Yes, that is a weakness. But people have to do the same thing when they install F-Droid, or any other software directly from a developer's website. Maybe it is safer to trust an app store, but I've recently heard stories of hundre

Maybe take a look at pCloud.

As a teacher, I have often been astounded how 17 or 18 year old students don't know about backups and lose big project files at crucial moments.

I taught in high school for several decades and can tell you I saw this shift happen over the past 15 years (by the way I saw my students were just using search rather than folder hierarchies.)

I clone my kids' drives with Clonezilla, but not often enough.

I went from teaching in a Google environment to teaching in a Microsoft environment this year. Though Google now feels familiar and relatively easy (though try moving documents from one folder to another online...), I'd almost forgotte

Thanks, I have added the direct link to the Danish ruling in the article now. Good point.

When I started writing (and the other stuff that comes with it - planning, editing, posting, follow-up, archiving) I stopped making music, because blogging takes up a lot of time.

If you're testing for the skill of using LLMs, then no problem.

It's a good idea, but doesn't solve the problem of the student then using AI to answer the questions in the interview. We're back to square one.

A calculator is an impressive single-function tool. LLMs and other forms of AI are multi-function problem solving tools. ChatGPT and other AI tools are closer to the introduction of the world wide web than they are to the invention of the c

That won't work in many national and international systems, due to externally prescribed exam or coursework conditions.

GPT4 can already convincingly analyse and explain why a drawn comic is funny or ironic. It's really unbelievable when you see it do that.

The main issue that is not addressed is that students need points to pass their subjects and get a high school diploma. LLMs are a magical shortcut to these points for many students, and therefore very tempting to use, for a number of norma

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at rewording that better. It's not clear, as you say.

I'm mainly worried about a permanent record of a profile of a range of my online activities. A realistic first step is to break that up a little. With the Google Maps mention I was suggesting it's ok not to go hard core privacy, b

You could be right, but for now, those supermarket discount schemes are still going strong.

But being censored on a social media platform is not in the same league as being cut off from your own money. That's a real problem. If you can find it, check the Murdaugh murder trial document of his physical movements on the night of

I wrote a paragraph about this issue but cut it out for conciseness. I think it is worrying that if data is truly 'the new oil', it's really strange the names of the behind-the-scenes companies are not in the public debate.
