Working on an A.I. policy for my calculus classes. Decided to be upfront about the current situation with LLMs and to give a heartfelt explanation for why the course still matters.

Al policy

Context

Artificial Intelligence, or "A.l.," Is a broad term used to refer to several different kinds of technologies. The kind most relevant to this class are Large Language Models (LLMs), which use mathematics to analyze large amounts of human-produced text and then generate new text that simulates what a human might write in response to prompts or questions. Some examples of LLMs are OpenAl's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini.

Current LLMs can provide a solution to any calculus problem I give you. So why should we work on them, you might ask? Here's the thing: for the most part, the problems were already solved anyway. Calculus as a subject is nearly 400 years old. It has reached into virtually every modern scientific and economic field. And while I would like to believe that I have crafted a few new problems with some small amount of originality tailored to this class, for the most part I have curated a collection of exercises drawn from my years of teaching calculus. Those exercises come from textbooks, workshops, friends, and other fields of study, as well as my own invention.
And they nearly all have known solutions, often with fairly standard approaches.
Before A.I. became widely available, you could find those solutions in another textbook, or from a friend's notes, or through a repository on the internet.

The point of this class is not necessarily to solve problems that have never been solved before. It is for you to develop habits of thinking that are used by mathematicians, scientists, and policymakers-to develop a sort of mental toolbox that can be applied to new problems. If along the way you happen to find a new way of solving one of the class exercises, that's great! I am constantly learning new things from my students. But you will be bereft of discovery if you rely on a LLM for solutions to the calculus problems before you. Here I mean the discovery of having your own realizations, crystallizing your own internal understanding, claiming the knowledge in a way that cannot be taken away from you.
That ownership is what I want for you, and that is what the course is built around.

I could implement new things in a week, or spend 2-3 weeks re-making old code so i can spend just a couple of days to make the same thing. Now its time for the spell objects 🌟 You can join the playtest and the discord to try to stop me if you want Just one more refactor i swear

I'm spawning 2700 spells in a single frame (literally the maximum possible right now) and now the game does not crash nor freezes. I get a huge spike but lasts 100ms so I'll consider this a very big improvement. I'll need to spread the spell spawns over some frames but I'll call that a win for now🧙‍♀️

I think I've finished the workshop refactor... It took about 25 days but was 100% worth it. See how happy this lil guy is:

Spent too much time on a Reddit answer asking for advice on level design, but I'm too lazy to make a blog post, so please enjoy my thoughts on how to have fun designing levels when you're not a pro at it yet 😌 #GameDev #LevelDesign

I've actually been deep in the level design mines myself this week (I'm normally a programmer), and here's a piece of advice I learned from a level design lecture a long time ago:

When designing levels, most people approach them backward. They put an exit somewhere, move some chairs around to make it difficult to beeline for said exit, sprinkle in some enemies or pick-ups, and call it a day. This makes for boring level design, and it makes it hard to see how your level fits on the intended difficulty curve. What you want to do instead is design forward.

Place your character in an empty room. They can move around, and maybe shoot the empty void. How can you make it more interesting? You can put an enemy next to them. Not super fun yet, but it's a start. Okay, how many enemies can you put in there before it becomes overwhelming? Hmm... around 10. Okay, what if I put a wall there to split them up?

And that's it! That's the whole trick!! You try something in your level, you press play, and you actually play it. You do that over and over again until you know exactly what makes for a fun level. Because you're playing the level while designing it and changing it if you find it boring. And this part is really, really important, so I'll bold it too: Do not change your mechanics!

It is extremely tempting to think: "Oh, but my level would be so much more fun if you could jump two tiles instead of one..." No! Bad programmer!! As much as possible, stick with the limitations you've set for yourself. Because every time you change a mechanic, you invalidate aallIII the levels you've built so far. Yes, all of them.

So we got a big wave of new players in the playtest and now I have x3 the work I had a week ago, counting bug reports and general improvements. I am so happy, but now the idea of going full-time dev is growing even more each day 🧙‍♂️ Also this week we set a new record for concurrent players 🌟
