Hello @edusky.bsky.social, for the first time πŸ‘‹

I keep returning to #SAMR when reflecting on the impact of #AI on teaching and learning… in short, when used in the classroom, AI has to add value, transforming the learning experience. #EduSky

I'll add that this is becoming an annual theme.

Multiple sources are now reporting LLMs aren't scaling as hopedβ€”larger datasets and more compute aren't improving AI systems as fast.

The companies, naturally, are pressing on, calling for billions more in investment. One way to read this: The hope is to make AI too big to fail.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes β€” so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Oh - and Google's search ecosystem still returns a top result saying that eating rocks is healthy.

β€œAI made me basic” – Still Water Lab

I think about and grapple with #generativeAI a lot. An issue I worry about is that we can't adequately develop processes for using a new technology until we clearly understand its limitations without virtue signaling our alignment either "pro" or "against" it. blog.still-water.net/ai-made-me-b...

Challenging The Myths of Generative AI | TechPolicy.Press Eryk Salvaggio says we must dispense with myths if we are to think more clearly about what AI actually is and does.

This is one of my favorite articles on generative AI, in which Eryk Salvaggio unpacks how we're talking about it, who's providing that language, and what it all means. www.techpolicy.press/challenging-...

Are those clients aware how inaccurate those AI detectors are? (so sorry you went through this)
