Louisiana schools use Artificial Intelligence to help young children learn to read
  • Do you think the department of education writes the textbooks, standardized tests (SAT, ACT, etc.), grading and student management software, learning management systems (Google Classroom, Canvas), or manufactures its own classroom tech (Chromebooks, tablets)? The education system is full of for-profit businesses that can jack up the prices, and they do. The DOE simply doesn't have the resources to create these things themselves and would cost them far more if they tried. The only new thing here is the AI, the business model has existed forever

    Personally, I'm more concerned with the use of Google products in schools. A company that's sole business is harvesting user data and selling it to advertisers should have no place in schools or children's products. But they've embedded themselves into everything so people just accept it at the cost of privacy

  • Louisiana schools use Artificial Intelligence to help young children learn to read
  • helping children learn to read sounds like an ideal use case for an LLM. An app that utilizes its own users interactions to enhance its own capabilities is not inherently malicious and is vastly different from selling user data to third parties or training on scraped content from others.

    And what are you even talking about with the "children could face disciplinary or legal consequences for noncompliance" nonsense. where was that in the article?

  • UDM Pro or PFsense and why?
  • I use pfSense on a Protectli vault with a Unifi Pro switch and Unifi AP. it all works great. I prefer pfSense over the full unified UDM gateway, pfSense appears to offer more features and plugins. but I haven't played with the unifi gateway myself. also a lot cheaper

  • Is the new #zed editor mostly hype rn?
  • I'm a fellow Sublime user and recently got excited about trying Zed. it's a good editor and fairly similar to Sublime, but lacked some language support and the plugins are still very few compared to other mature editors. also, it's not quite as configurable as Sublime, for example choosing the LSP or linters. but it's still in early development with frequent updates so I keep it installed and watch the releases

  • anyone hates the reddit karma system?
  • I enjoyed the concept, but then it turned into just reposting and trash posts for karma mining. then I switched to Lemmy and ditched Reddit completely and no longer care about anything Reddit does
