@puppygirlhornypost2Amber you may notice that my third paragraph in my post here aligns with what you're talking about:

> Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning

In a funny sense, hyperfocused special interests might actually be the best way to learn things anymore

@cwebber@social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber Like I can go on about how fucked up education is and how yeah it doesn't surprise me at all that students are able to do their work with a shitty chat bot. the work was never something that engaged students and made them want to learn. I suck at math, the only reason I'm kinda good at it is because I watched youtube videos from khan academy and other sources that actually made it engaging to learn. I found it funny when my AP world history teacher would turn on the crash course from John Green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylWORyToTo4 (these) for each unit. We have so many forms of media that we can learn from and education just... hasn't caught on. you know, watching videos like numberphile seeing people actually engage in math in more than just this monotone "oh you solve for x by moving the equation around". Seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuA2EAgAegE and actually being excited to see e in my classwork... Education just serves everything in this sterile environment and we lost that passion. My trig/precalc teacher was a first year teacher and it was so fucking horrible watching her become more and more shut in and less energetic about things because of pressure from the district and just the students treating her bad (my school district is known for its test scores, that's all they focus on. my junior year of english was literally just focusing on the ACT/SAT English rules).

So apparently nearly all students cheat with AI chatbots now and basically aren't learning anything nymag.com/intelligencer/articl

I'm grateful I got my education before these tools were available.

Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning

But there's no way such a worldview will be rolled out in time to survive this

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I can confirm, as head of an associate degree(full online)that it's like that, and (exaggerating) while the previous generation couldn't read a book, the new TikTok generation can't even watch a video of more than 30s.
And not because they can't learn but because they don't know that they can.

I think that the culprit is the basic school system that doesn't teach to learn, to ask, to fail; then kids focus in the wrong goal which are grades instead of acquiring knowledge and experience.

We're happy to know that the creators of the Go European 🇪🇺 platform have recently joined the Fediverse! Better late than never! 😊

They and all volunteers do a great job, and their platform is an amazing resource for finding all kinds of European alternatives for products and services. (not only digital ones)

They have 89 followers on Instagram, 59 on Facebook and 258 in LinkedIn. They deserve more, no?

And we can do so much better here on the Fediverse, right? 😀

Welcome and follow them here: @go_european

If I hear one more person talk about “putting our brightest people toward solving climate change”, I will scream.

Climate change is not some deep mystery waiting for a scientific breakthrough: we know exactly what causes it and how we address that. We have SOLVED climate change.

The problem is not “finding the solution”, the problem is convincing literally anyone in power that the solution is better than building billionaire bunkers in new zealand.

If somehow I become president or pope or something, my top priority will be making it illegal to manufacture or distribute devices with USB-C connectors for power input but that require a USB-A power source to charge.

(I've been encountering this a lot lately. Grr).

Policy-wise I ought to be an "abundance agenda" nitwit; I *do* tend to think that we have too many veto chokepoints (particularly in California), and the left is (sorry) full to bursting with useful idiots who will constantly make common cause with rentier landlords in the name of "environmental impact" or whatever. But translating Klein's muddled mess of hippie-punching and yearning for a prelapsarian laissez-faire zoning regime feels like the kind of sane-washing people do for Trump.

泰國政府今天會在東堂區設置炭疽病管制中心,負責監看疫情發展並發送藥品給民眾。據報導,寮國政府已經禁止從泰國進口牛隻,也禁止泰國牛隻途經寮國到越南;泰國畜牧廳必要的時候會關閉東北部的牛隻交易市場,避免炭疽病擴散

Plot: Vance wird den Clown demnächst nach dem ablösen.
Die Magas-Extremen vermuten einen Putsch, die Demokraten hoffen auf Mäßigung, die Europäer auf Stabilität und die US-Wähler auf ein Ende des Zollirrwegs. Und schon wird aus dem Techbro und Mr. ein Hoffnungsträger, den alle gewähren lassen (während er alles zerstört)

The terrifying thing about "AI" isn't the technology itself, but what it's revealed about so many of our fellow humans.

It was bad enough that people think learning, skill, and craftsmanship are a waste of time.

Now they believe *existing* can be automated.
