That statement is not "fine". That statement follows a logical structure that may be correct, but there's nothing "fine" about a department responsible for preventing the spread of disease promotes an ideology by explicitly making a change that fuels vaccine hesitancy among the public.

There's a lot more to statements, such as human interpretation than simply logic would ... wait ... have you been screened for autism?

Wakefield. Andrew Wakefield. And because he was English he was discredited, barred from his profession and had to *checks notes* flee to the USA where he can continue spreading his bullshit to people who would listen. Heck if he were American I'd expect he would have RFK Jr's job right now.

I wouldn't leave math to anyone anymore at this point https://science.slashdot.org/s...

And yet you constantly used the term "lying". I have a feeling you didn't understand the parent's comment at all if you don't understand why it was a direct rebuttal to your point.

This shows you have no idea what agents are. Agents act on your behalf *under you instruction*. No they aren't self-managing or judgement making. They are task completing. Ultimately an AI agent is akin to AI how a Macro is akin to an Excel formula. You create agents to do specific things with specific criteria. And they many orders of magnitude more useful than generic LLMs.

When has "supported" ever been a synonym for "getting the latest features retrospectively"? Oh right, UID in the 10million, another entitled GenZer.

Huh? With ... like a cable? What is this the 90s? On Windows my phone is just there as a device available in Explorer at all times while it's on the WiFi. This is why it's still not year of the Linux on desktop.

Except that seems to be the opposite of what is being said in TFA which is that colleges are putting effort into bringing students up to spec so they *can* pass. Have you considered enrolling in a college? Maybe they'll make you take a basic English comprehension class to help you along.

This is so incredibly elitist and dumb it's amazing. No a college's job is to tech the subject. Whether they aid that by giving people the opportunity to have a head start is irrelevant. Simply blocking people out of an education because they came from a system that put them on the back foot leaves you with yet another elitist tiered system that promotes inequality.

Heck if colleges didn't provide non-college sources I would never have turned into an engineer. I didn't select the necessary pre-requisites in high-school. Having the ability to do highschool bridging courses in math, chemistry and physics allowed me to ultimately enrol in engineering, something your idea would have blocked me from despite the fact that I graduated top of my school for the subjects I did do.

But I guess fuck me because I wanted a career change.

No in this case new math was very much the problem. No one had issues with the standards that preceded it.

While your post is generally on point, field experts are rarely the best placed to decide on how to actually teach their own subject. There's a follow on to the adage of "Those who can't do, teach", and that's that "Those who can do, typically make really horrible teachers."

How big is a 7/16th" drillbit again? On the up side we're finally trained an entire generation who will grow up to vote to changing that special measurement system the USA uses.

*laughs menacingly in metric*

That's an amazingly ignorant comment given this topic is about agentic AI which ultimately comes down to providing you with a tool for *YOU* to build what *YOU* want.

Cool story but that has nothing to do with TFA or TFS which is talking about Agentic AI.

No, that's your mass media spoonfed knowledge of AI in its current form. Actual AI in its current form is fucking amazing for special purpose applications. Noise reduction, image processing, image generation, agents for comparing or mass execution of specific tasks, feeding historical operating data into neural nets to predict future outcomes, IT FUCKING DRIVES CARS, it's mind-blowingly amazing. You did such a great job starting by calling out LLMs specifically (even if that's not what this article is about), and then you threw it all away by generalising and calling it "AI in its current form.

Also LLMs are too amazing when you use them for something other than a random bullshit generator. They translate text in context better than any other tool every created, they underpin comparisons of documents, and because they are effectively a language processor they have the power to provide you, an end user, the ability to create a context based search for virtually anything.

Except that's a strange fantasy some people live in. Who said anything about control over your life, or wholesale? 99.9% of AI products out there are merely "assistants" and don't fundamentally control anything. More over precisely no one has created a product that does this wholesale.

I find it hilarious reading the comments here on this article in particular as agentic AI is actually *useful* among a cesspool of shit that is generic LLM bullshit. It's little more than the concept of Macros which can actually save a heap of work.

I'm a globally AI naysayer. Its' good only for generating stupid pictures. ... except for the few AI agents I've set up for my work. Despite the initial CoPilot agent training being a disaster.
