summary
A platform called Cognimates platform modifies Scratch to give an infinitely patient socratic AI tutor that launches questions instead of answers; it runs in multiple languages, was evaluated with kids in 15 countries and doubled programming time per parent reports. A math tutor uses a public 55-misconceptions benchmark to diagnose errors, produce targeted practice and reports, and was tested with Tokyo students. Claims: 46% drop in UK entry-level tech hiring, 74% of tech pros update skills yearly, maintainers report overload and jagged intelligence complicates newcomer learning.
