Harvard just proved AI tutors beat classrooms. Now what?

Looking for some advice and different opinions. I have been following the AI in education space for a while and wanted to share some research that's been on my mind. Harvard researchers ran a randomized controlled trial (N=194) comparing physics students learning from an AI tutor vs an active learning classroom. Published in Nature Scientific Reports in June 2025. Results: AI group more than doubled their learning gains. Spent less time. Reported feeling more engaged and motivated. Important note: This wasn't just ChatGPT. They engineered the AI to follow pedagogical best practices - scaffolding, cognitive load management, immediate personalized feedback, self-pacing. The kind of teaching that doesn't scale with one human and 30 students. Now here's where it gets interesting (and concernin...

Is Gemini CLI in VS acting up for you guys too?

I’m using Gemini CLI in VS and it’s really slow. Whenever a task is a bit longer (about half of Claude’s capacity), the code generation breaks. Is it just me, or are you guys having the same problem? Obs: I am using Debian 13 in a X99 32gb ram, nvidia 3060 with intel V4 2680. The Linux has zero problem and can face more intensive tasks easily. submitted by /u/United_Custard_4446 [link] [comments]

Dumb Question

I am pretty overwhelmed by AI and how it's in every app I use. I don't like that my data is being collected. Does anyone have any suggestions to stay away from AI? I think I have to give up my phone use completely. submitted by /u/lamelameloser [link] [comments]

Superman is fun! I'm glad we have imaginations. But are people operating inside symbolic systems that no longer answer to the physical world? I'm 44. All growing up I thought "wow" adults and scientists and everyone is so official and smart. One day, I'll be like that. Now I meet 25 year old doctors and people in charge of huge education institutions. They're just people. Some are wise. Some are totally out there and obsessed with things most of us don't agree on. And a lot of them don't seem very worried about maintaining ...

I figured out how to completely bypass Nano Banana Pro’s invisible watermark with diffusion-based post processing.

I’ve been doing AI safety research on the robustness of digital watermarking for AI images, focusing on Google DeepMind’s SynthID (as used in Nano Banana Pro). In my testing, I found that diffusion-based post-processing can disrupt SynthID in a way that makes common detection checks fail, while largely preserving the image’s visible content. I’ve documented before/after examples and detection screenshots showing the watermark being detected pre-processing and not detected after. Why share this? This is a responsible disclosure project. The goal is to move the conversation forward on how we can build truly robust watermarking that can't be scrubbed away by simple re-diffusion. I’m calling on the community to test these workflows and help develop more resilient detection methods. Repo (wri...
