A committee of professors and students spent 5 months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

⭕ Study groups are disappearing.

⭕ Office hours are emptying out.

⭕ Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum.

⭕ Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.

The committee warns MIT professors against replacing undergraduate research assistants with AI agents just because they’re cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.

      Oh I might be as well. I already have a partially titanium and bone leg. IM rod. And to lessen the pain; I’m thinking of getting something that’s like a Sandevistan. As in strands implanted in my spine with an electronic controller … that well I plan to hack. Who knows how that will work out but I’m also pretty dumb.

        I am afraid that will be as proprietary as a HP printer cartridge.

        …Not that it wouldn’t be fun to try the hack.

          It’s not like I haven’t reverse engineered stuff before lol. I would share it. The only scary part is that well it’s modding your body. Kinda like the old school EEG stuff you can build at home, could kill you if you made a mistake.
