If there's one thing we learned from the pandemic supply-chain shocks, it's that corporate CEOs never let an emergency go to waste.

Been waiting for someone to test this and see if it really works - can multiple AI agents fact-checking each other reduce hallucinations?

The answer appears to be yes - using 3 agents with a structured review process reduced hallucination scores by ~2,800% across 310 test cases.

It’s so odd this election had the same machines the same poll workers the same rules and yet not one republican is saying it’s fixed. I wonder what happened.

The "thinking" process in o1 is just a brilliant bit of user experience.

Though it may or may not represent the actual chain of thought, it makes the oracular answer at the end feel understandable and explainable (even if it doesn't contain actual information?)

Educationally authentic assessment: reframing authentic assessment in relation to students' meaningful engagement

“Authenticity in assessment in HE is typically defined as authentic to ‘real world’ needs, and, specifically, employment tasks… Authenticity, though, has been defined in relation to other purposes and outcomes of HE. McArthur (2016; 2023), for example, defined authenticity in relation to the broader society and its needs, including social justice, which we call ‘societal authenticity’. Her reference point is still to the ‘real world’, but a world beyond employment. Quinlan and Pitt (2021) proposed that authenticity could be defined in relation to the conceptual, epistemological, social, material and moral conventions of the discipline that students were studying, calling this form of authentic assessment ‘signature assessment’. We call it ‘disciplinary’ authenticity. Vu and Dall-Alba (2014, 786) adopted a human development aim of HE, arguing ‘Assessment is authentic when students are … supported in
… their efforts to become more fully human’. Nieminen and Yang (
2024) developed this idea as ‘assessment for becoming’. Ajjawi et al. (2023) referred to this approach to authenticity as ‘ontological fidelity’. We call it ‘developmental’ authenticity.”

Huomatkaa 'ristiriita' kohtien 1 ja muut välillä. Herää kysymys, mitä ryhmätyöt ovat? Onko niissä fokus yksinomaan tuotoksessa, ei yhteisöllisessä oppimisessa?

Opettajien ja opiskelijoiden kehittämistoiveita KARVIn tutkimuksen mukaan, esittäjänä @MiraHuusko. Mietin toiveitten tynnyriä erityisesti lähi/etä-akselilla. Kannattanee kuitenkin mennä osaamistavoitteet edellä, ei vain toiveita seuraillen. Pedagogiset perustelut! #pedaforum2024
