Cada vez soy mas defensor de vivir la vida offline. De no publicar nada, de no compartir momentos personales con el mundo, de guardarse las experiencias para uno mismo. No hay necesidad de publicar tu vida con gente que te da like y seguro les caes mal
AI will do to minds what the decline in manual labor did to bodies.
The privileged few will keep exercising their minds with literature, art and science, just like they kept exercising their bodies despite escalators, elevators and desk work.
The many will suffer something akin to the obesity crisis but for the mind.
MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.
The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.
The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.
Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.
The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.
The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.
En el Japón del siglo XIX, cuando un pescador capturaba un pez grande, no tenía forma de demostrarlo. No había cámaras. Resolvieron el problema de la manera más directa posible: entintaban el pez y lo estampaban en papel. Y acabó convirtiéndose en un arte. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Qué aprender de los gatos: ignorar e irte cuando algo te molesta; si tienes un problema, ignóralo y duerme una siesta larga; actúa como si no escucharas cuando deseas evadir a alguien; y si algo te estresa, otra siesta.
