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.

Where did you read that you would be learning from an LLM? All is mentioned is courses about AI, not courses BY AI.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's only a matter of time. I want nothing to do with any company that is giving so called "A.I" the time of day.

🤦🤦‍♂️

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

[–] Ugurcan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I hope Coursera arent’t planning to use Udemy’s DEEP %98 DISCOUNT coupons since I guess those won’t apply to this kind of purchase.

Has any ever done an Ai focused Udemy course yet? I feel like the level of bullshit vs substance will be intolerable. I do one or two a year, they are part of my professional development requirements at work.

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.

Can yt-dlp download Udemy courses?

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

There are pirated udemy courses on 1337x for example

Can yt-dlp download Udemy courses?

Found this, not sure if it works because I'm not enrolled in any course ATM, feel free to try it out

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago

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.
