@mrasd2k2 essere ricercatori non significa né essere intelligenti né persone moralmente accettabili
@informapirata @informatica certamente.
Non era un giudizio di merito o morale su alcuni individui, soltanto una constatazione della continua enshittification di una piattaforma su cui (purtroppo) alcune persone continuano a puntare.

@slashdottir exactly. She chose the correct path.

With a wasp, be aware what they are doing. They aren't buzzing towards you because they're trying to attack. They're seeking food - smells, colours, etc.
If you hit them, trap them etc they will try to defend themselves and become ready to sting, to get you to go away and leave them alone.
My dog's the same! Ignore her and she's fine, try to pet or even talk to her and she barks very loudly to say "get out of my personal space".
@happyborg
I have no any problem with dogs, they're usually friendly to me despite finding me a stranger but am still finding it hard to get along with the wasps and other stinging insects. Do you do gardening?

A few good suggestions so far, but here's more info because the questions made me realize I really didn't include enough:
I just want students to be able to watch pre-recorded lecture videos, semi-private. I don't want them to easily download videos (not sure if that's a silly ask), or easily feed videos/transcripts into gen AI. I DEFINITELY don't want them to have a built-in gen AI system that knows the video contents that they can get homework answers from.
My university uses moodle.
@sundogplanets I reckon what gets you closest is hosting the videos in your uni’s learning software, and setting them to “non-downloadable”, if the tool allows.
That’s not absolute protection against AI scraping/ usage, but it makes it harder, and maybe weeds out all but the most determined AI fans.
