You know the one. Or maybe you don't? IDC, not my problem.
- Dem strategist: Listen up, everyone. I've come up with a plan to lose a generation of voters:
- Let's at least remember not to treat this new generation like our parents treated us when they insisted that "no child left behind" and "participation trophies" were good for us and then later scorned us for expecting awards for participation.
- But there's a world of difference between elementary (even secondary) school kids getting a participation trophy for just showing up and awarding college degrees for work they didn't even do. Like, these students are not even participating! They're cheating! They are to be scorned!
- I vaguely recall some people getting super upset (like, end-democracy-about-it upset) over the learning loss associated with one semester of remote school in the recent pandemic?
“Massive #s of students are going to emerge... who are essentially illiterate. Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate + having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” This isn't the only reason AI is bad, but it's why it is bad for students.

- This is it! If you don't know what good writing is or what makes it good, of course you think an LLM can produce it.
- I tried to good faith earnestly think about what I would use ChatGPT for, and I came back with nothing. This isn’t a brag, maybe it would be different if I worked in tech, but I can not understand why anyone else would use it
- Reading your reply I just realized that as someone who occasionally writes, both fiction and non-, not *once* have I even considered using an LLM even to assist. So I think I am bragging?
- fox news taking acting like its not part of the media to extreme lvls as alwys
- It's wild how "mainstream media" never includes the most popular cable news network and its affiliates.
- the solution to this is to treat education and schooling as the pursuit of knowledge rather than a grist mill for training subservient corporate employees
- unironically we should outlaw homework
- Yes! It hasn't really caught on nationally, but some schools/districts have had a lot of success with "flipped" curriculum: teachingcommons.stanford.edu/teaching-gui...
