An extraordinary thread about a distressing case involving a dead child and his clearly demented mother.

AI, fuck yeah: Students in Texas taking their state-mandated exams this week are being used as guinea pigs for a new artificial intelligence-powered scoring system set to replace a majority of human graders in the region.
The Texas Tribune reports an “automated scoring engine” that utilizes natural language processing — the technology that enables chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT to understand and communicate with users — is being rolled out by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to grade open-ended questions on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exams. The agency is expecting the system to save $15–20 million per year by reducing the need for temporary human scorers, with plans to hire under 2,000 graders this year compared to the 6,000 required in 2023.

Texas is replacing thousands of human exam graders with AI

The TEA is adamant that the system doesn’t count as AI, though.

Great, now they're hallucinating test scores.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

I have done test scoring. At the time I was teaching on a per-class contract and a couple of weeks of scoring paid about as much as a semester long class. You get paid per answer you score. Most of the people there were teachers and adjuncts. They need the work because those are horribly paid jobs.

They apparently are not going to run parallel scoring, with AI and humans, across the board for at least three testing periods which is the proper method for implementing a major component overhaul.

When I did scoring in a panel, a percentage of answers were assigned to a second reviewer. They ran regular checks for inter-rater reliability. If a team got too far off between reviewers, they would halt grading and redo the training for the questions. I recall a few people were also sent home because their scores were consistently off from the rest of the panel on the control questions.

(If you don't follow the Show More link, this is Arizona Senator Anthony Kern (R) and his prayer team, praying in tongues for the 1864 law banning nearly all abortion to become law again.)

The question is, why won't these people do something like this during an open session of the legislature? But of course, the answer is because they'd look insane.

Not sure which button to push.

Strange how these people are always spewing about the devil and such, yet they vote for the orange Antichrist and speak in tongues.

Perhaps we need a "Push all buttons" button!

Edit: Huh, that didn't work quite right. Basically, Lauren Boebert's son has been arraigned for multiple vehicle break-ins, and told the judge he can't afford a lawyer. I guess that family sending all their money to Trump isn't working out so well.

I assume this was a part time gig if they were only paying graders $5000 each max. (20 mil savings divided by 4000 less graders)

GOP lawmaker says first-cousins should be allowed to marry because gays are - LGBTQ Nation

His parents were first-cousins.

www.lgbtqnation.com

Far-right Republican Rep. Gino Bulso held up a bill in the Tennessee legislature on Thursday that would have outlawed first cousin marriage with a surprising argument: if gay first cousins can get married, why not straight ones?

“Is there a public health issue with a male marrying a male first cousin? Obviously, I think the answer is no,” Bulso said, as his fellow lawmakers looked on slack-jawed.

Did he drop his mic at that point?
