@couriercalifornia: Chico State students are protesting the California State University system's decision to renew a $39 million contract with OpenAI, accusing university leaders of ignoring concerns from students and faculty.CSU renewed the agreement in May, committing $13 million annually over three years to provide ChatGPT Edu across its 22 campuses, even as the university system faces budget pressures and faculty layoffs. The protests are part of a broader movement across CSU campuses, with students and faculty raising concerns about university spending priorities, AI's environmental impact and its potential use in military and immigration enforcement.

No one felt this way about our tuition going to online school

cxlhdz :

Sac state needs to do this next 😩! Bc it’s that serious. AI is the worse thing we can have. All sudden people don’t want to use their brains and rather be controlled by the government!.

slumberspeak :

I just graduated from CSU Chico. last semester admin gave us all free subscriptions to Chatgbt, all my professors said "do not use AI" 😐

tia🐙 :

it’s so concerning the amt of people that don’t see anything wrong w ai

JonMaClain :

Use it as a reference, not to do your work. Fight for all the homelessness money being used, with no positive results. Or how about the Train to nowhere? Let's work on making real change.

Roman :

Students come and go University there to stay

ashleee :) :

juliauna🦋🤍 :

for my stats class we literally have to use chat gpt for the weekly assignment 🙃

Toochy :

trying to stop AInis like trying to stop the ocean tide. These students should spend their time on a career path that won't be replaced by AI in their lifetime.

From Chat GPT: “For context: $39 million covers THREE YEARS across the entire CSU system, including Chico, SJSU, SDSU, Cal Poly, etc. Students, professors AND staff get access. It can support research, data analysis, administrative work—even help employees build dashboards and tracking tools. Whether it’s worth the money is fair to debate, but that’s the actual scope.”

Ralph :

all dumb arguments EXCEPT the girl talking about wasted money.

ilypepper :

the kids are gonna be alright

Plagiarism is on the rise. Students are lazy. Don’t hire new grads after 2022

OC007 :

This literally looks like the crowd that goes to CSU Chico 😆

OC007 :

Notice how they have random people in there complaining about flock cameras like the university has anything to do with that 😂
