While not a positive tale, I think the the point you are trying to make is more about coercion/compulsion (i.e. generally what you see as a lack of agency), than it is about specific things like poor parenting (which is also very commo

I agree, insofar that most of the discourse I've seen often neglects fundamental drivers of our economy such as the division of labor and has undue focus on outcomes that are less likely to come to pass, as opposed to risk oriented dis

I disagree, there are a number of very large ETF's and other securities holding bonds which have not correctly valued the bonds at current or future bond prices in this hyper-inflationary environment. A bond is only worth the sum of it

Well none of those studies take into account US-style weed-out classes where there may be a 12% pass rate for a bottleneck transfer class, and the class is structured to fail students. Any value-based research that neglects these is just ju

Article lacks any semblance of credibility. Not worth reading. The author is naively mistaken in what dictates outcomes. Incentives dictate outcomes, there's a lot of flawed thinking and wrong conclusions made by the author. Much of th

I don't think LLMs are going to be able to solve that. There are a number of things that are assumed are true, but may not necessarily be true. This can potentially lead to multiple possible answers (outputs) given the same inputs. For

Unfortunately, this is the tendency, to always blame the student because its their fault not the systems fault. You must be doing something wrong, I've heard it all. It took me two decades to find out these were lies. Sure there are so

US-based community college is mostly just a bait and switch fraud. There inevitably are weed-out classes where you can be weeded out of programs or college entirely simply by having the unfortunate luck to attend them. Usually positioned in

In some areas like this one, control is just an illusion. You can certainly do things to reduce and risk manage the downsides, but you can only ever do so against scenarios you have dreamt up and spent time confirm and validating that your

I think any potential benefit for having an AI assistant would immediately be offset by the problems, scale, and impact the collection of that data would engender on your life. Its a short step from a simple assistant to having a spy that w

one might even go so far as to argue a literal public attempt at ending the human race. I somehow don't think a disclaimer will cover that. We won't be around to enforce it once our atoms have been reused and optimized to a more s
