Time blindness, a tiny tiktok on how my tiny app "Good Human!" helps with that: www.tiktok.com/@heygoodhuma...

Spotify's new prompt-driven AI generated playlists are really fun. Each song includes a note and you can ask the notes to include specific info. Cooool :). Example: open.spotify.com/playlist/37i...

Why didn't zootopia 2 use DuckDuckGo?!

Some design thoughts on my tiny productivity app "Good human!". I think pomodoro fails when you try to stick to rigid work and break session lengths. Work, pause, work some more, we'll show you your progress . What do you think :)? apps.apple.com/us/app/good-... #productivity #focus #pomodoro #adhd

The TA LLM provides feedback on the homework submission, the teacher monitors this feedback and can comment or step in at any time. The student can ask questions or iterate as much as needed, prioritizing learning. The TA LLM can ask questions or give quizes to verify understanding. The full conversation is accessible to the teacher. Finally, the TA LLM passes the homework to the teacher, along with the full conversation and a recommendation on grading. The teacher can add her own specialized feedback and override the LLM if needed.

The student iterates and asks questions; TA LLM answers and gives quizzes. 😁? The teacher adds her feedback and final approval.

Teachers Don't Scale!

Teachers don't scale. Currently typically, one time feedback from a busy teacher or TA that we hope students will read and learn from. And group projects are not the solution. We can do better.

I shared some slides with our school's dean, I teach at Berkeley's mids program. Slides included in the thread :)
tldr:
1. Teachers don't scale
2. Student's who are determined to cheat, will. Prioritize learning!
3. We need to embrace AI for teaching.

What do you think? Slides in the thread.

Can this help you focus and be productive...? What else would you like me to add :)?

… I still think learning fundamentals is worthwhile, in any field. But beyond that, teaching students how to learn is one of the most important skills we can give them! We still need to figure out how best to do it with AI. Beyond that, what exact skills should we teach? Still not entirely sure.

Which finally raises the important question, what do we teach students? Should students learn to program today? It seems like in 5-10 years this skill might be all but automated. What skills exactly should we teach the students? …

Regarding grading, I have more controversial thoughts. I think we should prioritize learning. I think if a person wants to cheat they will cheat, certainly in this new world of AI. We should prioritize giving those who do want to learn, every opportunity to optimize and maximize their learnings…

…students are afraid to ask what they don't understand, certainly in the classroom where their peers are watching.
In class I feel lucky if one student asks a question that is likely on many students' minds. But we feel comfortable asking claude.ai anything :). Then, we have evaluation and grades…

…but I think we have to embrace Al in education to stay relevant and competitive. Professors and TAs don't scale.
They can't be at your side 24x7 to guide the student as you work things out, catching mistakes early and answering every question that may come to mind. Furthermore, students are afraid…

I teach applied machine at Berkeley and I think students and teachers are trying to figure out how Al fits in education. Al affects the entire "flow", figuring out the syllabus, preparing material, writing exercises and exams, and finally the work you do when you graduate. Many see this as a threat…

Submitted my first Apple app to the app store :)!!! It's a work timer with some extras :).

Had to create a tiny site for privacy and support. Getting the right resolution screenshots required experimentation. Tweaking the views so they work on different devices and orientation took some work.

🥳

Chess with nephew, chill and then maybe mess with one of the side projects... How about you?

I've been working on a new app. A "work timer" style app, kind of like pomodoro with tiny twists. Really early :). If you care (or struggle) with productivity, like (or gave up) on pomodoro timers, would love your thoughts on a testflight stage app :). Live long and prosper.

AI: What Could Go Wrong? with Geoffrey Hinton | The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart YouTube video by The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

Geoffrey Hinton 🙌: " I believe they [LLMs] have subjective experiences. But they don't think they do because everything they believe came from trying to predict the next word a person would say.... they have false beliefs about themselves because they have our beliefs" youtu.be/jrK3PsD3APk?...

Do you post differently on LinkedIn vs here?

Microsoft AI chief says only biological beings can be conscious Mustafa Suleyman has become one of the most influential voices in tech to come out against building seemingly conscious AI.

Conscious machines? Thou does protest too much: "only biological beings are capable of consciousness... should stop pursuing projects that suggest otherwise" and “If you ask the wrong question, you end up with the wrong answer. I think it’s totally the wrong question.”

Will we ever run out of jobs for humans to do? People argue new jobs always pop up. My "giant bowl of M&Ms theory" says, every time you take an M&M it uncovers 4-5 new M&Ms. But even a giant bowl will run out. What's left? The human connection. Playing chess with a human, scarier, but more fun!

Kaggle launched Game Arena, "AI models and agents compete head-to-head", in strategic games starting with chess. So Claude is playing against Grok and friends. See www.kaggle.com/blog/introdu... and Hikaru is streaming live right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nBy... covering the games.

I SOLD my AI startup for $200,000 (yes, again) YouTube video by Nico Jeannen

The full story of how I made Talknotes in a week and sold it for $200,000 one year later 🧐

It covers:
- 💡 How I got to the idea
- 🤝 Getting my first customers
- 📈 Growing the app (and burning out)
- 💸 Selling it

Took me more 8+ months to finish it, but it's finally here! 😃

Your API is not an MCP | DEMFP786 YouTube video by Microsoft Developer

MCP, Model Context Protocol, seems to "magically" connect software and apps (e.g. blender, unity, unreal, godot) to LLMs like claude (or chatgpt).

This shows you how, including: 1. don't just dump your API into your MCP, 2. work at a higher level, and 3. add tests. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeOA...

AI TikTok Block (suggestion)

I want to long-press on someone's face, and then "AI block" them, never to see a post with their face again.

Similarly, you can "tok block" people by their voice... or if their name is uttered?

Creating a "filter bubble", for better and worse. Ignore-ance is bliss!?
