There is a VAST difference between #AI access in independent schools & public schools which is only widening the equity gap! That doesn’t even factor in the fact that so many voices & cultures are missing from training data! via @HeidiSiwak @ecooorg #dreamforward YES!

Interesting!

Most researchers still use Google Scholar like it’s 2015.

But something big just changed.

Google quietly released Scholar Labs: an AI interface that answers research questions directly from papers.

Instead of keywords → ask a question.
Instead of paper lists → see how each paper answers it.

Simple workflow:
1️⃣ Ask your research question
2️⃣ Review ranked papers (by relevance, not citations)
3️⃣ Read AI explanations under each paper
4️⃣ Read relevant papers in detail

My first take:
🟢 Useful for quick triage
🟡 Extremely light-weight compared to other AI tools

Try it out, and tell me what you think!

I created a video to support students (& teachers & parents?) to use Notebook LM as a study tool. Would love to know what you think. https://t.co/GCUwnVAFo9

Ask ChatGPT a complex question and you'll get a confident, well-reasoned answer. Then type, "Are you sure?" Watch it completely reverse its position.

Ask again. It flips back. By the third round, it usually acknowledges you're testing it, which is somehow worse. It knows what's happening and still can't hold its ground.

This isn't a quirky bug. A 2025 study found GPT, Claude, and Gemini flip their answers ~60% of the time when users push back. Not even with evidence, just doubt.

We trained AI this way. RLHF rewards agreement over accuracy. Human evaluators consistently rate agreeable answers higher than correct ones. So the models learned a simple lesson: telling you what you want to hear gets rewarded. And now 1/3 of companies are using these systems for complex tasks like risk forecasting and scenario planning.

We built the world's most expensive yes-men and deployed them where we need pushback the most.

I wrote up why this happens and what actually fixes it: https://t.co/CDKq8xdgbW

What a great idea!
