Coursera and Udemy bet that a combined platform will be better positioned to capture corporate demand for workforce training, particularly in artificial intelligence, data science and software development, as employers invest in reskilling workers amid rapid advances in generative AI.

    Well…fuck Udemy I guess.

    One of my old employers used to pay out small bonus incentives onto a prepaid credit card for each staff member, and I called it my “fun money” that I would invariably spend on Udemy enrolling in whatever seemed interesting to me. It was truly enjoyable and I feel like I’m a more well rounded person because of it.

    And now AI is going to fuck all of that. I want to learn from PEOPLE, not LLM’s cosplaying as A.I.

    Guess udemy was too affordable and that needed to be changed. In a sane world this would be prevented by anti trust legislation.

    just deleted my account. AI is going to burn everything down. I knew the world would be destroyed by greedy pricks but I didn’t expect them to be such losers.

        Seems old but thanks! Maybe I can adjust it to yt-dlp. Though currently away from home, I can possibly try it next week. I wouldn’t want to delete my account without downloading the courses first.
