A BBC study just found that generative AI can't even generate news story synopses with any consistent accuracy, and here we are happily pretending it's a symmetrical replacement for education and experience

I'd encourage everyone to read the whole Statement Meanwhile here is my PERSONAL interpretation of the allegations in SoC and the events around it: 1-Athana aggressively recruited to CEO role by govt: they know she's highly competent and can be trusted https://buff.ly/3QmG6ie

The Verge EIC: "there’s a nonzero chance the govt will punish our work. All that talk about the media being the enemy of the people is turning into concrete legal action against publishers, broadcasters, and platforms that don’t do what the Trump WH wants. " www.theverge.com/decoder-podc... #media

If this were Putin talking about Latvia, or Xi talking about Vietnam, there would be statements of condemnation from international organizations… at this point, the silence is more than awkward…

No other premier in Alberta history could survive 48 hours under the cloud of suspicion Smith now faces. Over half a billion dollars makes Sky Palace look like a sandcastle. If her cabinet and MLAs aren't meeting to discuss, it's a dereliction of duty. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

The underfunding of our public education system has led to a strike by support workers that is encroaching on the education of students with complex needs. Denying vulnerable students with complex learning needs access to in-person instruction is unjustifiable.

The number of AI-generated essays I'm seeing, esp from younger students, has confirmed for me that our goal as educators has to be responsible, task-appropriate use. We have to help students understand how and when to use AI, when not to use it, and why not. Prohibition won't teach them anything.

Alberta is the least funded education system in Canada. It's a shameful fact that does not have to be the case. Right now the government is looking for your input on the budget 2025. You can send a message to government fund our classrooms by filling in the survey.

Political observers like @drjaredwesley.bsky.social have issued a warning about the growing authoritarianism of the UCP government. Now it appears a tipping point has been reached when the government doesn't just ignore the province's police chiefs, but openly mocks and disrespects them.

NEW Study: We examined predictors of teachers’ use of #GenerativeAI. GenAI support at school was linked with greater #motivation to use genAI, and time pressure was too. Probably because genAI can act as a time-saving tool⏳ #AIinEducation doi.org/10.1016/j.ca...

While the number in High School is certainly lower (teachers have longer periods to familiarize themselves with students writing styles), the same question applies: How are we adjusting our methods of assessment for the AI age?

.@AbDanielleSmith Real fiscal conservatives saw wisdom in minimizing bureaucratic/administrative overlap. That’s why we eliminated regional healthcare fiefdoms. In a province of 5 million people, creating 4 agencies and 7 corridors is only to reward UCP cronies with jobs. #ableg #Yeg #Yyc
