I work for Saudi aramco and my job is to give large briefcases of cash to underpaid or professionally frustrated european supercar designers in order to ensure that their flagship EVs all look like shit.
The most misguided thing ppl say is ‘social media isnt real life’. Yes it is. Ppl are on their phone 24/7. Theyre cancelling plans so they can look at their phone. Everyone in yr train carriage is scrolling their phone.Nobody knows whats real anymore and everybody is angry.
When I taught MBA students they were given a set of variables for an imaginary company to create a three-year cash-flow and valuation.
Right before they were to present, I sent another 3 variables and they had to fix it live. Teaching while AI exists requires some imagination.
🚨 University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce. Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse:
"Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (...) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.”

"By November, Williams estimated that at least half of his students were using AI to write their papers. Attempts at accountability were pointless. Williams had no faith in AI detectors, and the professor teaching the class instructed him not to fail individual papers, even the clearly AI-smoothed ones. “Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power of ChatGPT, and the departmental stance was, ‘Well, it’s a slippery slope, and we can’t really prove they’re using AI,’” Williams said. “I was told to grade based on what the essay would’ve gotten if it were a ‘true attempt at a paper.’ So I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT.”

AI in education is a serious topic, and many schools and universities are blindly jumping into the "AI-first" wave without considering short and long-term consequences.
It would be great to hear more from teachers and educators to understand potential solutions.
This might be a great opportunity for rethinking the education system and how students are assessed.

It should be pretty obvious at this point that AI is a "force multiplier" not a "labor substitute".
It helps experts be better at things they are already good at. It doesn't let beginners match experts.
If you can't write, anything you write with AI will be unmitigated slop.
If you aren't a software engineer, anything you vibecode with AI will have security holes and won't be able to scale past a toy demo.
If you blindly trust AI to deliver on a research task without knowing the subject matter, you won't be able to fact-check it.
There's this weird misconception of AI as something that completely levels the playing field. I don't see it that way at all. There are mathematicians deriving novel lemmas with off-the-shelf models. Normal people can't do that.
AI is a tool that makes experts better. It doesn't make everyone into an expert.
@SustainableTall Well this is random. I've been on the board of this development for over ten years and was part of the development from the very start to the finish, let me know if you have any questions!

@MoodRobert@EquinorASA@energidep@Regjeringen Men nærvarmesentraler som produserer varme med større varmepumper når strømprisene er lave og lagrer det vil gjøre at vi kan spare mye på å ikke bygge ut strømnettet vårt. Det har vi bygget i Asker https://t.co/aqBDW8FN2A
@MoodRobert@EquinorASA@energidep@Regjeringen Vi må forske på og bygge datagrunnlag for hvordan vann ser ut på seismikk. Det er vi gode på i Norge når det kommer til olje (PGS F eks) men har ikke dataen på vann. Geovarme i Norge vil alltid trenge strøm for å drives, da vi ikke er Island, så er mer komplimentert til havvind
i fucking love this account every post is like “the food was the wrong color and smelled like rotten fish. i could tell immediately something was very wrong.” then next paragraph “After consuming all of it,”
one time at my old job a lady made a reservation and said she had a service dog. ok that’s cool!
but then when she showed up her service dog was, in fact, a stroller of pomeranians (at least 5)
Trekking in Nepal gets exponentially easier when following @BinodClimate. His Twitter account is by far the most reliable weather forecast for this country!
