Elon Musk pushes xAI to be "unhinged," NSFW, former employees say - via eWeek - www.eweek.com/news/elon-mu...

Wow, Elon Musk sure does like White people | Opinion Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a guy whose social media platform most companies still use, is a BIG fan of White people. Problematically so.

Elon Musk is incessantly promoting vile white supremacy. Why is anyone - and certainly any company - still on X?

critical AI literacy.

Here’s a link to a course that the government are promoting to help primary school teachers make the most of AI. Looking at the details of the course, I’m getting concerned that the updated DCF will be more focused on using this tech and little on

input from the education sector whether this is wanted or even appropriate for our learners or teachers. The social, intellectual and environmental impacts of this technology are noticeable by their absence.

This article has put into words how I’m feeling about narrative from the Welsh Government for the use of generative AI in schools. It feels like they have already decided that this is the ‘future’, one which both teachers and pupils will have to embrace. With as far as I can see, almost zero…

“It also frames people as either consumers or producers, leaving them no room to be resisters or avoiders, or to consider whether an AI-assisted approach to a task is appropriate, beneficial and without social or environmental impacts.” 👏🏻
This is my worry with where we are heading with edu in Wales.

My employer just sent out training material on AI Integration and in addition to the wonderful definition of the term "Hallucination" in regards to AI, it also repeatedly stressed everything would be reviewed and overseen by Humans. So we're just adding another layer of complexity for no benefit.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Text from a UK government education blog. Will teachers be replaced by Al? Absolutely not. Teachers are irreplaceable, and Al could never be a substitute for teachers' professional judgement and the personal relationships they have with their students. We're developing Al tools specifically to support teachers, not to replace the unique role they play in education. These tools are designed to handle repetitive tasks that currently take teachers' energy away from face to face classroom interactions.

Doesn’t this AI tutoring project contradict what was written in this blog from the government in June 2025?

I’ve read the gov press release a couple of times but I’m still a little unclear. This is an AI tutoring tool that will be used by the learner from home? They say that it won’t replace “face to face teaching” but isn’t that exactly what they are doing? Am I missing something obvious here? 🫤

Mobile Phones in Schools are Bad, But AI Learning Tools are "Different" A blog post questioning Bridget Phillipson's statement about mobile phones having no place in schools and how AI learning tools are "different".

My thoughts about Bridget Phillipson's recent statement that "mobile phones have no place in our schools, but AI learning tools are different." Looking forward to writing about the AI tutoring tool that they are trialling in schools in the summer.

For what it's worth, I thought I'd share my edtech blog with you. I find that writing a blog often helps in forming, articulating and reflecting on the things that I'm currently thinking about, reading or have observed.
