      It confirms my suspicion that she was in fact a robot. And the monster was an allegory for the humanity she craved

    Parents are already propping their kids up in front of a tablet as soon as they can lift their heads. This is just the next logical step to completely disconnecting from raising them.

    These kids are going to get all As and come out of high school completely feral and unable to read or write.

      Yep! Parents can pay to have their child kidnapped and tortured. Fuckers like Dr Phil even broadcast kids getting shipped off to rape camp to audience applause.

      The US refused to sign the UN convention on the rights of the child. There’s really an understanding that parents own their children. You can deny schooling (my brother was “homeschooled” for years - he played video games and jerked off while my mom nodded on benzos -and my attempts to get intervention were laughed off), you can deny medical care (how many dead JW kids from the blood transfusion bullshit?), do anything short of causing obvious bodily harm.

      Child liberation is a necessary civil rights movement.

    AI: Always Indian. The call centers will educate our children.

    Facetiousness aside, AI isn’t ready for many things. Right now I am trying to have a RPG Maker hentai game translated, but there are lots of issues. For example, the AI tends to drop these brackets, 「」, even when I give instructions to not drop them.

    If an AI can’t handle such details, I don’t think it should sculpt the minds of children.

    Honestly, I love the way the school is structured with the exception of the use of Ai. I think that real teachers and subject matter experts could do the same job as the Ai while also being “guides”.

      Yes, but AI don’t join/create unions. They don’t have rights. Actually, if human teachers wouldn’t demand rights, they’d probably hire them.

    That is, by definition, not a school.

    Schools teach information.

    This is a hallucination mill.

      I hope that, at least, AI there will be using RAG system and some real information sources. Otherwise, as you have mentioned, it would be a hell of education.

          It’s a chat bot that googles your question before answering in the hopes to cut down on hallucinations. It doesn’t solve this problem at all.

            Your explanation is not completely correct. More correct explanation would be: an AI chatbot that has an ability to gather relatable info to the user input from internal or external sources allowing the AI model to answer more precisely on questions even if the model wasn’t trained on this data at all. This lowers the amount and degree of hallucinations to some point but doesn’t eliminate them.

          I don’t think it will make enough difference, but RAG stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation.

          There’s a few ways to do it, but basically it’s a way add extra information to the conversation. By default the model only knows what it generates, plus what is in the conversation. RAG adds extra information to the mix.

          The simplest approach is to scan the conversation for keywords and add information based on them.

          So you ask “what is the capital of France” and instead of the model answering/hallucinating by itself, your app could send the full Wikipedia page for France along with your question, and the model will almost always return the correct answer from the Wikipedia page and hallucinate much less. In practice it gets a lot more complicated and I’m not up to date on recent RAG but the idea is the same.

          A separate subsystem for an AI chatbot that allows it to get related to the user input information from text files(database) without scanning it all each time or having as an input to the promt, thus reducing hallucinations since instead of telling you something “from the head” it has an input in the form like this: user_input+info_content+memory.

          Despite RAG being really helpful in many ways it doesn’t eliminate hallucinations completely. Only lowers them to some point.

      Those people are paying $55,000/year for attendance.

      They will never work a day in their life with parents that rich.

    Alpha Schools, opening this fall in the former GEMS Academy in Lakeshore East, says its AI-driven model can help students learn core academics in just two hours a day, freeing up time for workshops, unique projects and learning various life skills.

    Well that is a little hard to believe. I have a feeling that these kids will be woefully unprepared for college…

    The school will serve 100 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, with plans to expand in the future

    Oh my. I’m sorry, these kids will be woefully unprepared for high school. They will crash and burn when they get dumped into a totally different learning environment with kids whose parents can’t afford $55,00 per year for elementary school tuition.

      I’ve seen this happen a billion times with private school kids. Private schools suck at teaching math. It just doesn’t happen. Those kids drown in Algebra 1.

      I’ve helped picked up the pieces after similar “educations” and it’s bad. Teaching adults how to carry in addition or the concept of a variable. High school students that don’t have their times tables.

      Education is a fundamental human right. The Right has been working to strip it in the US since Brown v Board of Ed.

          I was in the same boat myself about 15 years ago, and it was bad even then, I cant even imagine how it is now.

          You know how we used to have to memorize phone numbers but then smartphones came around and now nobody can recall more than a handful from memory? I’m no better, I can recall my wife’s, moms, dads, and work, but I couldn’t tell you any other relevant number to save my life today.

          Now take that paradigm and apply it to general thought. What happens when all our thinking gets reduced to queries and does not grow beyond that?
