#China may be pushing #AI #education, but it's drawing the line at students using it to #cheat on tests.
This is total #nonsense, because a meaningful test would check whether the students can use AI in a meaningful way in the exam.

The increased rate of global #warming has shocked even the experts. Global temperatures in 2023, 2024 and 2025 so far has shattered previous records, and not by a little. Scientists have long known that #greenhouse gas #emissions are driving global warming, but the recent spike is faster and larger than anyone expected. Something is accelerating climate change, and we don’t fully understand what it is.
