The only one actually relevant to “cognitive decline” is the second, do we know what the math questions actually were?

Also I wasn’t making an anology, I’m seriously asking if we’d see the same drop-off, as I think the root of the problem is moreso that humans will generally choose to use less effort rather then more, so any tool that reduces effort might see the same amount of drop off in end result when taken away.

Going with analogies though, people having cars mean less people learning about/using horses/carriages/bikes and as cars are increasingly more complex and less repairable, less people put in the effort to learn how to fix them if something goes wrong.

Ultimately though I have to wonder what does that really matter in the long term? Did people stop doing/understanding math once calculators became common?

One of the points the paper makes is people who used it to help rather then solve the problem for them performed better once it was taken away, which adheres with my own observations on how people use certain tools vs seek to understand how those tool work and deeper their understanding. However again, is it really a problem that a majority of Americans (for example) don’t know how to change the oil on their car? Does that actually indicate they’re less intelligent or unable to rationalize/logically process information? Or do they generally put the effort that would be put into learning how their car works into other efforts.

Unfortunately I think many are simply too burned out with day to day life to care about much learning at all, which is a much larger issue IMO.

Though I will say I do think AI/LLMs will only reinforce that behavior, I’m not sure if that’ll be all bad or really all that different then the existing status quo prior to their spread.

Edit: We could talk about the economic impact it will have, but the root cause is the same as all the other wealth inequality, and I can easily forsee how LLMs could be much more equitable rather then used as vehicles for enrichment.

On the math test, I’d be curious if a calculator was provided instead then taken away half-way through. Would we see the same drop off?

That’s the vista start button lul

You’d almost certainly know a stonetoss comic, they were pretty common over the last decade or so.

You can do it locally now pretty easily depending on your use ass and hardware, huggingface has all the models you’d need and use something like llama-swap

See and that’s what I’ve heard a lot of for the past like decade, but I really wasn’t sure how true that is lol

Lol why downvote I haven’t bought a console since x360 I’m literally just asking

But everyone on Lemmy said LLMs had no usecases

Genuine question, are literally any PS5 gamed actually physically on the disk fully?

But they also should visit and be able to interact with prisons lmao.

Lmao e/OS CEO says a thing, someone inevitably in the comments, “How could GrapheneOS do this!”

I thought Samsung stock was better because of Knox et all

You don’t think they’d happily target Lemmy if it were larger? It’s still “social media” to them

At this point people should know to lock their beth games to not update automatically, learned that lesson years ago lol.

But yes it would be nice if they made it easier to roll back to the last version like most other games lol

I can’t disagree with you, Bethesda gamers are the worst about it I think, like Fallout 4 got an update recently and everyone was PISSED.

Like just don’t accept the update or roll back, we should be happy new stuff is still happening on a decade old game.

It was very very buggy.

I highly doubt it’s just that, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the devs who actually put in all the work upfront have left or been removed. See the same shit at Google, remember when it was actually a good search engine? Priorities shifted to making money above all else instead of making good products.

Except I’m sure they’d charge out the ass and they don’t seem to put any effort into gaming 🤷

I started with Visual Studio at work, and I just love VSCode by comparison, idk why but it feels so much easier to work with after I got the hang of it.

Why did you call them LAMP?
