I honestly don't know why we need LLMs. You're right, the beauty about computers is that they're not human.

We had a big push last year on ensuring that our retrieval isn't simply a pub quiz. Sometimes we found we were getting into a positive feedback loop, where children got all the retrieval correct in lessons, but we were shocked later on when they didn't apply it to any other contexts.

But what's dangerous is that it's so convincing. It's essentially like talking to a friend who doesn't really know an answer but believes they do.

I think it is all to do with memory, as you say. But I also think that we've had such a push on sequencing knowledge in primary schools that we sometimes forget other things that need to be explored within the memory too - trying and failing; expressing yourself creatively; judging and taking risks.

Yes! This is what I want for all of the children in school. We need children to grow into adults who are motivated to learn, especially in an age of misinformation and AI.

Try some Annings cider if you get the chance. It's immense.

I thought it took the majority of the first episode to really get going. Then it picked up dramatically.

I ended today looking like I'd been without sleep for 72 hours. The reality of week 3.

Surely if you're not actually implementing an accessibility plan, and reviewing it often enough for it to remain effective, you can't possibly be following the equality act. It must be a requirement. It's the law. Unless I'm missing something?

The mind boggles. I'll remember this next time I catch myself proof reading an inconsequential email for the 7th time before sending it.
