Just a reminder, for everyone that signed up for the intro to AI class, it's started.

Psy-Kosh

They're still working out kinks in the site, and no homework is up yet, but the initial set of lectures (really really basic "what is AI/welcome to the first day of class" type stuff is up), so if you signed up, then sign in and hopefully the site will work for you.

Here you go: http://www.ai-class.com/

"We've had an absolutely massive surge of last-minute homework submissions" - how surprising!

"The massive crush of students trying to do homework at the last minute exceeded all of our expectations, and the expectations of our servers. To compensate those who have had difficulty accessing the site today we have moved the deadline by 24 hours."

That figures.

I find the recursiveness kinda hilarious actually.

What's even more (pseudo-)surprising/depressing is that, at least according to this thread and subthread, only 1,000 people completed the first homework, out of the ~150k who signed up. A commenter suggested that this is reasonable considering the wide net they cast for the course compared to the math pre-requisites, and the normal compsci class dropout rate (which increases for large classes).
