I am working on an informal research project to see how AI could be used in a beginner’s Java course. I believe it could be an excellent learning tool and not just something you can have do your work for you. If you have any thoughts or ideas on this topic then please reach out to me.

Time to pull my head out of the sand and explore the universe of AI for software development. I just looked at Claude's web page and it's pricing, $23 monthly on an annual contract, is doable. But is it the best choice?

The other day I was told that they used multiple AIs in their job, each for a different purpose such as for coding, testing, CI/CD, and cleaning the bathroom, well maybe not the last one, yet. I want to explore code quality and how it could be used in education.

What are the limitations in low-cost personal plans? How could an AI be integrated into teaching programming on day one? This will be a research project. Suggestions?

If LLMs are trained from software in public repositories, most of which is sketchy (I know this because I have a lot of software in public repos), heaven help us.

How do you know that there is nothing on TV or Streaming? When you have been watching the splashdown and recovery of the Artemis II capsule since 6:45. It’s 9:38 now. Astronauts just emerging.
