Syntactically correct non-ideas...

Yes, that's the one. Sorry, I should've said "BTW". In hindsight, I can see how that may have come off aggressive.

FYI, you are one of the academics whose work influenced this workshop. The collaboration with the high school humanities teacher resulted in me sharing the CAIL paper/framework with her, which she wanted to use with her older students.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to share and for providing the types of resources and community support that made it possible to bring something like this to my school.

They are cosplaying as educators for their own benefit.

Counterpoint: How can you NOT criticize him after everything he's done?

I don't understand how ChatGPT can be considered a "source". How do you trace back to determine whether the information is accurate/reliable? (This isn't a rhetorical question. I'm wondering how this is approached in places it's allowed.)

Yes, and there's often an uncanny valley feeling in my stomach. That "something's not right" horror, even though it's just text. I think it comes from the dissonance of trying to reconstruct meaning that was never there.

My hometown has a theme song!

If Trump thinks the pope is too woke and soft on crime wait til he hears about Jesus

Quote from NYT: 'Mr. Laverty has about four or five agents — he lost count — controlling parts of his life. They all answer to one “god agent” that...'

If you can no longer count to five, you need to start seriously reflecting on the cognitive impact of these tools.

I wonder whether anyone in this thread has a recommendation for a good book about the Luddite movement and how it might be relevant to current events... 🤣

No, but the story was featured in Blown to Bits, which was the textbook for Beauty and Joy of Computing, a major curriculum for the original AP Computer Science Principles course, at the national level.

I think they eventually did, but the situation at the time was ironic. It was not just about hardware, iirc. I think there was also something about the formatting that has been lost. The story is in "Blown to Bits"

How many times will we listen to the same people insist they will "revolutionize" education with some tech product?

Ugh, they certainly should not be doing that, sorry. They tried to do that with one of my kids, but luckily I was able to get them to stop. I was so furious.

If this is a public school in the USA, there's a chance they will label everyone they can for as long a they can, so they can get the extra federal funding.

Remember BBC's Domesday project? The new, digital version of a 900 year old book lasted...15 years.

They're trying to do enclosure on our minds, taking every thought we've ever freely shared with each other, privatizing it, and renting it back out to us.

"It is not about whether AI will help itself to your job. It is about whether the people who make AI are helping themselves to your country."

What about it hasn't weathered well?

I'm looking for books that she the history of CS and how our understanding and implementation of different computing technologies have changed over time.

Parroting tech industry talking points is not "education" or "literacy". I love how this chart gives us context for industry terms, refusing to adopt the language uncritically.

Attending to the ideological nature of context and learning should also include, IMO, the ideology of those producing AI technologies and AI technologies' historical and ongoing enmeshment with militarism and state violence.

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization A new analysis commissioned by The New York Times suggests that Google's AI Overviews are wrong an astonishing percentage of the time.

Google’s AI Overviews are providing “tens of millions of wrong answers … every hour — and hundreds of thousands every minute.”

wow, i love the AI future!

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

Given the religious fervor over "artificial superintelligence", I'm gonna go with data seminary.

They're so AI-pilled they don't realize they just reinvented a library and a sign out sheet.

Finally, a way to generate a spreadsheet of my student bathroom use, all with the help of ChatGPT. This is so much more sophisticated than my dumb, "sign in and out at the door," method. And it helpfully incorporates apps, codes, scanners, and email. ✨ The future is now. ✨
