Linda McMahon: "AI is definitely a tool used correctly. I've seen it in action. I have visited the Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where they use AI for the first two hours every single morning. The students have their headsets on, they are watching their computers ... it is incredibly effective"

The ๐ง toss is a nod to NWNoggin @nwnoggin.bsky.social, the group that got me tossing brains for neuroscience outreach. We bring real brains into classrooms โฆ we only toss the 3D models though. Been so deep in the studio prepping for next weekโs show that I havenโt had much time outside it lately.

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.
