Comment Cheat sheets (Score 4, Insightful) 43

The best protection against cheating is to test for application of knowledge, not for knowledge. Give them an LLM. Give them Wikipedia. Give them all the resources they'll have in the wild, then judge the output on quality. This does enormously increase the difficulty of grading and make it somewhat more subjective, but that's the tradeoff and it's necessary.

The second best protection is to allow students to prepare an index card ahead of time and put whatever they want on it. It really works for getting them to focus on the test, to remember material, and to spend time, effort and thought on it.

The real invasion of privacy -- aside from traffic cams, three letter agencies hoovering up everything that passes through fiber, parallel construction, abuse of the interstate commerce law, permanent emergency bills -- Nevermind. Another invasion of privacy is id.me, wherein to access government services people are forced to send their identity to an unaccountable non-government third party operating under rules not restricted by the constitution.

Comment 1/6th the Cost (Score 2) 57

Grok has started using a "team of experts" approach similar to the lobster. I was skeptical, but the results are enormously better with one LLM handling results from a team. At 1/6 the cost I expect this to result in enormously better overall performance than current top models using a Lobster team.
