As AI Throws Education Into Chaos, OpenAI Introduces ‘Study Mode’ to Help Students ‘Learn’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-23 22:18:43

AI has been blamed for a tsunami of cheating that’s taken hold in the U.S. educational system in recent years. Just this week, I interviewed a college professor who explained how bad it’s gotten lately—particularly when it comes to AI-generated essay writing. Now, one of the heavy hitters of the AI industry, OpenAI, says it is launching a tool designed to help students learn stuff instead of just passively accepting dubious information delivered by a chatbot. “Today we’re introducing study mode

Playing with more user-friendly methods for multi-factor authentication

When I tell people I work on authentication software, I nearly always hear some version of the same story: I hate multifactor authentication. No, really. People hate this stuff. So I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can make MFA a better user experience. We don't always need MFA to be airtight, after all. Sometimes, the Google match-a-number MFA flow is good enough. I thought I'd share here my best ideas for the future of multi-factor authentication. Here they are. The big blind We

Learning Is Slower Than You Think

It was just a question over breakfast. “What’s a metaphor?” Mira asked her father, spoon halfway to her mouth. He began to explain, but she interrupted: “So it’s when something isn’t what it is—but also is?” There was a silence at the table—not confusion, but recognition. She had already touched it, before any definition arrived. Before a lesson plan or rubric could intervene. That moment—so small, so ordinary—was also everything.

The Full ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ Trailer Shows a Whole New Side of the MCU

This week, Marvel fans get to return to Wakanda, and it looks like it’s going to be a very action-packed ride. Marvel Studios just released a full trailer for Eyes of Wakanda, the Ryan Coogler-produced series that’s set for release on Disney+ August 1. And it shows not just all new characters and places; it shows a few characters we are very, very familiar with. Characters like the Black Panther themselves.
