A Night Gallery or Outer Limits episode where a boy could predict the future. He did this on a television show. One day he refused to go on. Turns out he knew the sun was going to explode. Nightmares for years. And I believe I was 4 or 5 when I saw it.

Read a post a few days ago that said we were seeing the impact of Trump trickle down to young men like the Cornell 7. I don’t know. I think it’s more likely the Cornell 7 represent a decades long culture that led us to Trump.

Many "existing peer-reviewed studies that say AI is an effective learning tool are based on flawed methodologies and analyses that rely on misapplied, miscalculated or misinterpreted statistics." Good to see the severe limits of research on AI in education covered in IHE here.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill. And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.
