Back to School in a Rapidly Changing World It’s back-to-school time, which, for millions of families across the country, means a return to bedtimes, shopping for school supplies, and frantic efforts by kids to finish their summer reading. On this episode, we explore how our fast-changing world is transforming learning and life inside the classroom, from the lingering effects of the pandemic, to the impact of generative AI tools, to the pressures of “Ivy League fever.”Interviews with host Maiken Scott:When COVID-19 hit the U.S. in March 2020, schools across the country closed down — and stayed closed — as part of an effort to stem the pandemic’s spread. At the time, it seemed like the right move for public health — but according to investigative reporter David Zweig, the basis for those closures was a lot shakier than the public knew, the benefits less clear, and the impact on kids more profound than we imagined. He joins us to discuss his new book, “An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus and a Story of Bad Decisions.”We talk with education reporter Holly Korbey about how the adoption of new technologies — from Smartboards, to laptops, to ChatGPT — are transforming the classroom, and what science has to say about whether those changes are good or bad for learning. Korbey writes The Bell Ringer, a newsletter on the science of learning.

Alexa Got an A.I. Brain Transplant. How Smart Is It Now? It took Amazon several years to overcome technical hurdles as it remade its voice assistant with new artificial intelligence technology.

Agentic Alexa? @kevinroose concludes: hard to combine generative AI with older, legacy systems — a lesson many companies, both inside and outside tech, are learning the hard way right now — and it’s going to take some time to work out all the kinks www.nytimes.com/2025...

I "feel your pain"😔

I see your point and had not thought about the "counterintuitive" scenarios you posed. I was merely trying to make the point to encourage better work performance and now I'm wondering how much of job losses are motivated more by cost-cutting and not job performance!

Will #AI replace human workers because AI's output is so good or because so many human workers aren't so "good"? Whatever the answer, it's clear marginal performers are most at risk of losing their jobs, isn't it?
