¿Cómo habría sido la franja de Frei Bolívar si hubiera tenido acceso a la IA?

Looks like it's going to be a very busy day. Before we get started, Cursor has raised $2.3 billion at a $29.3 billion valuation. This would be over ten times the value they had at the start of the year.

Stop whining. Every position has an advantage. Younger = cutting edge Older = more experience Smaller company = more personalized Bigger company = longer track record Rich = resources to use Broke = nothing to lose You arent limited by your resources, only your resourcefulness

Copywriting pro tip: If you can articulate someone's pain better than they can, they will believe you have the ability to solve it. Focus on their pain, not your pitch.

I keep warning that so many of our systems are still built around the assumption that quality writing and analysis are costly and therefore meaningful signals. Our systems are very much not ready for the revelation that this is no longer true, as this planning objection AI shows

"I had to limit my scope due to time constraints." → Weak. "The 6-month timeline required strategic focus on depth over breadth, which aligns with Smith et al.'s (2023) call for more concentrated phenomenological studies in our field." → Strong.

Based on my experience with LLMs, doing novel science (at least in some fields) seems plausible, but the task of integrating and theorizing across a wide range of knowledge, let alone doing technology transfer to make these ideas into innovations, is further outside the frontier.

Who is going to read thousands of new papers that marginally advance science? Who is going to read thousands of papers that represent genuine breakthroughs in narrow fields? Who will integrate the knowledge? Who is going to build on them? The answer isn't yet "AI will do it all"

If the the predictions that AI will create minor scientific discoveries next year and major ones a couple years later come true, it is worth noting that we have no real mechanism in academia for accommodating, reviewing, processing, and disseminating a sudden increase in science.

You're not getting what you want because you haven't done enough volume to make it unreasonable to not get what you want.

This is a very cool paper. It first shows that first-gen college students don't realize a lot of unwritten rules that lead to success (the value of internships, student clubs, letters from professors). But giving them access to an LLM for guidance significantly closes the gap.

My student Michael Cuna is on the econ job market this year. He has an excellent paper showing the impact of the hidden curriculum on educational outcomes, particularly in the case of first-gen students. The paper also demonstrates the potential for AI tools to close these gaps.…

Of the many processes impacted by AI, innovation/design thinking seems like a key one in need of urgent change. Some aspects remain (building empathy), but many of the constraints change dramatically with AI (as our research shows). Careful thought needed to define a new process.

TL;DR: Harvard Grade Inflation • 60% of Harvard grades are now As (up from 25%) • Faculty see work-grade misalignment • COVID accelerated long-term trends • Student effort hasn't declined Proposed fixes: A+ grades + median grade transparency

Humanities professors report: • Trimming readings • Switching from novels to short stories Many say it's difficult to keep assigning readings because of increased student complaints. Workload data doesn't always match faculty perception.


Martín, Uncover MarCN reposted

Students report spending 6.46 hrs/wk on coursework. That's outside of class. That's up from 5.85 hours in 2015. The problem isn't laziness here. It's systemic grade compression. This obscures real performance differences.
