  • As a Norwegian of some age, this entire case was one of the most jarring news stories I’ve encountered.

    Imagine following the news in the early 2000s. Our crown prince found love among the (extremely) common people, and got married to a woman who had a small child. Royalist tightbutts are pissing themselves at the breach of tradition but the rest of the country is charmed by the heartwarming love affair.

    News plastered for months and months of of a couple in love, and Marius the cuutest tiny blonde litte boy barely out of diapers and being adorable everywhere. And it fades out.

    20-something years pass, and news are going on about something “Marius Høiby…”

    Omg! I remember him! He was the cutes- WHAT THE FUCK

















  • This is what I have been hoping LLMs would provoke since the beginning.

    Testing understanding via asking students to parrot textbooks with changed wording was always a shitty method, and one that de-incentivizes deep learning:

    It allows for teachers that do not understand their field beyond a superficial level to teach, and to evaluate. What happens when a student given the test question “Give an intuitive description of an orbit in your own words” answers by describing orbital mechanics in a relative frame instead of a global frame, when the textbook only mentions global frame? They demonstrate understanding beyond the material which is excellent but all they do is risk being marked down by a teacher who can’t see the connection.

    A student who only memorized the words and has the ability to rearrange them a bit, gets full marks no risk.
