  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • Well, pre-recorded video should have LONG ago replaced in person lectures. And we could have had symbolic programs handles all exercises, exams, quiz most of the formulaic interactions that teachers use to bulk up their courses.

    All those freed teaching hours could be pooled together to create the video content and refine it more and more.

    Instead we've got teacher giving the same lecture 6 times a week. Exhausting and unnecessary. Their efforts would be much better spent with rapid one on one tutoring of only those who need help.

    And that was all BEFORE we had AI to offload most of the mundane tasks.

  • I code for fun, have been doing so for decades and using AI as an helper has been amazing.

    My coding skill in my cursed basic variants (VB6/VBA/vb.net)

    translated overnight to basically any language that I want, it's just amazing.

    I can almost code in javascript by hand just from exposure, despite never formally trying to learn it

  • If students did useful things, self directed things, were allowed to discover and create, can you imagine how ducking crazy that would be ? Imagine if we didn't largely waste the bulk of everyone's youth on boring 1800s style lecturing toiling in mass education factories ?

  • Sure but that was not anywhere near the bulk of my time spent in school. Most of my actual learning occurred after school on the internet. School mostly made me accept that my most useful hours of my life would be consumed, and largely wasted, by external forces which I would have little to no control over and even less chances to escape from.

  • Well, I would like the whole address, from hour to hour, to have no correlation whatsoever, as many random numbers as possible.

  • Thanks I'll check that out

    For me it is

    "Do schools kill creativity? | Sir Ken Robinson | TED"

    which is the first result if you search youtube for "ted talk education"

    He doesn't really have a solution of mass manufactured education but he does highlight the problem real good

    Actually, someone made a drawing version of this talk and it's really good

  • The disappearance of forum public discussion to unsearchable, unpreserved, discord semi-private discussion chambers is probably the largest informational catastrophe of the internet so far.

  • Well it's not like you had a choice in the matter and that's why they don't care how interested you are. You and the rest of your batch just need to sit still for an hour and a half until you get a break walking to the next boredom session.

    I find it quite incredible that I spent 14 years of 40 hours weeks listening to people talk about stuff I did not care about under the assumption that if I didn't I'd end up homeless so they never tried to make me care.

    Fortunately we had a computer at home to learn about the stuff I actually cared about.

    I find it crushing that they're still making students sit and listen about this boring useless shit when they can just ask their phones about whatever they'd be trying to do if they weren't listening to a course plan from the 1800s about completely obsolete and irrelevant things.

    How can this incredibly important phase of life be so hopelessly poisoned by school for absolutely no reasons at all.

  • Stack overflow is almost dead

  • Yep, they aggressively XY problem your question until you give up. Also why many questions do not give the answer to the problem what most people asking that question would ask.

  • If anything just that it will break most tracking and surveillance systems that weren't built for the tiny proportion of ipv6 hosts.

    The question is, how can get a few tens of thousands of completely random and unrelated ipv6 addresses and pick one at random for every connection I make to outside my LAN

  • Bevause we are letting our guard down from psychopaths, seduced by their money and submissive toward them to get some. Reduced to prostitutes on our knees to please them for rewards they convince us to crave while using our pension funds so they can take bet on exploitating us more.
