That's actually the trick. If you assign word count, MLA style, grammar, you just have to look for the errors. You don't have to engage with the ideas at all, or provide conversational feedback - just cryptic notes in the margins, like "???" or "awk"
For most of human history, access to a great education has been a function of where you were born and how much money your family had, and of a parents social class.
The best teachers, the best tutors, the best learning resources, they’ve always been concentrated in a small number of places and available to a small number of people.
In my opinion, the AI has the potential to genuinely disrupt that.
The direction of travel is toward a world where a kid in a rural area with a smartphone has access to a quality of personalized instruction that would have been unimaginable only one generation ago.
I don't think it's strange at all to see this post, and the argument, in the context of Brunet's general antagonism towards academe. Certainly suggests that some arguments might be made in bad faith, or as performative gravy-train applications for the broader conservative news ecosystem.
That's right, we're just raking it in! Laughing over here and smoking a stogie thinking about you uncorrupt saps in [checks notes] the Ycombinator forum
"Psychophantic" here is a telling (and hilarious, until I realized OP was serious) slip. "I kept winning arguments, but then I realized I could be obsequious instead."
You sure they're not on 20 pay contracts? Everybody tells me "it must be so nice, getting summers off" and I'm like "actually I look for summer courses because I don't get paid."
Yeah there's some truth to this - I find that my Ed students don't always have sophisticated understandings of their content area (though honestly I find that ENGR and BIOL students don't, either). But they do get more content area teaching than in ED.
ED as a field is 100% all-in on AI, too, so there's a lot of discussion amongst them about what skills in the field need to be automated and what has to stay artisanal. But I'm sympathetic to zozbot's claims too - I do think the reading scores would be higher if there were more comp/rhet specialists in sec. ed.
I'd prefer someone who is confident enough to take another geology or literature course over the gun-handler. I'd make sure that person is in a supervisory position over welfare-state products of our armed forces, certainly.
If you were presented with three options for hiring, each with identical professional experience, but the first has a four year degree, while the second has a three year degree, and the third has a three year degree plus + year of national service in a country with an effective military which one would you pick and why?
