Eavesdropping in a coffeeshop, and the guy at the table next to me is talking about how the most-watched videos in prison media rooms are walking tours of major cities, because even just the visual and sonic experience is therapeutic when you don't have freedom of movement. 💔

Do you want children to be completely ill-prepared for understanding social media when they turn 16?
And you know how you enforce it, truly? You ID everyone. It’s totally age verification internet for everyone.

AI in schools is a huge market opportunity for the tech industry, but it's also a massive public problem and requires much better oversight. Our report on this for the National Education Policy Center tried to ring the alarm bell on AI in schools earlier this year nepc.colorado.edu/publication/ai
Honestly, this should be ringing alarm bells everywhere — if OpenAI is successful in this effort, it would mark the biggest intrusion into general education of Silicon Valley yet, giving it power to shape lesson plans and course generation, and locking schools into enterprise contracts.
