thanks mr mayor! given how dangerous the last storms have been (at least one fatality), i am rooting for you and the team to do better this time!

Yeah, the pasting part seems especially bad, but also I wonder why it’s not better supported to put LLM’s in a helping, but not so solving mode

i'm probably horribly naive, but at princeton we had this honor code thing, and you signed it, i don't really remember, but a lot. definitely on individual tests.

i don't see how if you say, sign here to affirm you didn't use an LLM on this assignment, how it's much different.

I don’t think the study of people says they’ll always do the easier thing, even if it requires lying about it … but, I’m really asking about what other people think is happening

until then, i would have assumed we were saying, "you're not allowed to use agents for this assignment, since you need to learn the fundamentals so you can do stuff agents can't do" … is that not true, or is it taken for granted that everyone is doing so anyway?

i struggled for the last three days on a coding problem, used every agent, finally had to ask a person skilled in the area and they solved it in like 4 minutes

i don't really see how that is possible, are you sayiing with today's coding agents or you think that in the next ~year the coding agents will be so good to enable this? b/c i'm thinking the TAs in 2-3 years are students basically right now

yeah! one thing i like this is that it gives us a better structure to argue for what we actually want!

Again I find it baffling to compare the coverage to when Gemini generated implausibly many Black hockey players etc. That was apparently a societal emergency. But the mass harassment campaign taking place in public barely warrants a mention.
