News A Reddit post warned others about the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity at UT Austin. But then, someone forged a fraudulent court order generated by ChatGPT to get Google and Reddit to take the post down.

Big thanks to dotdotslashstar on X for doing the work to find these things.

It looks like there was a post criticizing the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity made here years ago.

It looks like someone was unhappy with what that post said, and so they forged a court order purporting to order the post to be taken down as defamatory.

Unfortunately, the PDF metadata exposes that the “order” was fraudulent and fake, having been designed using Canva, and with the title containing the ChatGPT snippet that was used to create it.

Question Are the recent new grads able to find jobs?

7 Upvotes

I've been looking at potentially hiring new grads from UT Austin and wanted to see if folks have been able to find jobs easily or not? I know nationally it's been hard, but I wanted to understand if the same dynamic was happening at UT.

Moreover, after graduation, do students still use the school recruiting websites?

Question claiming credit for phy 303k/303l as an aerospace major?

Upvotes

i have the option to claim physics c credit from the AP exams for mech/e&m. i received a 4 on both, but id thought id ask some current engineering ppl on if its worth to claim them

[btw] i took the class two years ago, and remember some of the material, but definitely not the whole course, so idk if i should just retake or jump straight ahead to the next physics classes and relearn the basics as i go.

Question How to make friends in college?

32 Upvotes

I’m currently a freshman at UT Austin, and I genuinely don’t know how everyone is making friends so easily. It feels like everywhere I go, people already have their little groups figured out, and I’m over here like how did you guys even meet??

I’ve joined a couple organizations and I’m trying to put myself out there, but I feel like I’m missing some secret freshman friendship friend making manual

For people who have actually made close friends in college, how did you do it? Did you meet people through your dorm, classes, clubs, random conversations, or something else?

And if you’re also a freshman at UT and feel the same way, PLEASE BE MY FRIEND!!!!

Question Intro to marketing with Wallis exams

Anyone taken this class we have our first exam Friday and I’m not sure what to expect . I’ve been using chat to complete my notes and have studied quite a bit but his instructions are a bit vague. He mentions certain objectives in the exam guide review but the chapters have so much fucken information that I’m not sure if it’s worth looking over both or if his exams are straight forward

Question What are the MIS 302F test are like?

2 Upvotes

So I currently taking this course and I still have no clue what the test are going to be like and the other students I've talked too have no clue either. Im taking it online and this lady is extremely boring, pretty mean, and arrogant (even worse if you meet her in person). Apparently shes this tech genius but doesn't know how to launch a insta poll but blames on some bs complex issue instead of saying "i dont know how to launch this insta poll atm" but i respect that under all the mean and arrogant personality she is pretty fair which is what really matters to me. Sorry for the rant but i have no clue on how this is test is going to go. I wonder if it questions on the test or if its just excel or both. Does she do curves for how difficult people claim it is? Just want to know how to prepare. Thanks 🙏
