Why bother selling actual fentanyl when you've got a thriving business selling fake homework help? Seems like a lot less overhead to manage.

Why bother selling actual fentanyl when you've got a thriving business selling fake homework help? Seems like a lot less overhead to manage.
- SchemaLoad 2y agoSurely LLMs put the homework help industry out of business.
- michaelbuckbee 2y agoNot joking, there's actually a lawsuit from one of the homework aid sites against Google as the AI Overviews are providing the answers that were previously been teased and upsold on their site. Left unsaid in the filing was that it seemed like _most_ of the pages on the homework site were in fact scanned from copy written textbooks and then solved and they were trying to SEO rank for _exactly_ the question in the homework.
- awesome_dude 2y agoBest "they're stealing our homework answers" lawsuit ever :)
- whaleofatw2022 2y agoProbably something about margin vs volume. One complicated transaction that could net a huge profit vs lots of smaller transactions that result in less overall profit despite same cost. He'll ive seen legit businesses get burned on the same mindset. More than once. It's just in the legal transaction space, the risk shifts more towards 'delivering a crappy product' than, say, 'your employees get arrested' when you are forced to hit a deliverable.

- zoklet-enjoyer 2y agoPeople have been down voting me for years whenever I say this. It used to be so easy to buy fentanyl, cathinones, ketamine analogs, etc from China. Maybe it still is, I don't know

- GuinansEyebrows 2y agolike Wu-Tang Financial said, you gotta diversify your bonds.
- SanjayMehta 2y agoThe two go together. Money laundering. The high margin profits from the fentanyl are laundered as proceeds from the homework business.
