If only something allowed you to use the typing system you already know, was able to be rolled up, doesn't require you to already own a 3D printer and have knowledge of modeling software, and cost less than $50.

If only...

That's not the fault of the user/students, though. They're different tools. One is outright worse than not using it. Neither produce lasting benefits.

Headline: Screwdrivers better than hammers for screws.

Text: When craftspeople were trained using hammers with screwdriver bits duct-taped to them, they were able to perform the task, but were not able to keep pace with people using screwdrivers. Another team was given power drills, which were effective in practice. However, these did not produce any benefit once all people were given screwdrivers.

The study shows that once you remove the LLM though, the benefit disappears. If you rely on an LLM to help break things down or add context and details, you don't learn those skills on your own.

I used it to learn some coding, but without using it again, I couldn't replicate my own code. It's a struggle, but I don't think using it as a teaching aid is a good idea yet, maybe ever.

You skipped the paragraph where they used two different versions of LLMs in the study. The first statement is regarding generic ChatGPT. The second statement is regarding an LLM designed to be a tutor without directly giving answers.

Everyone should read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

It was written almost 120 years ago, and shows just how horrendous these working conditions used to be before the FDA existed. Everyone who wants to cripple the ability of the FDA to regulate these plants wants those kinds of inhumane working conditions back.

It has a socialist message in the second half, but remember - socialism doesn't replace democracy. Socialism replaces Capitalism.

Even though this is a perfect retort, the 42,000,000 impressions v 1,400 really is the dystopian part. No one who uses the billionaire's site saw it or will see it.

I worked there for 6 years while I was still struggling with accepting my own queerness. I thought that by working a "Christian job" while going to a "Christian school" would help me "overcome" my queerness.

It was a desperate attempt to be accepted by the community I grew up in.

"9th billing from a movie 20 years ago complains about vague use of his character (who had been replaced by two other actors already)"

He argues that TV is better because it can tell stories over a longer period of time, and that movies are becoming bad because they tell the same story over a longer period of time?? This is giving 'old man yells at cloud' energy.
