Communicating in a clear unambiguous way doesn't actually help with using llms.

>>"Can LLMs provide access to timely constructive feedback in specific educational contexts?"

"Can they" is not the same as "do they" and "specific educational contexts" is not relevant to "all educators"

Is it possible to get constructive feedback? sure, maybe. Is it possible to get a specific teacher's feedback? Not really. Is it possible to guarantee it will be productive feedback? No, especially if the student has to/gets to interact with it.

Is it likely that the reason "all educators" aren't tripping over themselves to have their students submit some number of drafts to an llm is because that's not actually a good idea? sure, probably.

>>It doesn't mean they shut their own brains down, or that they are suggesting that students do so

It doesn't not mean that either.

the whole "not being an automatable remote sql injection away from everything" quality of physical objects grants a filing cabinet a tremendous amount of inherent security compared to anything digital.

That's the thing though, I do doubt that. Surveillance that you don't need a warrant to put in front of a jury is a perfect thing to use for the ostensibly-legal construction in parallel construction.

That seems like a lot of effort when you can just take the license plate off and if you're really worried print off a convincing temporary license and tape in the back window.

That's not what that says though.

>technology and professional analysts with helping detectives make arrests in 53%

"technology and analysts" "help" "make arrests" not surveillance, not convictions and only the implication that they wouldn't have made the arrest otherwise.

Like look at the example: somebody calls in an OD and a guy sees that the dude ODing matches (the clothing of) a suspect in some other crime and so they arrest him.

Once again an arrest is not a conviction but also what part of that needed/used pervasive surveillance?

ALSO a conviction is not the same thing as truth.

ALSO ALSO by basic subtraction the panopticon wasn't even helpful 47% of the time.

>>Flock and law enforcement regularly cite documented cases where LPR helped solve violent crimes, recover stolen vehicles, and locate missing persons. Those outcomes are real.

My opposition wouldn't change regardless but are those outcomes real?

Well the screw worm thing happened because Elon Musk hired a bunch of twitter nazis to put the government through a wood chipper.

This is the end result of decades snake oil moguls empowered by orin hatch and then turbo charged by people being furious that they weren't allowed to go to TGI Fridays for six months.
