  This is why I think we need to spend more time on teaching students to use tools like this rather than waste time trying to #block #ban #detect or make it punitive. #ChatGPT #AI is the new calculator! #AIassisted #Web3 https://twitter.com/...

  I required AI in my classes this semester, and its going well! Some reflections: inaccuracy may be less of a concern than many worried about (students get the problem & it actually provides an opportunity to apply learning) but training on AI tools is key https://oneusefulthing.s…

  I had my students “cheat” and create AI essays. Every teacher should know more sophisticated prompts resulted in essays that GPT-Zero would not identify as AI-created (and, of course, TurnItIn didn't work all) More early reflections on requiring AI use: https://oneusefulthing.sub…

  In my “Code Red” blog post, I explained that smaller & newer engines have been ahead of Google & Bing with AI chat. @YouSearchEngine is one of them & it launched multimodal search a few weeks ago, & now can field questions about live events (like sports): https://www.technologyre…

  I've been using Andi for a few months to search the Internet. It's opened my eyes to how Google-centric my search experience has been. It's not that Google is bad, it's that discovery can be much more than lists of links. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...

  I was so excited to talk with @strwbilly about the future of search ✨ Thanks for highlighting the importance of factual accuracy in AI. It's one of the most important issues of our age. Great write up! @techreview https://twitter.com/...

  LLMs are like fill-in-the-blank machines, they just make stuff up. Andi works like humans, combining language models with reasoning and common sense. Thank you so much @strwbilly @techreview for the mention 🙏💙 https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...

  “The AI model underlying [Baidu's] bot has been in development since 2019 with its newest generation trained on 260bn parameters — comparable to GPT3, the technology underpinning ChatGPT, in terms of size, although trained on a much smaller data set.” https://www.ft.com/...

  Why China Didn't Invent ChatGPT. “The state's hardening censorship and heavier hand have held back its tech industry; so has entrepreneurs' reluctance to invest for the long term. It wasn't always that way.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

• @beirutspring Mustapha Hamoui on x

  I remember when it was commonly accepted that China will surpass the West in machine learning and AI because it is not constrained by rule of law, privacy regulations and consumer rights. https://twitter.com/...

  “Once the open environment is gone, it will be challenging to create such products,” he said. If a decade ago China was the wild, wild East for tech entrepreneurship and innovation, it's a very different country now. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  “'Why ChatGPT wasn't invented in China?' they asked...They're also asking more fundamental questions...: Have censorship, geopolitical tensions and the government's growing control of the private sector made China less friendly to innovation?” @LiYuan6 https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Given the interest in ChatGPT, a fascinating essay by @LiYuan6 about how China led in AI technology but then fumbled because of political controls. Chinese techies joke, “We need to teach machines not only how to speak, but also how not to speak.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  “But the [Chinese] govt has been the biggest barrier to A.I. — its obsession w/ censorship perhaps its heaviest club....a wide range of data is crucial to developing tech like ChatGPT, and that is increasingly harder to come by in a censored ..environment.” https://www.nytimes.co…

  If a decade ago China was the wild, wild East for tech entrepreneurship & innovation,it's a very different country now under Xi.ChatGPT serves as both a shock&a revelation:China lags far behind the U.S. in A.I. & gov't control stifles innovation. My latest https://www.nytimes.com…
