This piece by Matt Crosslin via Stephen Downes caught my eye:

Education is often a slow process that takes time to build trust and community. You have to go back and repeat things all the time. You have to take the time to be mindful of the process. We know what works in education: time, funding, nutrition, safety for all, etc.

We know that our politicians and leaders are unwilling to fund what works – therefore they so desperately need Ai to fill gaps it is never going to be able to fill.

That way, they can keep money in the hands of their big business cronies, not flowing back to the people that paid for it in taxes in the first place.

Ai (poorly defined as it is, but in it’s current form) is everything that is not needed in education.

At what point do the masses revolt and there is mayhem in the streets over watching money flow into the coffers of the rich? So many possible benefits usurped or diverted by Big Tech here. That school funding, already on the ropes, is targeted makes the acts despicable.

What do you think?
