Educators, parents, students can’t be blamed for being skeptical, even cynical given the multitude of fashionable methodologies and “studies” that have been foisted on them …especially in schools of education.

“We’ve all heard “They’re going to have to learn to use AI.” But I think that slogan applies to how students will use AI at home and in the workforce, where the product is the thing. For students, learning is the thing.”

Homework scores once predicted exam performance; now a new study shows those who score highest are, perversely, more likely to do worse in exams. Our charts explain the trend

A difficult blog post to write, because mental health matters. But so does asking uncomfortable questions. A new review looks at whether universal mental health programmes at school can sometimes have unwanted effects. wp.me/p2nWPo-673

Really enjoyed the interview. Thank you both.

“But politically, AI has never been more unpopular”… which by itself, should be a very good reason to question the data centre backlash.. A bigger issue for politicians & the public (that uses AI) should be …why haven‘t states & industry collaborated to build new energy infrastructure?

New essay: I argue that political differences often reside not primarily in different factual beliefs, values, or high-level ideologies, but in the competing systems of interpretation and misinterpretation through which we select, ignore, frame, narrate, and explain political reality.

Some bosses say full-time, in-person work boosts productivity or collaboration. “Our new research reveals that the objection to any work from home is more likely to be driven by something else entirely: ego,” write Adam Grant, Marissa Shandell and Courtney Elliott.

“Meta may be dying, but rest assured it won’t go gently into that good night. Maybe that could be a good thing. The more users quit, and the more corroded Meta’s apps grow, the faster we can all log off and close this chapter of the social-media revolution forever.“

A widely cited ChatGPT meta-analysis has been retracted. Not because AI doesn’t work, but because the evidence base is still thin. Hundreds of studies, very little strong causal evidence. The field is growing faster than its evidence quality. theeconomyofmeaning.com/2026/05/04/e...

Happiness isn’t a moral failure, and being miserable doesn’t make someone more ethical. Unfortunately, there’s a tendency in our culture to equate seriousness with misery.

Human interaction is going to shift to discords and group chats, invite-only. The open web and social media are going to be left for the agents lurking amongst the ruins. Everything public will be Moltbook. It hasn’t fully hit BlueSky yet, but LinkedIn and X are just meaning-shaped comments by LLMs

“Students’ reluctance to perform controversial viewpoints in public settings may reflect a paradigm shift that meaningful engagement with controversial ideas requires privacy and reflection. AI may deliver all this far more fruitfully than the performative classroom discussions that FIRE champions”
