Harvard using AI to teach students

1. More of a rip-off than t home learning
2. As if attempted brainwashing wasn’t easy enough
3. Do the bill paying parents know they’re being ripped off?
4. Everyone including minorities should not go there if this is what you get

Honestly i would be all for this.

Professors love to say that their course is self-taught and that it isnt their job to actually teach.

I say we take them up on that and cut out the middleman entirely. Lazy bastards lol.

@Eternity

Would they charge a premium to compensate for absent professors?

Eternity · 26-30, M

@PatKirby probably. Its mostly all a scam anyhow 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Something really needs to be done about the university racket.

But they're too busy going after unions: institutions that actually provide the services they say they do and to the benefit of all working people within or without.

This place is screwy.

You are so right @Eternity

They're also not into ranking the students with standardized testing. So now they're stupid, too.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Tuition continues to rise too. @Roundandroundwego

stratosranger · M

Are they charging them the same exorbitant fees? Or is this more brainwashing on a budget?

Until I was a college junior, taking some very specific physics classes, I always thought the other classes could all be online and the same in every college in the country.

@jackjjackson My kids went to excellent schools...and I went to a run of the mill school. We both learned the same material....if anything, their grades were inflated. What they got that I didn't get was the name recognition AND the connections. As a result, they're doing much better than I did career-wise....I can only imagine what it's like to go to a Stanford or Columbia....

In general I agree however at some point it’s one’s worth ethic, taken, perseverance and personality that makes one’s career. @originnone

I suppose they became too mentally lazy in their Ivory Towers to use rigorous human intelligence and chose AI instead. Guaranteed to not interfere with established woke philosophy or take personal time off or vacation. So there's that.

Wrong! Nope!! BZZZZZZZZTT!!!

Harvard is teaching beginning CS students to [i]use[/i] AI to find their elementary software bugs and to write better code much faster.

[quote] [b]CS50's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python[/b]

Course description

AI is transforming how we live, work, and play. By enabling new technologies like self-driving cars and recommendation systems or improving old ones like medical diagnostics and search engines, the demand for expertise in AI and machine learning is growing rapidly. This course will enable you to take the first step toward solving important real-world problems and future-proofing your career.

CS50’s Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python explores the concepts and algorithms at the foundation of modern artificial intelligence, diving into the ideas that give rise to technologies like game-playing engines, handwriting recognition, and machine translation. Through hands-on projects, students gain exposure to the theory behind graph search algorithms, classification, optimization, reinforcement learning, and other topics in artificial intelligence and machine learning as they incorporate them into their own Python programs. By course’s end, students emerge with experience in libraries for machine learning as well as knowledge of artificial intelligence principles that enable them to design intelligent systems of their own.

Enroll now to gain expertise in one of the fastest-growing domains of computer science from the creators of one of the most popular computer science courses ever, CS50. You’ll learn the theoretical frameworks that enable these new technologies while gaining practical experience in how to apply these powerful techniques in your work.

They're losing credibility but not fast enough.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Good point. How does that speed up? One would think the ridiculous prices even though the Ivies are so greatly endowed tuition COULD be free for every student forever would outrage everyone. @Roundandroundwego

@jackjjackson JFC is everything political with you? A submarine implodes, liberals did it to distract from Biden’s terrible economy.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Speaking of that sub. What a damn shame. Lots of rich people refuse to go things like that. Even rockets are safer. I guess since the owner died too he can’t be prosecuted. @LeopoldBloom

LeopoldBloom · M

@jackjjackson [i]Behind the Bastards[/i] has a podcast about it. There's also an article in [i]The New Yorker[/i]. The sub operator basically ignored the advice of experts and decided to do his own thing. He even ridiculed the deep-sea submersible's history of safety as a sign that sub designers lacked imagination.

What's odd is that billionaires generally have people who check this stuff out for them. It wasn't a secret that Ocean Gate was cutting corners.
