  • You wildly misunderstood my post. Firstly, I’m not suggesting students turn their brains off. Secondly, how you learn isn’t relevant to the demonstration and application of that knowledge, which is precisely why I said in person assessment is the optimal way. You ask the student and watch them, live. This is how you defend a thesis, in front of a live panel. No tools, no cheating, just your knowledge.

    What I am suggesting is that the system should adapt to the reality of the technology.









  • You can cast from your phone to a dedicated device. Going from easiest to hardest in terms of setup:

    • chromecast
    • nvidia shield
    • custom PC

    You’d use your phone (or tablet or laptop) to load the app/website (twitch, youtube, plex, whatever) then cast to the device, which would be connected to your TV. The chromecast is the most likely to have shitty features and forced upgrades while the custom PC will leave everything up to you. The end result is no outsourcing control of your primary display (TV) and you can leave it permanently offline.






  • The tool isn’t sentient, it operates on logical weights, and provides output that mimics its training set. LLMs are pretty impressive at what they can output, but it would be dishonest to attribute human qualities to it. There are decades of implementations of various AI techniques to varying degrees in attempts to achieve the same. It is on the technical basis, and the technical basis alone, that we should be carefully considering legal constraints.

    How much a CEO is worth, how trustworthy they are, what cirlces they run in, shouldn’t be part of that consideration.

    That doesn’t mean I think Altman isn’t a turd who can suck a fat one.
