@C_Hendrick what has ‘unstoppable learning’ to do with education? education without teachers is ‘body without organs’ to put it in Deluzian words…

education framed under logic of “efficiency” is NOT education.

[liemandt @jliemandt]

Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of AI, on Alpha School:

"we already know that a private tutor is about twice as efficient as a classroom"

"and AI (tutors) should be much more efficient than that"

"which leaves more time for the socialization aspect of education where you do want to interact with the people and have team projects and things"

"That seems very good to me."

I called it “theftploitation” — a system built on theft and exploitation.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt says “almost all” AI systems are “built on mass theft,” arguing that companies using large language models “shouldn’t be forgiven for that past theft.”

@RobertoBurioni Reinforcement Learning è una architettura di Machine Learning classico (essiste da decenni). Intelligenza Artificiale è sexy in questi giorni per utilizzare come “buzzword” Anche l’articolo dice che GenAI non è “reliable”.
Nel Deep Learning, forse GANs sono più interessanti

Türk, December 2023: “A quarter of humanity is caught in global conflicts” https://t.co/jZvQx2fCa4

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

AI can be a game-changer for human rights: it can predict crises, transform healthcare and education, tackle food insecurity, and more. But to achieve this, we need to embed human rights in #AI by design, and invest in AI that puts rights first.

the same AI that systemically discriminates women and girls.

[Ellie Reeves @elliereeves]

A huge honour to be officially sworn in as Solicitor General in the Royal Courts of Justice this morning.

From tackling violence against women and girls, using AI to modernise the justice system to ensuring diversity across the legal professions, I cannot wait to get started.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Spotify’s excesses — ghost artists, boring mood playlists, and AI — don’t indicate some evil inherent to streaming.

They stem from the major labels’ effective oligarchy over the music industry. https://t.co/D6K0M4A794

Kamīrīīthū was the opposite of this. The Kamīrīīthū practice was part of education as process of demystifying knowledge and hence reality. [3/3]”

[ron salaj | @[email protected] @ronsalaj]

#Ngūgī’s courage to decolonize mind, language, and culture will be long remembered:

“Education as a process of alienation produces a gallery of active stars and undifferentiated mass of grateful admirers. [1/3]

[ron salaj | @[email protected] @ronsalaj]

The Olympian gods of the Greek mythology or the dashing knights of the middle ages are reborn in the twentieth century as superstar politicians, scientists, sportsmen, actors, the handsome doers or heroes, with the ordinary people watching passively, gratefully, admiringly. [2/3]

"The politics embedded in #AI directly collide with the foundational humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence."
