The following is a thread based on The Digital Delusion by Dr Jared Cooney Horvath Many points can be transferred to AI apologists. Apology #1: EdTech Has so Much Potential (or Tech is the Future…) Potential is not a basis for policy. Schools should only adopt tech when it has shown clear unequivocal benefits. Fighting Back: Prove it with data! Then we will talk. 🧵1/8 #EdTech #Education

She who must not be named goes after human rights charity for daring to support the human rights of people she does not like. What a hateful nasty person. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/terf-activist-jk-rowling-threatens

"The far right wants Europeans to believe they must choose between staying cool and tackling climate change. They do not. Europe's answer to a hotter future is not more hot air. It is more clean electricity, smarter infrastructure and the confidence to build on what the EU Green Deal started. In a hotter world, investing in the EU Green Deal and electrification is not a luxury. It is Europe's insurance policy." #ClimateCrisis https://euobserver.com/225254/europe-is-boiling...

They finally got AI to think like a human! That human happens to be the drunk guy mansplaining in the pub who is confidently wrong about half of everything he says. Then forgets what he was talking about. Is probably a fascist, definitely a racist. Claims he never said that anyway and passively aggressively apologizes, but not really.

ChatGPT as a cognitive crutch: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial on knowledge retention https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssaho.2025.102287 &quot;Study suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use impaired long-term retention, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory. The findings align with cognitive offloading theory and the ‘desirable difficulties’ principle: while AI assistance may ease initial learning, it appears to undermine the effortful processes needed for r...

Just seen Ecotalk advertised by Chris Packham on a #GreenParty podcast and looked into it. 100% of profits go to rewilding and conserving nature instead of lining the pockets of billionaires. No AI or bots just real people in customer service. It&#39;s backed by EE and has great signal coverage. It&#39;s actually cheaper than my current O2 contract! So I&#39;m giving them a go and see what happens. https://www.ecotalk.co.uk/ #greenparty #noAI
