Bernhard Voelkl @bernhardvoelkl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Very strange: this huge drop between "never or almost never" and "once or twice per year". For a tech that is now around for 4 years, what is the difference in absolute numbers between those two? 3x= "almost never", 4x= once per year? Peeking 1+ time into DeepSeek and your PISA score tumble. 100
