Education Secretary Wants 'A1' in Classrooms
- cornhole 2y agoI haven’t used a1 steak sauce in a while
- jmclnx 2y agoI want her hauled in front of a real Judge for breaking Federal Laws.
- mofeien 2y agoI also wish our children all have an A1 day in their classrooms!
- madcaptenor 2y agoI thought it was called Al
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoHow would you like to be Education Secretary? You appear to be more qualified than Linda McMahon.
- fancyfredbot 2y agoMaybe in a meritocracy...
- madcaptenor 2y agoI have kids and I would like to not see education in this country dismantled, so yeah, I'd be interested in the job. But can I work remotely? I don't want to uproot them to move to DC.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoNext best thing may be your local school board. They tend to collect crazies who are just using it as a stepping stone to a higher power political career, so having somebody involved who cares about doing the actual job is often very appreciated buy teachers. At least where I live most education funding is not federal anyhow, so total dismantling isn't imminent whatever the feds like to think.

- xnx 2y agoA1 is outdated technology. The Chinese are already on A2.
- gscott 2y agoSoon, critical thinking may vanish from education for most kids. The wealthy will keep real teachers, while poor students get limited AI holograms—all to cut costs and keep taxes low for the top 0.01%.
- andrewstuart2 2y agoDon't forget that the profit also goes to the 0.01% because there's nothing to trickle down to.
- mwigdahl 2y agoSuvins and stabils, burgers and slines, straight out of Neal Stephenson's _Anathem_.
- clueless 2y agoThis is so embarrassing.. What is this country doing?
- EA-3167 2y agoOf all the things going on now, a slip of the tongue seems pretty benign, doubly so compared to the CONTENT of the message in question which is somewhat alarming (albeit inevitable). George W. Bush would crank out far more nonsensical phrases on a weekly basis, Reagan was a mumbling goon, Nixon was a lunatic. People who think that we just woke up to find that politics was messy and full of incompetence baffle me. It's possible to believe that Trump is a disaster and still keep a measure of objectivity.
- bobchadwick 2y agoTo add to your point, we elected George W. Bush again after hearing four years of his gibberish (and after he, you know, starting a devastating war). That was 20 year ago.
- brandall10 2y agoSaying 'A1' is not a gaffe - that's the mistake of someone who literally has no idea what they're talking about.
- cj 2y agoI could see someone making that mistake if they misread off of a notecard or teleprompter. I have some sympathy though. I habitually mix up "SEO" and "CEO" (and I do one of those things as a full time job). I don't have dyslexia - it's only those 2 acronyms I constantly mix up, but only when talking out loud or thinking in my head, never when writing.
- EA-3167 2y agoI have some bad news for you... most people in tech don't know what they're talking about regarding "AI", never mind politicians.
- 7ero 2y agoThey're serving steak in schools these days?
- bobchadwick 2y agoWait, am I reading this wrong, or is she seriously proposing replacing kindergarteners with A1?
- rdtsc 2y agoA1? In classrooms? Criminal! Kids should be taught that a good steak doesn't need A1 sauce!
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoI was in my 20's before I learned this. Public education really let me down.
- kmoser 2y agoThey can mix it with ketchup (which, according to Reagan is a vegetable) to make a balanced, nutritious meal.
- mattbrewsbytes 2y agoI mean have you tried the cafeteria steak? They're not doing medium rare filet back there.
- rdtsc 2y agoFair point!
- fancyfredbot 2y ago[flagged]
- blitzar 2y agoHow do you make billions and not know the difference between a upper case / lower case letter "i" and the numeral "1"?
- belter 2y ago[flagged]
- zzrrt 2y ago1 vs I is a reading error anyone could make on seeing something for the first time. The real question is how do you be a national leader and go on stage to discuss "AI" with so little understanding of it that you don't detect your misreading, and so little to say about it other than we're going to start using it. The answer is that this administration's members aren't chosen for competence, they are chosen for loyalty and grift.
- Trasmatta 2y agoIf A1 is so great, how come they never made A2?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- Ekaros 2y agoI get A5 and A4 perfectly good. A3 is acceptable for arts. So is A2, albeit getting big and that takes time to work on. But A1? That is half a square meter. Quite a lot to force kids to deal with. What next A0 for entire square meter? Or A-1? That would be 4 times the A1...
- fragmede 2y agowhat the US lost by not adopting the A system hurts my soul.
- tedunangst 2y agoMaybe try pairing it with AMD's new Al aluminum CPUs. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/ai-300-series/amd-ryzen-ai-max-plus-395.html https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/ai-3...
- viraptor 2y agoThere's a chance it's a stupid publicity stunt. It would not be the first time a republican would do something like that, but almost every time it happens on Twitter. Compared to how bad the idea itself is, maybe we can save some energy by ignoring the A1 part.

- spc476 2y agoWait! I thought President Trump was getting ride of the Department of Education. How is there still an Education Secretary?
- anon6362 2y agoThere are many better BBQ sauces. A1 is for cube steak and other trash.
- akmarinov 2y agoTo be fair - she’s 76. Go and ask your grandma what AI is and see what you get. Now why that person’s in charge of education is beyond me
