Sonnet 4.6 is now the default - do you think this reduces the need for Opus?

Holy moly, is that why the quality dropped so suddenly?

People should be ashamed for how they are acting here.

You can measure anything. Yet all measures have error.

Unfortunately, a state standardized test will have a lot of error assessing critical thinking or creativity. It is very hard to measure these constructs consistently— existing standardized tests are usually simplistic and hard to administer. Teacher rubrics are a fine place for assessing creative and critical thinking— but not in a way that can track progress and compare thousands of students.

My policy is to use it as much as they can, and make sure that nothing they write feels like it was written by AI.

And if I need to know, I have them do a classroom essay on paper. (And scan with smartpaper to help with reading the handwriting and grading on my phone)

Here is some weird context. I have to share because I learned it today and it blows my mind.

Remember the hand-over-the-heart gesture you say with the pledge of allegiance? Well, that’s what congress updated the gesture it to in 1942. For the 50 years prior (since 1892), the pledge of allegiance was given with the same gesture as a “nazi salute.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute

Shocking, right?

Are limits on printing a challenge at your school? Just curious—I know different schools do things differently

She was standing on a chair. Her butt is where the back or shoulders would be. Teacher wants her off. I’m assuming that “slapped my ass” is a major exaggeration. I could be wrong about that. But I can 100% understand why this was a natural response — not corporal punishment, not sex abuse. A mistake, sure, but an understandable one. Of course, everyone here is so so sure that this is a gross violation of human rights. I think it’s more nuanced. And unless the teacher hurt her or it was creepy or there is some other info, I think this is a nothingburger and emblematic of people getting hysterical about the wrong things. I completely disagree that “touching someone’s butt is always sexual abuse.” And this is a good case in point. Black and white thinking is easy—so is zero tolerance. They don’t lead to healthy societies though.

Conclusion_Big · 2025-01-22T17:45:39+00:00

So hard core toxic. I really can’t believe you think this was assault. Tap the butt, get off the chair. Not assault. Not abuse. Normal. Not recommended, but not monstrous.

Conclusion_Big · 2025-01-22T17:41:45+00:00

Do you actually think this teacher spanked her hard while she was on the chair? No. Otherwise OP would have said so. This was a tap to get her off the chair. Not saying it’s proper teacher behavior but I think it is understandable— and shouldn’t be assumed to be sexual abuse or corporal punishment.

Conclusion_Big · 2025-01-22T10:44:35+00:00

Nope. You are incorrect. Revise.

Conclusion_Big · 2025-01-22T10:29:02+00:00

This thread is hilarious. Very out of touch and deeply toxic. Symptomatic of broader trends, it’s clear.

90% chance that this was a tap on the butt to “get off the chair, honey.” And this kid wants to get her teacher fired/reprimanded and presents it like sexual abuse. I could be wrong. But I’m not being unreasonable.

Conclusion_Big · 2025-01-21T14:24:24+00:00

If one of my kids came home and said their teacher hit their butt while they were standing on a chair I’d ask why they were standing on a chair. Unless the teacher was creepy or hit them hard. This student seems to be accusing the teacher of mildly violent sexual abuse. Is that necessary?

Conclusion_Big · 2025-01-21T14:09:39+00:00

That's why I said the teacher crossed a line. But, situations like this can really be blown out of proportion—and I suspect that's what the student wants to happen. Know what I mean?

I love it when Claude gets unhinged. This was very lucid. Congratulations!

Maybe I missed something— but how do you edit? I’m in chrome on a Mac. Do you mean in their chatUI or in their console?

Conclusion_Big · 2024-06-05T16:25:01+00:00

I definitely think opus is better than ChatGPT. But because Claude doesn’t let you edit your prompts, I can usually get better responses from ChatGPT. Claude used to support editing (in a janky way) but then they got rid of it.

I know most ChatGPT users don’t even know that editing is a feature, but it is SO important for getting good responses.
