Can’t be bothered paying our teachers a good livable salary, so we need to implement a 2hr a day AI school. Fuck this.

Then, instead of hiring teachers, you can hire unqualified babysitters. Pay them nothing, and there’s no need to comply with IDEA, IEPs, unions…

There was something of an earlier effort to do MOOCs. My impression is that they didn’t take off, because I stopped hearing about them. But I don’t really follow current education, so…

I think that at some point, dramatic improvements to education are probably doable, and that we probably have the technology today.

But I’m kind of skeptical that AI is really the missing piece, at least given the state that it’s in today.

defusing bombs in VR

Someone has a virtual copy of “Keep talking and nobody explodes” and a Quest headset and by jobe they are going to use it.

“By Jove.”

Sounds like someone needs to go back to AI school. (/j)

I feel bad for the kids put through this hell

They will be happy with no teachers, oblivious to how much wrong they are being taught before it’s too late.

The AI will be used to indoctrinate. I guarantee it.

Just when you thought Pennsylvania couldn’t suck any more. If it wasn’t for the Eagles, there’d be no good news from PA.

Educating the people is fundamental to a democratic society. Every time you see education under attack, it’s people trying to pacify the electorate.

AI is going to damage their perception of reality. I got snagged by some AI bait about great white sharks (I’m a bit of a shark nerd). The article had AI generated images of great white sharks, captioned as *great white sharks in blank scenario". None of the sharks were actually Great Whites, they were tiger and bull sharks stretched and stitched together to make what ChatGPT thinks a great white looks like. The sharks were all in situations that were either physically impossible, or behaviorally wrong for great white sharks. Articles like that are dangerous, and they are going to warp perception about what a shark looks like, and what a shark does. If you think it’s harmless, imagine a similar article about venomous snakes, or edible mushrooms, where all the identification images are AI generated.
