is there a way to use it that prevents "tell me the answer", if not that is what enough students will gravitate towards that it will be harmful to society at large. If there is an agent that only works as an infinitely patient tutor, that will under no circumstance do the work for you, then sure. Just have expereience educators dictate the way the agent works and is used, not some marketing dweeb or MBAsshole.

If the Agent is designed for that type of interaction and not "do it for me so i don't have to know the details" then yes, but currently that is not supported so teenagers and children will absolutely use it as a "don't make me think" button

You still have to double check the Agent's grading as they still make frequent minor mistakes, that while they don't really impact coding as much or can be caught with tests, that is not the case here.

using AI to tell you the answer means you don't actually know or understand the answer. You know the entire point of education

that is an absolutely repugnant take from anyone at Google (I will not attribute this to a legal entity that cannot think, a human being made this call and is accountable for it). They are not educators and should have absolutely zero say in how schools do things.

Its also an approach backed up by research and studdies. I still cannot believe there are people in education that can maintain that humans under 25 arent done neurologically developing ans have issues managing distractions and that tech in the classroom is a good idea (outside of classes deliberately teaching technology)

I'll bet the person protesting would be of the opinion that it should be delivered by a person regardless of what it was.

Regardless there is a stark difference between medication, which is necessary, and hot prepared meals, which are a luxury.

Heres what you should do to be safe. On the user's settings/profile/whatever user page you have, add a cancel button. When the user clicks it say "are you sure? Yes/no". If the user clicks yes, cancel the account.

No extra hoops at all.

Im one of the more mid to resistant folks and this has never been just a job to me. I did take immense satisfaction from learning, deeply understanding how things work and the consist and repeatable behavior, which is just not there with ai. Especially the consist/repeatable behavior, which to me computers that behave inconsistently aren't nearly as worthwhile.

I love how some people think the scale of a problem doesnt matter. Like yeah we has data brokerw 50 years ago, way less of them and the scope they could collect data about was significantly more limited. That matters a lot

Its going to be an uphill battle. Every story about job losses, consequences to the community from building a datacenter (real or perceived), eminent domain case that blows up, plus all the slop on every platform. Not to mention a lot of normies think techbros are obnoxious, and that is who is hyping ai.

They'll need to show their goal is to help humanity and that all the other peoole arent acceptable collateral damage. Since those other people get to vote.

When did the love of learning disappear from this field? I remember when everyone i talked to was learning something new just to better themselves?

I swap between kindle and audible daily. The syncing is generally good, byt i have had issues with some books.

This alone has caused my reading to skyrocket. I swear i do 1-2 books a week this way

They wont feel good if the product they pay for doesnt work

Then go broad. It being slightly challenging to legislation and hold people accountable as soon as the model does something.

Dont they also create and score the tests

Very much so in my recollection

Dont forget beef

Once YC companies started having a negative impact on people and communities. Airbnb and gig worker stuff seems to be the start of it.

Im 45, and i can tell you getting a cell phone absolutely destroyed my ability to memorize phone numbers. During the 90s when i was in highschool i has all my friends numbers, parents work numbers, etc... memorized, i only know my parents and wife now.

If you don't use a skill, that skill atrophies

I deleted almost every app on my phone. I use reddit a bit and hn, but that's all the social stuff i do. Hell i use a pixel and disabled YouTube. It's a bit of a challenge at fist, but much much better after you adjust

Is there a company that has been more damaging to the software industry than these jokers?

In ops we call it monitor blindness. Just constant asks get annoying and folks just want to make it stop

I read it as management only knows how to evaluate and reward change even if its just for the sake of the promotion process

Sure it does. I still nees to know the correct mathematics to type into the calculator and the calculator is deterministic. If you don't understand it without the llm explaining it, how can you be sure you actually understand it? How can you catch mistakes made due to it being non-deterministic? Ask another llm? Same problem

We have more code than we need. Proof for me is every "smart" device that worked better before we put a computer in it.

Blame goes to everyone involved. From the decision makers to the implementors

What did they actually say about some's kida?

Knocking out someones teeth would necessitate filing charges

I write code by hand every day. I do the main part of the feature implementation myself and leave comments for the code i want the agent to write. I have some skills and a command that sets the stage to get the agent to fill in the rest

Vibes are not evidence, neither is a curated demo. You need actual measured evidence that has an adversarial review to actually prove something without falling to confirmation bias.
