@gtmom @C_Hendrick Do Alpha students follow a curriculum that ends with an externally assessed examination? What subjects make up that assessed curriculum?

This video from Senator Bernie Sanders on the murder of Charlie Kirk is fantastic. Certainly worth a watch.

As the year is almost over, I’ve been reflecting on what has been effective in improving my practice this year. Without a doubt, it has been our shift to using mini whiteboards more. Here are ways I’ve experimented/learnt from our CPD 🧵

AI is the first tool in history that can:
1) create new things by itself,
2) make decisions by itself.

It cannot be compared to any previous technological revolutions.
Inventions like the printing press and even the atom bomb ultimately empowered humans – because humans always decided how to use them.
AI, on the other hand, is an autonomous agent that can create and decide without us.

How can we go on developing AI without being sure that it will not escape our control? Without knowing that its creations will not harm humanity?

Went from Kyiv to just outside Klishchiivka for this deep dive into the current state of the drone war for @KyivIndependent.

Judging the drone war is very much like the war as a whole- balancing a confusing mess of qualitative and quantitative data. 🧵:
