Today's complaint about the AI in education discourse: Too much of it is framed around a future that is going to happen to us, as opposed to seeing the future as something we may have some agency to shape. I reject the deterministic view of AI, particularly genAI. It's a tool, not our master.

GenAI is a fascist infoweapon, and techbros are a supervillain class.
New: TIME reporters were able to use Google’s AI video tool to make convincing videos of Muslims setting fire to a Hindu temple; Chinese researchers handling a bat in a wet lab; and elections worker shredding ballots.
After TIME contacted Google, it began adding a visible watermark to Veo 3 clips

Google’s Veo 3 Can Make Deepfakes of War, Riots, Election Fraud
Google’s Veo 3 lets users make hyper-realistic deepfakes—sparking fears about AI’s role in misinformation online.

The #autistic experience of suddenly understanding that your distaste for a whole lot of the kind of work you’ve done for the past 10 years is b/c it’s not what you *really* wanted to do—you were just mirroring what others in your profession were doing 🫠😭💔

well if we have a human go over everything it does we'll save some money

Two Saturdays ago, a high school teacher and I got 11 high school students together with 9 preservice teachers and had a big conversation about school and teaching and learning. Then, we drafted a collective op-ed. It was published this morning!

It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus.
I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks.
Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.

Individual teachers cannot be expected to solve this problem, and the challenge requires us to get to roots of a system that students see as purely transactional (for good reason) and for which AI can fulfill the transaction. Putting this on individual teachers is simply unfair.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do as a teacher when students are using AI to write personal reflections. We can talk about assessing the process + including more metacognition-focused work, but if students have access to AI, they are using AI. #edusky

I’m not saying AI is evil — god forbid I be that moralistic and clear — I’m saying it is worse than that. It’s MID. Too mid to do much more than externalize some risk, produce some mid documents, and accelerate climate risk as a cute little benefit.
