Thank you, @BryanAlexander Great to catch up after all this time.

[Bryan Alexander @BryanAlexander]

How is the information environment of young people changing, and what does it mean for higher education?

Here is our entire conversation with @AlexGrech from yesterday:

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

Love therapy. Via Meta.

[Nathie 🔜 AWE @NathieVR]

This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

the best so far

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

@acmilan Who cares? Why don't you just concentrate on the important stuff? Like getting into Champions League. And real football. It's with a round ball.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

There's a meaningless claim every second it seems. These stupid times.. and we're only just starting. But hey, it's what drives AI investment, platforms like X.... Online spaces for the new-old public sphere? When did I hear that before? 20 years ago?

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

One thing for sure. Echo chambers will get louder. Filter bubbles will get tighter. World views will get narrower. And disinformation will become so normalised that nobody will blink.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

Required reading for those who also work hard to provide their children with a decent education, in the hope that it will enable them to speak truth to power.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

If most of the campaign #disinformation is coming from this platform, why are people still here?

A very interesting read from Anthropic CEO https://t.co/2hq4KMBV0r #AI

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

So why exactly are we here? To watch the network effects in horror? For some perverse academic interest? For ongoing research? Vanity? #edtech

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

X, where lies come to be fruitful and multiply.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

It's amazing what the owner of this platform thinks is amazing. Then again, it's the attention economy, stupid.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This is amazing 😂

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

To be filed under 'wishful thinking by wise people.'

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

Ah... friends of friends. Boissevain would be having a field day if he were till around. As for any links between SF Bay Area, smart people, smart Elon, smart anything c/o the US of A... good luck when you wake up to Trump 2.0 in November.

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

Have to say I am with LeCun on this one.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

@ProfNoahGian The folly of the young and carefree. Alas, poor Yorick.. [to be intoned to Rage against the Machine, for good effect..]

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

@ProfNoahGian Never forget to indulge in bit of preliminary critical discourse analysis before posting anything here, my friend ;)

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

Everyone performing. That could be an automated, repeat update on this platform. If I could be bothered.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

@karpathy Get AI to teach critical thinking. Seeing my students think they can now rely totally on Gen-AI to do their thinking. While academia thinks critical thinking is some proprietary domain to justify its very existence, although nobody can quite agree on what it means. Etc.

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

Amen to that. Or maybe not.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

A new day in Westminster has dawned...

[3CL Foundation @3CLMT]

The #EBSICAN team is working on the project's final technical report, including use cases in cross-border education #credentialverification, and #educationalmobility between Canada and the EU. @3CLMT @NGISargasso #InternetOfHumans @AlexGrech @larinyo https://t.co/F8cPyiOPNP

[Alex Grech @AlexGrech]

@BKCHarvard Aha! On to bigger and better things. Pleased for you my friend.
