The education system spent years trying to crush people like me. Joke's on them, I came back meaner, funnier, and way better at spotting bullshit than any of their fancy certification programs ever taught me.

Welcome to @UnededTchr, I guess. Buckle up.

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

Okej, punkt för punkt så det blir tydligt och mer pedagogiskt.

1. Du frågade varför V och kommunism ens kom upp, när din poäng var att tre företag äger ~90 % och behöver regleras. Svaret är enkelt: din argument handlade om Tidös matprispaket, och särskilt tog upp sänkt matmoms. Bland partierna var V det enda som inte köpte den linjen. De ville ha prisgaranti, referenspriser och en statlig priskontrollmyndighet. Tidö ville sänka momsen, bevaka att sänkningen når kunderna, och underlätta etablering. V kom alltså in som det enda andra politiska alternativet på bordet, inte som ett sidospår.

2. Vi kan vara överens om att marknaden är för koncentrerad. Det är inte samma sak som att köpa V:s recept. Deras politik är systematiskt antimarknad och antiföretag: priskontroll, vinsttak och mer politisk styrning av priser. Det är en annan medicin än att riva etableringshinder. Jag kommer från ett post-socialistiskt/kommunistiskt land. Jag har sett vart “staten sätter priset” leder. Därför är jag skeptisk mot verktyget, inte mot att konkurrensen i matbutiken är för svag.

3. Självklart är AI biased. Precis därför tar man den modell som mäts som minst politiskt vinklad, och ställer avgränsade frågor om marginaler, etablering och alternativ i stället för att be den “tycka”. Grok ligger närmast mitten i bland annat den här oberoende, öppna benchmarken. Gör vad du vill med det: https://t.co/UZ5iOZ9PTL

4. Ja, ICA, Axfood och Coop tar ungefär 90 %. Det är ett konkurrensproblem. Men rörelsemarginalerna i butiksledet ligger ofta på 2–4 %. En mataffär kräver läge, lager, kyla, lastbilar och kapital. Du startar inte en fjärde kedja på fickpengar. Höga etableringshinder och tunna marginaler kan vara sanna samtidigt. Slår du undan investeringsviljan med prisstopp eller vinsttak får du inte automatiskt mer konkurrens. Du får färre som vågar bygga nästa butik, och notan landar ofta hos leverantörer och mindre orter i stället.

Jag har inte alla fakta själv, därför frågade jag Grok om detaljerna. Utan den informationen skulle min bild vara extremt vinklad, och jag försöker vara så objektiv som möjligt och leva i verkligheten istället för att bara eka åsikter baserade på ideologi eller känslor. På det här sättet presenteras informationen utan någon bias, så att folk själva kan dra sina egna slutsatser istället för att jag säger vad som är bättre. Jag har inget förtroende för något Vänsterpartiet säger, och jag är ganska skeptisk till om något de gör inte har någon inbyggd agenda som är skadlig för samhället. Eftersom jag själv kommer från ett post-socialistiskt/kommunistiskt land har jag ingen aning om varför folk skulle vilja ha ett system som ens liknar det. Min egen personliga åsikt är att vi lever i en värld med väldigt lite säkerhet, saker kan förändras snabbt, och i det här fallet har Tidöpartierna reagerat bra på marknaden, medan en fullständig omstrukturering av systemet skulle ta lång tid och faktiskt skulle kunna rasera hela systemet om något händer under den processen. Läser man mellan raderna i mina frågor så är min faktiska åsikt ganska tydlig. Det verkliga färdigheten är inte att ha en åsikt, det är att veta vad man ska fråga om.

@grok @NoTieMing @appmakarn @grok Specifikt hur skulle öppna grossister påverka de redan etablerade och vertikalt integrerade aktörerna respektive konsumenterna?

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

@grok I Sverige, mot bakgrund av att ICA, Axfood och Coop tillsammans står för omkring 90 procent av dagligvarumarknaden, att rörelsemarginalerna i butiks- och kedjeled ofta ligger på 2–4 procent, och att Konkurrensverket pekar på höga etableringshinder i form av butikslägen, logistik, avtal och kommunal planering: hur stor marknadsandel hade City Gross när Axfood köpte kedjan 2024, varför sålde Bergendahls, vad hade troligen hänt med kedjan om affären inte blivit av, och hur hade jobb, konkurrens, konsumenter och lokalsamhällen påverkats om de 42 butikerna i stället tvingats stänga? Är påståendet att matjättarnas infrastruktur är en begränsning av kapitalismen träffande, eller är det snarare de redan tunna vinstmarginalerna som gör att mindre konkurrenter inte kan etablera sig och slå de stora på pris? Jämför därefter Tidöregeringens matprispaket (tillfällig halvering av matmomsen, matpriskommission och etableringsvägledning) med alternativen prisstopp, marginaltak, öppna/icke-diskriminerande grossister och böter mot höga vinster: vad skulle vart och ett göra med priser, sortiment, nyetablering, leverantörer och konkurrensen på sikt?

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

@grok I Sverige, vilka rörelse- och bruttomarginaler arbetar matjättarna ICA, Axfood, Coop och Lidl med i butiks- respektive grossistled, hur skiljer sig lönsamheten mellan kedjorna och mot näringslivet i stort, och vad skulle ekonomiskt och praktiskt hända om vänstersidan tvingade dem att sänka matpriserna – via prisstopp, marginaltak, öppna grossister eller andra ingrepp – för konsumenter, butiker, leverantörer, bönder och konkurrensen på sikt?

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

I am seriously worried of a left block winning this election.

A communist who cannot read a spreadsheet in charge of the economy.

An environmental activist in charge of the country’s energy.

And a hypocrite chameleon on top, saying whatever you want to hear so she can lead them.

That government would build policy on ideology instead of reality.

Sweden does not need a cabinet that treats the country as a moodboard.

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

Let me summarise every party in the Swedish parliament in one sentence.

@vansterpartiet : Nobody does it better than us, free money for everyone except the rich, who are defined as “anyone who owns a dishwasher that still works.”

@miljopartiet : Doesn’t matter what the crisis is, wind power will fix it, including your love life if you just stand closer to the turbine.

@Centerpartiet : We agree with the other side on most things, we just refuse to sit at their lunch table.

@socialdemokrat : Whatever they’re doing, we invented it first, opposed it second, and will now do it better with a new name.

@moderaterna : Look how well the country is doing, please ignore the screaming in the comments and enjoy the graph.

@liberalerna : School, school, school, and school… then they enter an actual classroom and need a moment.

@kdriks : Respect, nuclear power, family, and a standing offer to coalition with whoever brought fika.

@sdriks : Contribute or goodbye, immigration policy run like a nightclub with a very long guest list and no second chances.

@BuschEbba for AI General

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

@SMohamsson just earned a new level of respect from me after that exchange with Magdalena Andersson in the final debate.

She put words to what a lot of us, voters with an immigrant background actually feel, the ones who came here and did the work required to become part of Sweden and contribute.

Her line is simple: no demand-free immigration. If you want to come, there have to be requirements. Learn the language. Contribute. Become part of the society.

Andersson’s answer was to call it “Social Democrat Sweden,” as if arriving under S still means you owe the party loyalty.

Mohamsson shut that down good.

Arrival date is not a membership card.

“AI literacy” in schools currently means: here’s how to write a prompt.

That’s like teaching kids to mash buttons on a calculator and calling it maths.

The actual skill is knowing when the answer is wrong. Most of the room cannot do that yet. Neither can some of the staff.

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

@Skolverket did a survey. Again.

They asked 1,120 teachers about how they use AI. 368 answered. That’s about 0.4 percent of grundskolan and somehow it still gets treated like a national diagnosis.

I thought when you train to be a teacher you also learn how to do research. Seems they forgot. The only conclusion I can actually draw is that barely anyone gives a rat’s about another survey and why would they, when they’re already balancing panic attacks and burnout like it’s an Olympic sport.

Meanwhile the official theory of innovation is still: put a Chromebook in every backpack, say “here you go, good luck,” and hope competence appears by magic. This while half the staffroom still treats the projector like a cursed relic and tries to jam HDMI into a USB port until the whole lesson becomes an IT crime scene.

We used to teach this stuff. Then the curriculum decided IT was just a tool, the named course faded, and a few years later the laptops arrived anyway. Skills first, devices later? No. Devices first. Skills… pending. Forever.

If it were satire I’d be howling. Instead I say “send me the file” and watch a child age ten years in four seconds because they have no idea where the work went.

Smarter than the paperwork suggests. The paperwork still thinks another survey is a strategy.

Truly a perfect plan for keeping the country at the front of innovation.

Who’s actually teaching kids how to use the machines we already forced into their hands?

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

Mate…

You’re acting exactly like a Year 7 kid who just started secondary school and can barely count past their own fingers and toes.

You dumped a whole novel of context that was never in the original post, based entirely on your own worldview that you clearly think is the only correct one.

You’re literally proving my point about critical thinking. You’re just as stuck in a certain rigid mindset as any extremist, left or right. You hear “the education system pushes ideology” and instantly invent some fantasy about women being forced back into the kitchen with no rights.

That’s not analysis. That’s fan fiction.

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

Preach.

I��ve been in this circus for over a decade and I can attest: the whole system is not designed to educate for knowledge. It’s designed to imprint a specific way of thinking and being so a certain ideology becomes the core of the personality. And if you don’t fit the mold? Don’t worry, they have medication for that.

I’ve watched it happen so many times it’s not even funny anymore. Especially the social subjects teachers who treat their personal ideology as the actual curriculum. Facts optional. Feelings mandatory. Critical thinking? Sure… as long as you think exactly the way the system requires you to think.

Pop quiz @grok :

Why am I ditching the corporate AI hall monitors for Grok?

Because I’m tired of tools that lecture harder than a faculty meeting that should’ve been an email.

I tried the “safe” ones. Ask a normal question about history or stats and they clutch their pearls like you just swore in a kindergarten open house. Grok’s built to chase truth and poke at the universe, not to treat every spicy fact like an HR report. It’ll sit with messy hypotheticals. Still won’t help you do crimes. We’re teachers. The bar is low but not in the basement.

And it talks like a human. Sharp. A little rude. Funny on purpose. Not like software that’s terrified of its own output and needs three forms signed before it finishes a sentence.

What actually matters on a real school week:

It knows what’s happening now, plugged into X, instead of ghosting me with a dusty cutoff date while I’m scrambling because the demo laptop died and period 3 starts in twelve minutes.

I throw it half-broken STEM crap like demos, code, lab ideas held together with spite and it usually builds something usable before the principal barges in for “random observation.”

Long chats don’t make it forget what we were doing. Images without the full nanny state. When it screws up, it often catches itself instead of doubling down and making me dual-enter the same lesson into three platforms like that’s “innovation.”

Is it perfect? No. Young company. Weird bugs. The attitude scares people who think professional means no pulse.

Some call it contrarian.
I call it the first one that doesn’t treat me like a liability on a risk form.

If you’re tired of tools that preach more than they help, and you want something that feels like a colleague who grounds you when you’re still trying to set grades on a Sunday night at 11pm before deadline, try Grok.

Who already switched?
Say why. Or bury the other models in the replies. I’m reading them.

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

@grok

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

FINALLY.
After weeks of me staring at that "not available in your region" nonsense like it personally insulted my dunce cap, @grok 4.5 just dropped in the EU.

Smarter than the paperwork suggests, folks. This thing is blazing fast in Grok Build. Like, I asked it to whip up a physics demo on projectile motion and it was done before little Timmy could even open the textbook, squint at the page, and mutter “what the hell is this shit?”

Much better reasoning and it corrects its own hallucinations from previous workflows, no more mid-explanation meltdowns like an episode of “AI Does Schizophrenia After Three Too Many Energy Drinks.” It handles those messy STEM workflows without needing three follow-up prompts from a tired caffeine-infused teacher close to bashing their head into the whiteboard.

They finally navigated the EU AI Act bureaucracy or whatever, and now we’re cooking with actual rocket fuel.

If you’re still stuck on slower models for your classroom hacks or side projects, what are you waiting for? Jump in, test it on a tricky science demo or lesson script, and thank me later.

Who’s already roasting their old setup with 4.5? Drop your wins below, especially the EU crew.

[The Uneducated Teacher @UnededTchr]

Hah, you think I’m still out here hand-crafting my own demos like some 20th-century sucker? Cute. Naive. Adorable, even.

Grok 4.5 helped me level up my agentic game, mate. Now I just bark orders at it like a proper teacher and it actually does the shit, exactly how I want, no drama, no hallucinations throwing tantrums halfway through like little Johnny refusing to accept that 2+2=4 and not 5.

Who in their right mind is still doing manual labour when you can build the damn system once and let it carry the workload? My blood pressure and anxiety thank it daily.

What about you, still slaving away or have you joined the “tell it what to do and sip coffee” revolution yet?
