If the technology is based off work that's been stolen from other people, there's an good argument that using it is always cheating.

People are being encouraged to have tech constantly interfere with their relationship with their kids, and it's so sad.

Do any of these people enjoy reading fiction? I think there are people who don't care whether things are any good because they don't want to take the time to enjoy good things. I guarantee you plenty of them will accuse you of poor prompt engineering if you tell them the machine produces garbage.

That tech analyst was right. Some turns of phrase are "genuinely surprising".

We have our Read-a-Thon this week!

Thanks for the share. I'm thinking it might be a good thing for my students to look at (at least the first section) as we study different sociotechnical myths.

I think the concept of "prompt engineering" is intended to make the user think they are responsible for (and have ultimate control over) the output of the system, when they obviously don't. The whole thing is a shell game on so many levels.

I know this sounds weird, but I'm kind of jealous. It was 85F/30C here this past weekend, and I'd love to see some autumn, let alone winter.

I was just being silly. No disrespect to anyone intended.

Comedy gold.

What I mean to say is that I think it's less about what makes teaching and learning effective and more about reimagining education as an individual pursuit best done in isolation from the rest of the community. This may be kind of what you're saying, but maybe cause/effect reversed?

The idea is to take the entire educational infrastructure and reimagine it around a consumer product, framing that as personal liberation. This is also why transportation in the US is such a nightmare.

I don't think a 10 minute assessment immediately after an hour-long lesson can measure the type of learning that most educators hope for their students.

For me, I think it's less about subject expertise and more about instructional design. Tutors explain things, identify and correct misconceptions, etc., but teachers also need to design and implement learning experiences that will work for larger groups, manage classroom dynamics, structure units.

We do ticket/tow, but far be it from me to disrespect cultural differences.

Serious question: is this actually legal there? It's against the law to block a public right of way here.

All that infrastructure they're building out for this AGI pipe dream could actually be really good at doing a surveillance state.

This is great. I was also able to share with the environmental science teacher here. Thanks!
