"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Explain to me how a decade of busywork teaches children how to learn.
It doesn't.
It's a consequence of government departments and school administration lacking knowledge of pedagogy forcing underpaid and overworked educators to teach their pupils how to pass standardized tests. It's a consequence of a cultural and societal de-prioritization and outright disdain for critical thinking.
It's a consequence of shifting the focus away from learning how to learn and towards learning how to work, a focus that has clearly impacted your view of education. You were failed by a system that was designed to fail you.
It clearly teaches children how to learn in a way that serves the ruling class: uncuriously, only on command, and not beyond specifications.
