Screenshot of a publication being released today, with a techno-optimist, uncredited quote. This one reads: the future of education isn't about resisting AI —it's about harnessing it.

A screenshot of an accelerationist quote in a publication about AI: Adapting to disruptive technologies is not just a challenge, but an opportunity to redefine education.

Another uncredited quote: AI is not the future of education it is the present. The challenge now is not just to adapt, but to innovate, collaborate, and lead the way in shaping it's role in learning.

Remote.materialsmatter.ie (no SSL yet, http only for now) is actually remote! Solar rig has been performed very well, it is hugely overkill for this setup, but good to have 30 days of testing confirmation. Gives me no issue to add a heltec v3 #meshtastic node to the power draw, should be fine.

[Microsoft complaint] Jaysus fuck #Microsoft, maybe fix the issues (or simply disable?) in your 'Text predictions' (www.reddit.com/r/microsoft/comments…) before making more useless changes towards AI?
