Open post Curtis King @cjek420@hachyderm.io · 6mo ago Replying to @drdrang@fosstodon.org <p>I have a few quasi-medical appointments next week, so I’ve been getting reminder texts from those offices today. When each text arrives, Siri pops up a notification, suggesting that I might want to add an event to my calendar. Of course, I already have the events in my calendar, so the main purpose of these notifications is to remind me that Apple’s promises from nearly two years ago still haven’t been fulfilled.</p> @drdrang Most of the problems with Siri can be solved without AI.
Open post Curtis King @cjek420@hachyderm.io · 5mo ago Replying to @bcantrill@mastodon.social LLMs are changing every aspect of higher education, but perhaps none more so than computer science, where LLMs inflame the age-old tension between the thrill of building and the importance of first-principles understanding. Today, @ahl@mastodon.social and I will be joined by Brown University CS professors Shriram Krishnamurthi and Kathi Fisler to talk about their experience teaching an agentic AI course -- and what it might bode for the future of CS education. Join us, 5p Pacific today! https://discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?event=1500866494588780544 @bcantrill@mastodon.social @ahl@mastodon.social The “thrill of building” with a LLM is like saying “thrill of shopping at Walmart”
