M. Grégoire<p>"Things have changed. Ted Gioia describes modern students as checked-out, phone-addicted zombies. Troy Jollimore writes, “I once believed my students and I were in this together, engaged in a shared intellectual pursuit. That faith has been obliterated over the past few semesters.” Faculty have seen a stunning level of disconnection […] it is getting harder and harder and we don’t know what to do."</p><p><a href="https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hilariusbookbinder.substack.co</span><span class="invisible">m/p/the-average-college-student-today</span></a></p><p>Via <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/AstralCodexTen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AstralCodexTen</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>universities</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/screens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>screens</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/SmartPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartPhones</span></a><br><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/KidsTheseDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KidsTheseDays</span></a></p>
safest_integer<p>A bold short-term prediction about AI progress by "superforecasters" (who don't seem to use coding agents a lot): "We think that 2025 and 2026 will see gradually improving AI agents. In 2027, coding agents will finally be good enough to substantially boost AI R&amp;D itself, causing an intelligence explosion that plows through the human level sometime in mid-2027 and reaches superintelligence by early 2028." <br> <a href="https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/introducing-ai-2027" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">astralcodexten.com/p/introduci</span><span class="invisible">ng-ai-2027</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/astralcodexten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astralcodexten</span></a></p>
