> YOU CAN FIX THIS!

What is "THIS"? I guess, it is the problem you had, https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=468310#p1897060, right?

Glad that you could solve your problem. But that doesn't mean it will solve Alžbeta's problem https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=468310#p1899225. You are talking about the question type "random" which should have been deleted a long time ago, I think in the transition from 4.1 to 4.2.

 

Or in other words, the exploding question banks have (had) multiple causes. From what I read, at least one cause is still in 4.5. Only 5.1 is fully fixed.

I can confirm first-hand what Emma said: Moodle 4 is known for duplicating questions exponentially. See also the numerous discussions in this forum.

 

But what surprises me is, that the problem still exists in Moodle 4.5. What is the exact release of your Moodle 4.5.x?

Have you seen a rock rolling upward? Nothing improves on its own!

Counter intuitively, you don't need to mobilize armies to fight the BIG - the kind of BIG we are talking about. They are BIG as long as they have enough SMALL in their grip. Leave them, there'll be nothing left to fall.

Isn't is ironical, asked about "your feelings" you delegate it an LLM?

 

Maybe our feelings are ultimately that of these models, or, if we want to think positive, we can argue that the models inherited their "feelings" from us! Whatever, I value _your_ feelings more than a collective conscience (con-science?) of humanity, as sucked by these agents.

More scary is how the web reads our minds. After reading your post I opened YouTube and it greeted me with this: LINUS TORVALDS WAS RIGHT ABOUT MICROSOFT BUT NOBODY LISTENED.... - just one day ago, 250 k views, no idea (highly likely) that it is AI-generated.

 

I know, I know, in an argument over feelings, there are no winners - exactly that makes the discussion exciting. But one thing is factual - for me at least - the centralization, the world-wide code base in one place, and in the vaults of a US BIG TECH of all places.
