Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.

@EvangelineDryd @LeverNews Do you have a list of who voted for an who voted against?

[Old Mom New Teacher @MoreUh]

@MarvelTeacher2 I agree with this completely but applies to a whole lot of careers, not just teachers.

Kids don't get confident from being told they're great. They get confident from doing hard things and finding out they can.

Nothing to see here folks… just Big Tech purposely targeting kids at school to addict them while bribing the PTA to spew their propaganda.

@LoufactsIGB I don’t understand why you think a person asking another person to leave an area that they are not supposed to be in as bullying. If a stranger came in to your yard and you asked them to leave would that be bullying?

Underrated benefit of reading a great number & variety of books is that it will make you a more interesting person. As C. S. Lewis said, the person who doesn't read lives in a tiny world; reading lends us the perspective of a thousand lives.

There were 11 assassination plots against Obama that never got close to him because his FBI director wasn't a cross-eyed blackout drunk flying his girlfriend around on the government jet to shitty country music concerts

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@james_xond 31 but had help from my mom.

[Jen @jenteach13]

Ask a student what their test score means to them. Then ask why we restructure entire schools for weeks to collect data from kids who finish in ten minutes and put their heads down.
