It seems obvious, and frankly already a little late in the day, to declare that AI is another reason for 'education' to be reformed. The learning to be done through AI is through inquiry: finding the right questions to ask, evaluating the responses, refin…https://t.co/ny2yCw1BxP

"Because we trained the machines. All of us. But we never gave our consent. They fed on humanity’s collective ingenuity, inspiration and revelations (along with our more venal traits). These models are enclosure and appropriation m…https://t.co/w0IA1ylLOo https://t.co/t0X8Yo0nqC

An open letter signed by tech luminaries, renowned scientists, and yes Elon Musk, warns of an “out-of-control race” to develop and deploy ever-more-powerful AI systems—and calls for a pause in their development until they can be studied: https://t.co/a965jxSc1h

About #ChatGPT I wonder if something is getting missed? If LLMs are 'intelligent' then surely they are a brain-in-a-jar intelligence. Human intelligence derives from 'lived experience.' We are fundamentally 'embodied consciousness.'

After a number of years (exceeding a decade... approaching two...) in London, prior to that teaching in Mexico, Spain and France over another decade, and prior to that learning my trade in the schools of Greater Manchester, UK, I'm making a change from August (1/2)

@British_Airways I am trying to change the passengers on a booking for which the balance is due March 11th, but this is not possible online and your call centre simply drops the calls. How is this supposed to work, exactly?

A sigh of relief, seeing the return of civility and honesty after four years of lies and verbal abuse. Democracy is still a living possibility.

A delicious taste of ⁦⁦@JoeBiden⁩ moral compass when others in our own country and the US looked the other way.

This is a fascinating book, a pleasure and an education to read in proof and now in print! @ibmyp #music #education

[Samuel @Wrightstufmusic]

It’s almost here! pre-order a resource that challenges traditional to future styles. Generate new sounds in #MYPmusic & prepare students for the new @IB_DP #music #curriculum.
