  • There is test-taking software that locks out all other functions during the essay-writing period. Obviously, damn near anything is hackable, but it’s non-trivial, unlike asking ChatGPT to write your essay for you in the style of a B+ high student. There is some concern about students who learn differently or compose less efficiently, but as father to such a student, I’m still getting to the point where I’m not sure what’s left to do other than sandbox “exploitable” graded work in a controlled environment.


  • Yeah, I don’t want to cast aspersions too much. I could see what Gene’s getting at, and it is absolutely literary in a way that not enough sci-fi is, but the mix didn’t work for me, and I just didn’t want to spend time with that crew or see where Severian was going to end up. Or rather, given the narrative’s structure, how he was going to end up where he ends up.
