X/grok creating and platforming sexually explicit material of children isn’t just a lapse, it’s criminal. Elon Musk and his companies should be held to account. It’s been over a year since I dumped X. It was the right decision then and even more so now. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said “lapses in safeguards” led to the generation of sexualized images of minors that it posted to social media site X.

Welcome to Day 4 of the #24DaysOfAI Appvent Calendar. Today’s focus is Seesaw, a platform already familiar to many primary schools for the way it connects pupils, teachers and families. What stands out this year is how Seesaw is beginning to weave AI into the routines teachers already use, supporting workload without adding complexity or creating yet another separate tool to manage.

Day 3 of the 2025 Appvent Calendar
In education, when it comes to your ecosystem, the productivity suite and core tools that frame most of your use, you normally sit in one of two camps. For the most part, you can often undertake similar activities when it comes to things like word processing, presentations, working with numbers etc. But in recent times, one of those two seem to have pulled away a bit; not just in terms of the opportunities provided from their AI tools, but in how they link so closely to education.

On one hand: don't anthropomorphize AI. On the other: LLMs exhibit signs of gambling addiction. The more autonomy they were given, the more risks the LLMs took. They exhibit gambler's fallacy, loss-chasing, illusion of control... A cautionary note for using LLMs for investing without guardrails.
