You’re commitment to movies is awe inspiring

I would agree that there is some fear mongering around students, youth, and reading, but I think it’s important to be cautious that critical skills are still being developed even in a changing educational landscape.

This is not to say that the former isn’t valuable but that it is concerning to see so many people replace a critical part of learning for another.

cohesively using the source documents.

I would argue that de-emphasizing the later is an issue. It is the skill most useful in developing media literacy, something that is becoming increasingly scarce.

These are distinct tasks though. One is knowing how to reformulate a problem statement into something that can be done by existing computational methods. The other is understanding how to take in and process large amounts of information and formulate some sort of thesis that you can substantiate…

This is probably at least partially because it is much easier to go against the grain when you are protected by tenure status.

In a twist that should shock no one, the proceeding 5 flash talks were about how to improve performance of generative AI, specifically LLMs.

The speaker is Professor of Computer Science at UChicago Dr. Ben Zhao cs.uchicago.edu/people/ben-y...

Question: Where are our efforts best spent to mitigate the harm of generative AIs? Response: Legislation is good but moves way too slow for the pace of the problem. We need to be coming up with solutions and mitigating harm now.

Question: Should we engage with legislation and policy making as researchers? Response: Yes. Civic engagement as technical researchers is super important.
