No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Starting with code before understanding the problem, and existing solutions, is a problem.
Say you're assigned a bug report. The first step is to verify and reproduce it.
If necessary, find a solution, including workarounds, and existing solutions.
If that doesn't work, then write code.

I get this. However, don’t you think we are better reviewers and eventually better problem solvers by first writing code? And to continue getting better, we need to keep this cycle going. If it breaks, i.e no more code, then our reviewing and understanding abilities degrades?

The question should never be "is fraud profitable" or "is plagiarism good for my h-index". A call for dispassionate study fails to confront power structures that got us here, cedes the framing, and ignores the fact that decision-makers won't fund and won't listen to results of critical studies.
Why limit to empirical effects and not in principle rejecting? We reject things as inappropriate (or worse) based on how they are a conflict of interest — ed tech by fascist companies. No data affect such a judgement once made. Common sense for conflicts of interest, not creation of new databases.
Triggered by claims the "AI in education debate" is caught in a deadlock and by some academics worried that "AI critics: are over-anxious about *possible* rather than empirically documented effects, here are what I think are some worthwhile critical projects about AI in education 🧵
