What bothers me is all this talk of AI consciousness and they can’t *add*.

By and large, I think course design is actually very bad most exams are better proxies for a number of traits other than mastery.
I was just at dinner with my old roommate who took the same classes. I was first done on every exam, he was last. We’re equally competent. Hell, he might be better.

Oh yeah. I expect to see a genre of indie games where you get some random set of NPCs with some kind of relationships between them and you get to shake them up like bugs in a jar.
