention that people just... don't want to employ experts anymore. because people who know what they're doing cost more money than someone with a bachelor's degree in business that uses ChatGPT on a daily basis and can do the work way faster (and way worse, but the companies don't care) than a team of professionals

what is tragic is the progression of cdream being a happy optimistic guy who wanted a safe place for his family without any conflicts to an exhausted traumatized man haunted by ancient knowledge about life and death and who is hated by everyone, betrayed by his family
