The best AI schools are going to use AI to scour the web for the best most concise videos to teach each lecture

The in-house teacher will be a tutor

The second half of the day will be experiential

AI won't be teaching/tutoring

[Anand Sanwal @asanwal]

Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems

Result: chatGPT is the perfect trap.

Look at the red bars.

Students with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions.

The basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the "tutor" version did even more.

Now look at the gray bars. That's the exam.

No AI allowed.

The ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology.

And the fancy tutor version?
No better than working alone.

The researchers called AI a "crutch."

When they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?”

The kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning.

They were confidently wrong.

This is the AI trap in education.

Outsourcing your thinking.

Of course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now

Let’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders

@DutchRojas Where are you going with this? The ability to practice medicine doesn't really start until after you've completed residency. When you don't have a backstop and you spend the rest of your life retraining and recalibrating.

@JOSEPH45075332 I thought so too

[MikeMeisterling.og @MikeMeisterling]

I can top that

I put my phone on top of the Tesla, and it let me drive off

Car kinda went bonkers when the phone flew into the ditch on a tight turn

Took 30 minutes to find my phone

Missed an important meeting

[Paleoncologist @JOSEPH45075332]

Today I learned ... that you CAN lock your Tesla phone/key in the frunk, and lock yourself out of the car.

So … one of the nice features of Tesla is that it is ~almost~ impossible to lock your phone / key in the cabin. Because if you do, the doors will not lock

Well … today I was playing Ultimate Frisbee, and it starts to rain

Anyone who has played Ultimate knows that a bit of rain is not going to stop a good game. In fact, as long as there is no lightning, it makes it more fun

Well it started coming down kinda hard, so everyone started tossing stuff in their cars.

I grabbed all my stuff, opened the frunk, tossed my phone in my bag, threw everything in the frunk, *manually* closed it … and got back to the game

About an hour or so later we are done, and I walk up to the car and reach for the handle and … uh-oh.

Won’t open.

This NEVER happens ?!?!
Oh 💩💩💩!!
My phone.
Locked in the frunk. Pretty sure.
Can't find it anywhere else
And the car doors won’t open.

Oops.

It has probably been more than 30 years since I’ve locked my keys in my car. It’s practically been impossible thanks to key fobs.

But. I found a work-around. 😭🤦‍♂️

So it is still raining and I am sitting by my car in the rain, trying to decide what to do. Everyone has rushed to leave because of the rain and I happened to be last.

I feel like it’s the 90s.
No phone.
Locked keys in the car.
No way to contact anyone.
And I’m about 5 miles from home.

Then, I glance down and see my Apple Watch and realize … I can probably call my wife to bring me the spare key …

Then I remembered … the Tesla watch app

So …

Today I ALSO learned that you CAN set up the Tesla Apple Watch app with your phone nearby.
And you do NOT need access to your phone.

A few minutes of spinning and my watch announces “your Watch Key is now activated”

And I go back to the door and pull the handle and ... “click’ ... I’m back in my car.

😁😁😁

Open the frunk, get my stuff, find my phone (which I still was not sure was in there) and all is good with the world

First world problem. First world solution.
And new lessons learned.

Where's the press to expose the ban on anonymous use of social media by Starmer?

@DrDiGiorgio I'm not sure anyone should trust public health

It's not like they give us risks, benefits, and alternatives

It's not as if they've never led to the public

It's not like medical literature isn't gated or political

[MikeMeisterling.og @MikeMeisterling]

@DutchRojas Are almost all of these procedures done in physician owned surgery centers?

Yes!

This needs more reach!

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

You can be sued personally for your company’s health plan. Not the company. You.

If you sat on the committee that picked the plan’s administrator, ERISA made you a fiduciary, and the liability has your name on it.

The administrator running the plan is usually owned by the same carrier that profits from the spread, and its contract is written so the liability never reaches them.

It reaches you. Most CFOs learn this from a lawyer, not their broker.

Use it
