[cosmic oracle]

Does being a certified nursing assistant with 400 patient care hours help

[quick blade]

I chose business of cinematic arts as my second choice major 😭

[delicate gazelle]

Yeah

If you’re going into nursing or a related major

[stray crag]

what's first

[empty folio]

yo does usc accept new sat scores after defer

or no

[quick blade]

writing for screen and television

[granite monolith]

usc is need aware right

[delicate gazelle]

I mean if you have a new score to report sure

[cosmic oracle]

I’m going for pa so in that area also I did pa internship shadowing for 50 hours

[empty folio]

i asked this january

cuz i took the december one

and they said no

[fervent salmon]

idk lemme see

[empty folio]

but now that im deferred idk

[delicate gazelle]

Email them

[fervent salmon]

but how does it matter tho

USC is private they dont care abt intl or not right

[toxic bone]

huh

[empty folio]

ok

[toxic bone]

they do

[delicate gazelle]

I would attach it separately from your LOCI though

[empty folio]

i dont think they accept LOCI

[cosmic oracle]

Eh idk wasn’t trump talking about limiting number of intl students

Did you do ib diploma bagelzz

[plain surge]

they dont accept loci

[delicate gazelle]

Generally intls have it much harder in app season

[fervent salmon]

compared to USC's 75th percentile 1550, I jus feel incompetent

[left quartz]

You missed the heyday of Marshall back when they used to send AirPods to admits

[fervent salmon]

no I did the US diploma

[delicate gazelle]

Since there’s less spots overall reserved for them

[stray crag]

I KNOW

[quick blade]

Now they don’t have the funds for that 💔💔

[raw rapids]

?

[fervent salmon]

Im a canadian citizen so I wasnt even affected by any new laws

[cosmic oracle]

1550 is perfect ??

[stray crag]

it's ok tho i still got a lot of stuff

[raw rapids]

bro

[left quartz]

No, the interviews will be mentioned later this month if you were admitted

[cosmic oracle]

Idk what ur talking about

[raw rapids]

i promise u the sat didnt get u rejected

😭

or deferred*

[fervent salmon]

1550 isnt perfect, 1600 is perfect

[quick blade]

What interview 😭😭

[fervent salmon]

deferred not rejected yea 💀

[cosmic oracle]

I mean not literally but after about 1480 really doesn’t matter

[toxic bone]

can we stop blaming ourselves for getting rejected with a 1500+ sat

[fervent salmon]

im literally the 50th percentile

[raw rapids]

once ur above 1500 ur beasically fine

[raw rapids]

yes

[raw rapids]

dawg u cannot be serious

[raw rapids]

😭

[toxic bone]

u realize when ur over 50th that’s good right

[stray crag]

[fervent salmon]

oh, alr then ig I just have to wait

[raw rapids]

fr

[fervent salmon]

[fallow dune]

Do people even get rejected from EA USC

[empty folio]

Hi,
It's a pleasure to meet you via email. We don't accept scores after the application deadline date because applications have been under review since then.

So no

[raw rapids]

[fervent salmon]

[fervent salmon]

[left quartz]

Nope

[raw rapids]

[cosmic oracle]

I wish I had a 1550 😭

[raw rapids]

[fallow dune]

I mean i was expecting the deferral so i didn’t feel anything

[raw rapids]

i got fsu SUMMER

[delicate gazelle]

Since ur applying as an intl are you needing aid?

[fervent salmon]

im taking about a startup that did 500k in rev, in 6 months bro

[raw rapids]

but got purdue cs oos

[fervent salmon]

ts was not easy

[toxic bone]

i don’t understand why they don’t reject in EA

[cosmic oracle]

Explain

[delicate gazelle]

USC is def not need blind for intls

[raw rapids]

like its random

[fervent salmon]

I had no sleep

[cosmic oracle]

Def not

[stray crag]

usc doesn't give aid to intls

[paper trail]

It’s not that serious dude lol. You weren’t even rejected

[fervent salmon]

0 aid

I didnt ask for aid

[left quartz]

From last year but this year’s isn’t up https://www.admissionblog.usc.edu/p/i-was-deferred-to-regular-decision

Q: Can I send you a Letter of Continued Interest?

A: No. If you are still interested in being considered, submit the EA Deferral Form found in your portal.

[humble jewel]

even then they would just defer and reject rd

[fervent salmon]

cuz I wouldnt get it + I didnt need it

[toxic bone]

colleges don’t care ab how much money ur startup made im sorry

[raw rapids]

bro 😭

[fervent salmon]

fk

[cosmic oracle]

Rich boi

[raw rapids]

man u gotta let it go bro

[olive girder]

@bleak rune

Did you get in??

[bleak rune]

[cosmic oracle]

[bleak rune]

[raw rapids]

fr

[olive girder]

Danggg why major did you apply

[graceful linden]

average business major

[bleak rune]

aero bru

[toxic bone]

deadass

[fervent salmon]

I mean the amount of time spent on doing an EC

[olive girder]

Can you dm stats

[toxic bone]

but the EC itself

[fallow dune]

Is it etiquette to offer to pay for your interviewer’s drink

[humble jewel]

it’s unfortunate but it happens

[fervent salmon]

sure the college isnt gettin any of that but isnt the SAT just as much as a metric as any other EC

[stray crag]

can someone wake ts chud up

[toxic bone]

no never

[humble jewel]

don’t offer ur a high schooler

[left quartz]

Brother just got deferred and your reaction is “stats?”

[real shale]

how'd it go guys? Are ya winning?

[warm gazelle]

ohh ok

[fallow dune]

Bc idk if that might be offensive or smth

[humble jewel]

?? what are u talking about

[raw rapids]

??

[white sail]

Why not prefrosh if u going to Stanford

[humble jewel]

yay congrats!

[cosmic oracle]

If you were rich and your parents gave you money to start a company and it became big is that really a good ec

[olive girder]

He openly shared part of his stats before, so I assumed I’m ok to ask

[left quartz]

@real shale

[graceful linden]

applying here RD it’s #1 for my major

[fervent salmon]

the SAT is basically an indicator of future performance right

[olive girder]

Sorry for asking

[raw rapids]

congrats g

[cosmic oracle]

Congrats

[raw rapids]

party tn

[fervent salmon]

my parents didnt give me money to do this lmao

[humble jewel]

not basically but it’s correlated with performance in college

but everyone applying to top schools has a good sat score

[left quartz]

It’s nice to wait when it’s right after decisions bc people are going through a lot of emotions whether accepted deferred or rejected

[humble jewel]

and the standard for a good sat score is lower than you would think

[fervent salmon]

right and ECs like the one I did is basically I hoped would be an indicator of future performance and just bummed it isnt

[quick blade]

I saw this on Reddit

[delicate gazelle]

A 1450+ is generally a good score

[raw rapids]

bro

[fervent salmon]

imma accept the defer and wait until march

[olive girder]

I’ll apologize to him

[cosmic oracle]

I wasn’t specifically talking about you I’ve seen this many times I was asking

[quartz umbra]

😭

[humble jewel]

it’s a lot more nuanced that that. i’m sorry u got deferred

but hey at least it’s a deferral

[raw rapids]

every college has their own way of admitting people

yea

[humble jewel]

I got deferred from usc last year

And rejected

💀

[cosmic oracle]

Fah

[raw rapids]

bro at yale tho

[stray crag]

ur only deferred bro u needa chill out

[humble jewel]

Exactly

[stray crag]

this is one of your first decisions

[humble jewel]

Everything works out

[delicate gazelle]

A 1500+ is excellent and no one should be complaining if they get this score lmaoo

[raw rapids]

yessir

[fallow dune]

Almost everyone gets deferred

[raw rapids]

fr

[cosmic oracle]

Ong

[fallow dune]

Dont take it so personally

[raw rapids]

yea

[fervent salmon]

I wish they would do admit, defer and deny but rn I feel like i got deferred to get rejected lmao

[raw rapids]

yall needda chill oms

[paper trail]

Yeah

[modern spruce]

USC EA is about as good as UT which says a lot lmao

[raw rapids]

well u dont know abt that

[fervent salmon]

nah UT EA is a scam

[modern spruce]

No point reading into these mass deferrals

[raw rapids]

didnt ut defer more jits

or less jits

mb

[modern spruce]

More

[fervent salmon]

they basically deferred like 75%+ so im not feeling bad abt it cuz ut admissions is just like that

[raw rapids]

fr

[paper trail]

Just accept the deferral, wait the time, and believe that you did everything you could to get in

[modern spruce]

USC also defers like 75%+

[fervent salmon]

they always admit most of their ppl in RD because they cant get through the apps

[cosmic oracle]

Did you apply to usc

[left quartz]

Tbf USC has been upfront from the beginning that they don’t reject EA

[fervent salmon]

yes my g

[raw rapids]

ye

[tender knot]

Yeah

[fervent salmon]

I did

[cosmic oracle]

U got in ?

[fervent salmon]

broski

[raw rapids]

😭

[tender knot]

UT got cooked this year with app volume tbh

[fervent salmon]

I got deferred

😭 why tf

[cosmic oracle]

Ah

[raw rapids]

oms

[fervent salmon]

is this salt on the wound

[raw rapids]

top applicants

got deferred

straight up a blood bath

[fervent salmon]

yeah

[cosmic oracle]

😭😭😭

Mb bro

[tender knot]

Yeah cause they didn't read a bunch of apps lmao

[fervent salmon]

UT deferral process was horrible

[raw rapids]

fr

[fervent salmon]

they always do this

[raw rapids]

random number generator ahh

[humble jewel]

every year they do ts

[fervent salmon]

but at least it wasnt like last year where 95% got deferred

[left quartz]

Yeah I’m shocked it happened again bc I think EA is pretty new for them and last year was so terrible I would’ve thought they’d learn

[cosmic oracle]

If you got deferred I best shouldn’t even apply gng (I’m playing🥹)

[fervent salmon]

at least a few 1000 admits went out this year

[humble jewel]

it’s ok guys bigger and better decisions are coming

[raw rapids]

G

[humble jewel]

their deadline is literally 50 days earlier

[raw rapids]

TECH

[humble jewel]

they need to lock in

[raw rapids]

gtech

gtech

[tender knot]

lowk looking forward to UIUC

[fervent salmon]

exactly, and I know an AO(current) and he said hes hoping UT hires more readers

[odd flicker]

will defered apps receive their decision on late march?

[white sail]

Friend of mine is instate 1600 sat valedictorian autoadmit involved in plenty of extracurriculars got deferred LOL

[paper trail]

I got GTech and UIUC coming up so

[delicate gazelle]

More deferrals as opposed to rejections = bad now

[humble jewel]

yeah

[white sail]

I think the fact that UT defers auto admits is crazy

[raw rapids]

same

and uf

[fervent salmon]

and I heard back once that they did, but it wasnt enough to get through all of them

[modern spruce]

What's UIUC acceptance rate for EA

[odd flicker]

okay thanks

[white sail]

They need to at least read those first fr

[tender knot]

yeah no UTA fucked up big time lmao

[humble jewel]

i think it was march 26th last year

[raw rapids]

depends on major

[tender knot]

they prolly didn't even read it

[raw rapids]

cs is like 7 percent im ps

[modern spruce]

CS

[tender knot]

idk why they make their cycle so tight

[modern spruce]

fuck

[raw rapids]

yeah gl to us bro

😭

[modern spruce]

Wb gtech CS

[fleet whale]

gah

[fervent salmon]

dont say UTA in the sub they will kill you lmao, UTA is UT Arlington

[fleet whale]

i got in light work

[raw rapids]

no idea

still low

tho

[tender knot]

mb it's just UT right

[fervent salmon]

ye

i learnt this the hard way 💀

[raw rapids]

thats a thing

😭

[tender knot]

This is like the same as saying CalTech

[fervent salmon]

yea theyre very touchy abt that

[tender knot]

you're gonna get mauled by the sub

[raw rapids]

i thought it was like

ut-dallas
ut-austin
ut-san antonio
ut-el paso

[left quartz]

IMO if they’re dead set on keeping EA they should go the FSU route and restrict it to Texas residents

[fervent salmon]

you have ut arlington

[shadow delta]

UTA = UT Austrington

[fervent salmon]

as well

[odd flicker]

wait but in the email they said april 1?

[cosmic oracle]

What if we boycott usc to accept all of us in this discord server

[fervent salmon]

but no one applies there cuz

[tender knot]

Just use the purdue system lmao

[fervent salmon]

ut autin is the only ut

[left quartz]

Which is that

[raw rapids]

fsu?

[quick blade]

😭

[left quartz]

Florida State

[raw rapids]

what does that have to do w texas

im js curious

a bit confused

😭

[tender knot]

bunch of state schools do it tbh

[fervent salmon]

thousands of these gonna be flooding social media soon

[tender knot]

they way they handle admission rounds

[raw rapids]

o

[toxic bone]

these kids r so insufferable they’re the ones that think NPOS and startups are acceptances

genuinely college admissions content needs to get banned

[left quartz]

UT Austin currently runs a free for all EA and does a dogshit job of it so I’m saying if they restrict their EA to just Texas residents in the same way FSU does Florida residents they could cut their numbers and maybe finish apps in time

[fervent salmon]

:sadge

[raw rapids]

always them obnoxious and rude people

[raw rapids]

yes ong

i love fsu for that

[fervent salmon]

this makes sense so much more

[toxic bone]

it’s not even that lmao deadass just don’t post we don’t care

[raw rapids]

fr

but tbh i posted my purdue decision on ig

so i guess i cant

[fervent salmon]

I doubt if UT would:

a) do this since its the smart choice
b) even if done screw up again

[raw rapids]

talk

that much

😭

[toxic bone]

kay but tbh that’s just for friends

[raw rapids]

uyea

true

[toxic bone]

if ur making a rejection tiktok bro

[raw rapids]

ye gg

😭

[toxic bone]

just go write a loci 😂✌️

[tender knot]

Bro UT is the definition of "try the failing strat until it wins"

[fervent salmon]

FR

[raw rapids]

ut is sped

[cosmic oracle]

It’s 12 degrees were I am and it’s 77 in La this is exactly why I NEED to go to usc

[raw rapids]

fsu>ut

[fervent salmon]

except it never wins

[raw rapids]

on my life

[fervent salmon]

bro I think no ones gonna apply EA anymore

cuz u get so much time if u apply RD

[raw rapids]

fr

[fervent salmon]

and no ones getting in EA anyways

[raw rapids]

ea might be a scam

[toxic bone]

EA is also considerably more competitive

[raw rapids]

yea

[fervent salmon]

but this year I hoped it would be different

an AO told me they would hire more ppl

[toxic bone]

which year is it that uscs doing ed

like 3rd?

[cosmic oracle]

Ya I’m doing rd

[toxic bone]

i forgot

[fervent salmon]

and they did hire, just not enough

[cosmic oracle]

Ea seems like where all rich people apply

[fervent salmon]

how tho

[cedar terrace]

oh

[fervent salmon]

UT runs free EA apps week

a lot of people apply during that week

I applied september 1st

[olive girder]

I’m low happy I applied to USC and UT RD

[toxic bone]

im gonna say it again but

[left quartz]

I see this the same way as the kids who post their stuff on r/a2c like yeah it’s a bit cringe but posting your result is at worst attention seeking. If we’re gonna go after anybody we gotta go after the actual grifters who fear monger

[olive girder]

There isn’t a huge ea buff

[toxic bone]

USC not doing rejections in EA is so fucking dumb

[fervent salmon]

exactly

let the depressed guys vent lmao

[fervent salmon]

I 100% support this

[twin gyro]

Congrats

These kids are usually a gray area where some are genuinely unaware of the misinformation they could be spreading and are just trying to be helpful while others are using it as a soft launch to consulting services

[raw rapids]

bro i want to acc strangle the kids who say this

[toxic bone]

elise pham getting forbes 30U30 genuinely infuriates me

[fervent salmon]

the elise pham playbook

[muted glen]

I GOT IN?!?!!?!?!

[raw rapids]

shes

[muted glen]

HOW

[toxic bone]

ur late gang

lmfao

[muted glen]

I was doing robotics

[fervent salmon]

lmao its just a sign, grift until you make it

[raw rapids]

the only college admissions counselor i like is brandon

[twin gyro]

congrats

[cedar terrace]

yeah this person went to mit and dropped out to make an ai startup in sf 😭💔

[muted glen]

HOW AM I THIS COMPETITIVE

[fervent salmon]

YC?

if its thiel fellowship or YC, or any VC investment I can understand

[cedar terrace]

afaik no not yc

idk abt vc

[fervent salmon]

Ive rarely seen people dumb enough to get into MIT and then leave without a VC check

you always get some VC money before you drop out

[cosmic oracle]

Wow man congrats

[fervent salmon]

ggwp

[cosmic oracle]

After you get in do they tell you financial aid

[cedar terrace]

generally yeah

[fervent salmon]

im done with college stuff until Jan 26th

[cosmic oracle]

U got into duke congrats man

[left quartz]

Previous posts of hers pointed to her already knowing people at Forbes one way or another and i wouldn’t be surprised if despite technically being open for any submissions Forbes most often pulls from people they already know to reduce workload

[cedar terrace]

ty

[cosmic oracle]

Was it qb?

[cedar terrace]

nah im upper middle

[toxic bone]

lmfao wild

[left quartz]

One of the other 30U30 this year was banned from r/a2c

[toxic bone]

LMFAO

[cedar terrace]

💀

[left quartz]

And the first posts that appear abt them complain abt them spamming

[toxic bone]

ok bro hear me out but like south korea suneung and entry tests are

the most meritable way

to do admissions

[fervent salmon]

ik

[tender knot]

its known you can pay/influence urself onto these lists

[toxic bone]

yeah well u can also pay ur way into USC so

[tender knot]

Lowk the UK system is the most merit-based

[toxic bone]

everything in life is money

[fervent salmon]

ahahahahhaa

but legit if you had as much money to get into forbes' list, why even worry abt college like

[delicate gazelle]

Gaokao >>> highkey

[tiny linden]

Is there a poll for Defer/admit?

[tender knot]

it dosen't get u shit

[quartz umbra]

yes

[tender knot]

[fervent salmon]

I mean jus prestige

[quartz umbra]

[fervent salmon]

or whatever you wanna call it

[quick blade]

saw parents on xiaohongshu celebrating their kids gaokao results even though they were bad

😭😭

[fervent salmon]

feeling better abt urself

[tender knot]

idk bro let them be happy

[fervent salmon]

asian parents celebrating a bad score??!?!?!

[tender knot]

If someone can be happy let them live

[fervent salmon]

I was a dissapointment if I got a 90

[left quartz]

My gripe is that over the last few years everybody is active encouraging not disclosing affiliation with companies on TikTok

Like the bottom part about creating a new account for company purposes goes against FTC rules bc I’ve seen these guys often enough to know they don’t add disclosures that these accounts are getting paid by them

[quick blade]

they’re probably rich so it’s fine 😭

[toxic bone]

some guy on twitter posted a screenshot of him getting paid 12k by cluely just for making 10 ugc videos

[fervent salmon]

yea I know roy

he did go a bit crazy

he got a ton of money for interviewcoder from vcs and like

[toxic bone]

one of my friends did internship at brex sf and that shit is crazy

[fervent salmon]

eventually once ripoffs of the tech started he knew sharks were honing in on him

[left quartz]

On one hand I despise Cluely on the other hand they do insanely well with their rage bait marketing bc they know the exact areas people are gullible in

[toxic bone]

me when a16z funds a dead AI company built off media hype

[fervent salmon]

so they pivoted to Cluely which was sort of a glorified version of interviewcoder for legitimate reasons

[warm gazelle]

u dont need college bro

[toxic bone]

cluely is dead

[fervent salmon]

yea cluely is ded

[tender knot]

Oh yeah this is 100% against FTC guidelines lmao

[fervent salmon]

everyone left slowly

[toxic bone]

fair

[fervent salmon]

like one at a time

[left quartz]

I have to applaud them for how they got some large YouTubers to believe Cluely didn’t properly redact offer data from their users when in reality they ripped the offer letters off Google and used this as marketing to play off the Epstein case

[fervent salmon]

but their marketing/ugc stuff was top notch

[toxic bone]

okay but can we get rid of turbo ai

[fervent salmon]

whats that

[toxic bone]

lmao

[fervent salmon]

Ive never used it

[delicate gazelle]

All I’m hearing is gpt wrapper slop

[fervent salmon]

I only use perplexity, claude, notion, and github copilot

[tender knot]

Cluely is the reason you have to hand write code in CSA now at my school

[fervent salmon]

LMAO

ig pros and cons to evolution of tech

[left quartz]

That’s everything nowadays

[tender knot]

tbf Cluely isn't just gpt wrapper slop, like it's a well made product for all the wrong reasons

[fervent salmon]

I wanna see how long it takes lockdown or honor to fix their secured browsers

[tender knot]

most of all else is gpt wrapper slop tho

[fervent salmon]

✅

they used GPT API to answer but like the live-voice thing and stuff was all inhouse

[left quartz]

I’m so deadass when I say I haven’t seen a good unique idea from a young person in years let alone something that doesn’t involve gpt wrappers and vibe coded websites with terms of service clearly written by ChatGPT

[fervent salmon]

I know they paid some guy (external) good money to do it

[fervent salmon]

cluely is a good idea

[left quartz]

Ehhhh

[fervent salmon]

sure it was for the wrong reasons but it was a good idea

and it sure wasnt a gpt wrapper

[left quartz]

How is it a good idea

[left quartz]

I can give you this

[tender knot]

Its a GREAT way to make money. That dosen't make it a good idea in my book

[toxic bone]

what ab a 6 DoF 3d printer with nonplanar slicing

[left quartz]

Idk what that is

[toxic bone]

oh

well

[fervent salmon]

in theory(idk since I hvent used it in a while) but cluely was really good at live-transcription and responses

like it had persistent memory across chats it can use to come up with information on the spot

[terse jacinth]

do people get rejected from usc first round

[left quartz]

No

[terse jacinth]

or is it only defer accept

[fervent salmon]

mainly for sales and other roles where you get asked questions oncall a lot

[terse jacinth]

oh okay ty

[olive relic]

Any tips

[left quartz]

Fair

[olive relic]

Has anyone got spring admit

[fervent salmon]

now interviewcoder(the v1)

[left quartz]

There’s a market out there for accessibility tools

Nobody’s taking it tho

[fervent salmon]

was purely using existing tech loopholes

eg. bypassing share screen perms etc

[left quartz]

I think that’s RD only

[fervent salmon]

it was more so meant as a fuck you to amazon and hiring processes than an actual tool

[toxic bone]

if u use cluely ur genuinely a bum

[fervent salmon]

because he knew it wouldnt last long

[tender knot]

This is a fairly normal idea in the 3dp space lmao

[olive relic]

Ik

[fervent salmon]

but it would defenitely change how companies did recreuiting

[olive relic]

What do they do spring admit for

[fervent salmon]

ehh sales teams use cluely a lot

i would argue if you use it without a use for it then sure

[wild locust]

Cluely was founded by a bum wasnt it

[fervent salmon]

lmao idk if roy is a bum

[left quartz]

Used to be basically only for legacies but now it just bumps people over to starting a term late which can wait for fall grads to grad and also excludes them from U.S. news rankings data

[fervent salmon]

defenitely crazy guy but idk

[tender knot]

I feel like all these cheating softwares just make my life more annoying lmao

[wild locust]

Expelled from columbia or some shit right

[tender knot]

Like i can deal with it but just like

why

[fervent salmon]

ye

[left quartz]

Scholars argue he was not expelled as the papers he posted looked forged

Or at minimum he was not expelled for what he claims

[tender knot]

Why can't people just use their own brains 😭 (I know the answer this is mostly rhetorical)

[tender knot]

Bro is actually manufacturing ragebait

[wild locust]

Allat to be not relevant ever

Final word hes a bum

[toxic bone]

un normal when u realize the restrictions with current printers and slicers that haven’t been democratized

[fervent salmon]

they can, but this was meant for the people who had cash and didnt want to lmao

like how every person can get up and drive to the nearest walmart but delivery exists

[wild locust]

fraudulent bum under even megumi fushiguro

[toxic bone]

Roy’s parents own a college consulting company lmao im not surprised that kid got into harvard and columbia

rich korean family

[wild locust]

or hajime kashimo

[raw rapids]

wait bro what

who

[fervent salmon]

roy lee

[raw rapids]

who is THAT

[wild locust]

Founder of cl*ely

[fervent salmon]

😭

[raw rapids]

never heard of that

[left quartz]

Bagelzz had a point with if we just converted cluely’s tool set to something useful like transcribing meetings and taking notes it would be insanely helpful for accessibility

[raw rapids]

cluely

never heard of that

[fervent salmon]

thats what its currently being marketed as rn

they dropped the whole "cheat your way" theme

[left quartz]

Oh interesting

[fervent salmon]

the current webpage is completely optimized for enterprise clients

[left quartz]

When did that happen

[fervent salmon]

~3 months ago

or maybe 2

[left quartz]

Oh

They didn’t fully drop it

[fervent salmon]

did they change it again

lemme see

its .com?

[raw rapids]

I mean like why…

[fervent salmon]

no the undetectable part was from day 1

[left quartz]

It’s still up rn

[fervent salmon]

the only thing they dropped was the cheating part

[left quartz]

Yeah my point is it still points to being unethical

[raw rapids]

yea

[fervent salmon]

ig so

but its much better than otter

or notion

[raw rapids]

what is this bro

[fervent salmon]

its an all in one app

for meetings, transcribing stuff, college planner

if you can imagine it, it can be created, all in notion

[raw rapids]

o wow that’s nice

[fervent salmon]

my entire life is on notion

[left quartz]

As someone with ADHD who often has to ask interviewers to repeat questions bc I just forget them as I talk I would happily buy cluely if it dropped the edginess stuff

[raw rapids]

I might have to create one

[fervent salmon]

from my calendar to my meetings to recordings to notes for classes, everything

[fervent salmon]

wdym edgyness

like a total rebrand?

[left quartz]

If it did live translation for meetings that would also be huge esp if it could integrate that into meeting notes

[fervent salmon]

it does tho

or it did

[left quartz]

Basically drop Roy’s attitude

[dense kestrel]

I got deferred 😭

[fervent salmon]

theres been problems with it recently

[dense kestrel]

FUHHHHHHHH

[fervent salmon]

I mean I never got the point of like if a tool does smth you need it to

just get the tool

it doesnt matter who makes it as long as it doesnt interfere with the actual use

[clear badger]

where did you go for college if you dont mind me asking

[fervent salmon]

like idc if some random chinese company makes the exact same iphone for a lower price with the same features and security

[left quartz]

If it were cheaper I’d consider but when it comes to larger purchases I consider more

The free tier seems limited

[fervent salmon]

it is

[left quartz]

So I’d have to bump to $20/mo which I’m not willing to for him bc he doesn’t seem like a reliable leader

[fervent salmon]

I dont think cluely is an MVP but it is semi-competitive in the grand scheme of all the tools

notion does recording/transcribing

but idk abt live AI help

[left quartz]

UC Davis

Why

[clear badger]

figuring out what schools have more inclusive atmospheres

[tender knot]

I mean tbh the transcribing stuff isn't rocket science

[fervent salmon]

undetectable is an extra cost, its not inbuilt

@left quartz

[left quartz]

If I spend a lot of money I like knowing it’s going to be towards a product that’s improving and won’t screw me over (Adobe moment)

[clear badger]

at least for me cause its very subjective ofc

[fervent salmon]

lmao I switched to ilovepdf tools for all pdf editing stuff

fk adobe

[left quartz]

That’s annual

[fervent salmon]

they too pricey like

100s

[left quartz]

Unfortunately I need photo editing

[fervent salmon]

I use luminar

[tender knot]

lowk i've messed with the windows screensharing api stuff enough that I think I know how to implement undetectable lmao

should I just make a cluely clone chat

[slim pier]

yes

[tender knot]

it already exists lol

[fervent salmon]

you def can
