what university sends out academic integrity suspicion mails on CHRISTMAS EVE??? 😭😭 i know they’re just being overly careful with this assignment and that it’s not Actual suspicion, just that i have to meet with my tutor to “check in” and “ensure” but BROOOO that shit makes me so stressed out

[ghostlyheart]

When my peers/students I tutor say to me "oh I only use chatgpt to make outlines" I don't know how to explain to them that outlining is also a skill that you should cultivate. Organization matters just as much as content. Like I guess I could just say that and sometimes I do but I think we live on different planets atp

I read this post recently on reddit and it made a lot of sense Why duolingo doesn’t seem to listen to its users (it's not just because of money)

(I ignored the user advertising their own language learning tool at the bottom. If you want to learn from stories, LingQ exists, along with MANY Graded Reader websites for various languages and many physical Graded Reader books. There is likely already a tool that exists for free, or paid but very well made for the language you are learning specifically, to learn basics in the language using stories).

Read the article above if you are wondering "is duolingo useful for me?"

The short answer: is that if you ever want to learn a language, the answer is no. It's target audience is people who use the app frequently, and that is usually beginners who want very easy questions (so they learn slow if ever), who'd get on social media if they weren't playing duolingo like a 'game.'

The long answer is: yeah some people learned up to A2/B1 with Duolingo, if they pushed very hard to get through the whole duolingo course, and then kept studying with other materials, and usually those people spent more than 5-15 minutes daily on the language they were studying. Evan Edinger is an example of someone who successfully 'used duolingo' and many other things, to learn a language. Basically, if your goal is to learn to do things in a language, almost any other learning resource will be providing information to you faster than duolingo, and your success is going to be more about time spent studying than what you use, so there's no particular point in using duolingo over anything else.

My answer is: fuck duolingo it's going AI first, and I have seen enough shitty AI translations and explanations of language to say it's probably going to result in some fucked up lessons, and it means less employees who actually get a paycheck and put in real human thought into lessons, and literally ANY OTHER RESOURCE where real humans are putting effort into the course will be better to use. Pick any other resource! Pick anki user made decks, or LingQ, or Mango Languages app (free from many Libraries), or Innovative Languages/LanguagePod101 lessons (free in Library apps like Hoopla), or old Glossika cd courses, or Assimil audio/textbooks, or Teach Yourself textbooks, or free open online courses like on Coursera, or any specific courses made for teaching the specific language you're studying! If you just look up "beginner textbook" then "intermediate textbook" for the language you're studying, and follow that recommendation and do all the stuff in them, you'll be on a path to understanding novels and shows and conversations in the language upon completing those materials! It really is that simple. So many free great resources exist for language learning! And paid great resources! (I genuinely just looked up "2000 common words list" and "grammar guide summary" online as a beginner, and that'll get you to the point of being able to read graded readers, then eventually regular novels and shows if you're willing to look up words in a translation app!) There's no need to use an AI based course, which will almost certainly teach some things wrong.

Research takes time, but for now, there is not even conclusive evidence that A.I. improves learning outcomes when compared with human teaching of older students. One study of nearly 1,000 Turkish high schoolers from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania compared two groups of students who were allowed access to different versions of OpenAI’s GPT-4 when studying for a math exam with a control group of students who had no generative A.I. resources. Students with access to generative A.I. did much better on practice tests for which they could use the A.I. But when all of the students were given an exam with no access to A.I., the control group with old-school study resources outperformed the group who studied with A.I.

Btw the solution to AI art and writing is going to be found somewhere in the intersection of compassion and systematic change, just like basically every other problem in the world, not actually yelling at people on the internet

Tinkering with my personal website again

Above screenie is zoomed out to capture everything. Anyone wanna guess which blinkies I made? Also, the Twitter blinkie just takes you to my BSky lol (on purpose).

Several of the images were put together by me! I can teach pretty much anything in tech, this is just the stuff that I thought of.

I made the floppy-disk icons myself, with some help from wifey on getting the text to render as part of the SVGs!
