I know Khan Academy and other edtech platforms have done similar things, but I'm not sure we'll get what the title implies with AI chatbots pretending to be historical figures, speak in their voice, etc. Surface engagement, maybe. #EDUsky

I think a warning like this is important. For *far* too long colleges have kept popular cash-cow programs going, but many either 1. Have super low grad rates or 2. Don't show meaningful earnings gains afterwards. I know of a popular college in NYC that KNEW its Forensics degree was like this...

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

Damn. Been telling people to watch #WheelOfTime but after what they did to a major character in S3E8, I’m done for good. Advising folks not to watch. It was sadistic. Departures from the book are expected… but that?!?!?!? F that. #WOT #wheeloftimespoilers

This thread from Sunday is the dialectical resolution (provided in advance) of today's debate between Mark Cuban and Jamelle Bouie. Yes, you need to know what questions to ask. So yes, you still do need education, as Jamelle rightly implies.

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models. Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

The combination of o3 and search looks pretty impressive. I suspect these models are now going to be limited mainly by access to paywalled articles. Which, incidentally, helps me understand why tech companies are negotiating deals w/ academic publishers. It's likely for use, not training as such.

OK, shit is getting real. A lot of teachers that understand the limits of straight LLMs — and know when an assignment falls outside them — are going to need to recalibrate in 2025.

OpenAI’s deep research is very good. Unlike Google’s version, which is mostly a good summarizer of many sources, OpenAI is more like engaging an opinionated (often almost PhD-level!) researcher who follows lead. Look at how it hunts down a concept in the literature (& works around problems)

Gosh. The Powerschool hack is bad. "... an extortion note the attacker sent to PowerSchool claimed that the personal data of 62.4 million students and 9.5 million teachers was swept up in the breach." #EduSky arstechnica.com/security/202...

I think often about this experiment at Harvard showing active learning upped test scores by 33%... but students thought they were learning more from non-active lectures The problem: being challenged is the key to learning BUT we hate challenges, they are hard & make you realize how little you know.

Many echoes of the great calculator panic of the 70’s and 80’s in edu spaces today concerning Generative AI. Doesn’t negate real concerns, but shallow panic serves no one. #edusky #AI #AIinedu

We talk about the best AI...Ethan Mollick, Wharton School said, "But the real way to understand AI is to use it. A lot. For about 10 hours, just do stuff with AI that you do for work or fun. Poke it, prod it, ask it weird questions. See where it shines and where it stumbles." #tlsky #aiedu #edusky

There are still a *large* number of educators who have not yet used AI to reduce workload and/or increase the quality of teaching and learning. A lot of the ideas for how to use AI are too basic; the sorts of things that first come to mind when starting with AI. #AIinEducation #EdTech
