Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
I actually don't really care if AI is useful/interesting/good for some things in education actually - it is besides these things clearly a big problem already that maybe need listing yet again:

3 Dinge, die mich an der heutigen Umsetzung von KI stören:
1.) KI-Angebote, nach denen niemand gefragt hat & die oft von der eigentlichen Funktionalität eines Dienstes ablenken
zB: Nein, Adobe, ich will das PDF einfach nur lesen. Ich brauche kein nerviges Popup, ob ich eine KI-Zusammenfassung will
1-Minute Read. Social & Emotional Learning. Why Students Avoid Asking Questions—and How to Change Their Minds. Adapted from: 6 Essential Student Mindsets to Work On This Year
Academic peer pressure arises early: Children as young as 7 years old “begin to connect asking for help w/ looking incompetent in front of others,” researchers concluded in a 2021 study.
But fear of looking dumb is often just half of a reticent student’s calculation.
🧵1/8 #EduSky
About 70 moms and dads gathered Tuesday at Alpha School in the Marina District to hear a sales pitch for why they should drop $75,000 a year per kid on an education that sounds like the plot line of a “Black Mirror” episode. Alpha School’s promise is bold and not backed by evidence: Just two hours of academic work per day, with the rest of the day spent developing “life skills,” from building a sailboat to managing an AirBnB to traveling internationally. The school’s founders, podcaster MacKenzie Price and her tech executive husband, Andrew, make incredible claims, such as that Alpha students learn 10 times faster than those in traditional education — with the use of AI only. One mother asked the K-8 school’s principal, the Trilogy Software founder, investor, and multibillionaire Joe Liemandt, how children can learn virtues and values from a computer.
