While I appreciate everyone dunking on Musks claim that he'll release an accurate (whatever that means) version of the Odyssey by pointing out all the inaccuracies in the clip aren't we a little afraid that will be used to train the AI to remove all the inaccuracies?

A great read about a topic that deserves to be analyzed with nuance, but rarely is these days - phones. I think we're kidding ourselves if we think the Haidts of the world are right that just taking the phones away will instantly solve everything - and Luther does a great job of pointing that out.

Full piece here laying out the messiness of my thoughts around this: ⓵ strict, all-day phone bans made a clear difference ⓶ they also came at a cost with our students/families ⓷ ...we're still waiting on evidence that they do much good? thebrokencopier.substack.com/p/a-year-of-...

Went to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library today. And after being instructed to get my picture taken while entering my personal information (hard pass on that one guys) came across this sign. Absolutely do not freaking need this.

A sign from the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library titled "TALK WITH TR" 

Rest of sign goes on to talk about how Roosevelt was an early adopter of technology, so why not have AI you can "talk" to.

In this sense, I will continue to beat the drum that AI is a BIGGER problem than pieces like this acknowledge even while maintaining that the largest part of the solution lies in teaching our students (you know, the job).
