Likewise, we are confusing the rate of innovation of tools with the rate of innovation of durable skills. (Karim Meghji)--just because the tools are new doesn't mean we have figured out the skills #SXSWedu panel onThe Future of Teaching in an Age of AI

I appreciate Future of Teaching in an Age of AI panelists pushback against rhetoric urging ed to AI revolution--If education is a little late in being revolutionized, that’s for the best rather than risk doing it wrong. (Jake Baskin) #SXSWedu

panelists: Why have elementary students use AI? Young children already exposed to AI through Alexa, toys, media & creating mental models; we don’t want them to think AI is a magic box that's always right; instead teach them to break it; know limits so they don’t have to unlearn wrong models later

AI & the Skills-First Economy panelists pointed to how ossified O-Net is but for this to work, need to design systems with common language, skills, values that everyone agrees on; how do we keep it from ossifying while making it interoperable and universally valued? #SXSWEDU

Speaking of the humanities… I went back to my college this past weekend and wound up in front of the building that houses the classics department. I took enough Greek and Latin courses to qualify for a major…and what I learned has been put to use every week of my working life – even at MTV News.

My Spring 23 fits the bill—in a weird way. I didn't do that much coding, but could've by cutting corners. The goal was to do a survey of the payoffs, to entice students who may want to learn more of the techne later, or be more informed about their critiques. teaching.elotroalex.com/s23-intro-dh...

Six panel meme. The first panel shows a stick figure sleeping in bed, in a darkened room. Panel two has a brain with a speech bubble saying "U forgot to set an alarm". Panel three the stick figure has their eyes still closed but a speech bubble saying "no I didn't" panel four the stick figure is still again. Panel five the stick figures eyes remain closed but they are frowning. Panel six shows the stick figure checking their phone.

They think they have the mindset of a future AI, and not, for example, a knucklehead. And this means their project isn't to build an awesome mind capable of thinking beyond the human, it's to create a Massive Useless Simulated Knucklehead.

IMO it's a mistake to take the ideological conflict seriously. "Xrisk" and "acceleration" are flip sides of a single drama, which is "we're going to build something so cool it's dangerous." The actual conflict here seems to be how much OAI should become a *retail* tech co, versus a B2B think tank.
