I'm a scientist who likes mountains, painting, mass spectrometry, metabolism, and retinas. This is an interim description but may just become the full thing.

I have a number of colleagues who think that LLMs will be very useful as individualized tutors.

One of their arguments is that unlike previous generations of AI tutors, LLMs have the full context window of the conversation and that’s better understand what a student knows and doesn’t know.

Gold star if you leave a comment. Bonus gold star if you pass this on to someone else so they can do it, too.

(2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust.
