Things stay the same, until they don't. AI is a tool that talks. So it can evangelize itself, and now with "agency" it can even walk all around the company infra and become that 15-year-old who told dad that something could b

It made me think of Memento. So here the agents know their long-term memory limitations and impairment and so make notes for themselves to be able to retrieve the past.

Yes, p-hacking happens, incentives in academia are increasingly misaligned etc, but I assume that there are competent people and systems to avoid such obvious issues? It's science 101 to avoid spurious correlations. Sure there might be

Yes, people working at anthropic: please, please, please tell me this is fixed. Or do you all speak like this now. Help!

Phonics wasn't introduced for the longest time, and that makes it worse. But systematic phonics too can be bad when the focus is on narrow skills. Why in the world should I care about these artificial sounds (phonemes) is the question

OP here. IITian who went through that, absolutely loathed RG culture and how everything around exists to put blinders on you and focus on meaningless exams even after. Escaped to neuroscience right after. Our microschool exists because I wo

scaling is definitely a hard challenge and made harder because we want to standardize whatever the product is. Does anyone know? But it isn't just us. There's a hundred year history of alternative education showing essentially thi

We already do, collectively! That's culture. And I think it is okay to demonstrate what we value because that's how we pass on interests. But this works when we also allow for the agency and autonomy to explore and pick. Culture e

It's more of a dance than a balance because the way we learn is going from the whole to the parts and back. Meaning first does not mean asking/getting them to grasp something complex. It is about showing and creating a world where

We run a microschool and our single most important realization is this. We need to allow for meaning before mechanics. Schooling has a gravitational pull that inverts this because of our obsession with Measurement. We learn, and we can lear

Nice work. "No video leaves your machine." Either Claude specifically or AI models in general use this phrasing now and No teeth are left un-gnashed as a result. Uggh I wonder why it's so aggravating.

I don't understand this part. How did they not test the HF credentials? OpenAI reached out to Hugging Face for help to revoke the Hugging Face credentials they found in their investigation. Hugging Face told them they were already revo

Self Plug Alert! For those interested in topic, our book Journey of the Mind would be a great introduction from a systems-thinking perspective. As you'll see on goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show

We don't get virtuous feedback loops in hardware though. Muscles are incredible engineering that took half a billion years. Token generation (speech) is low hundred thousands maybe. Unless of course improved AI navigates the space of i

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Can you please share a specific example of what you describe? Does the student stop asking why after a while?

I don't understand any of the math here, but I had two thoughts. Soon we'll have explainer agents that translate these according to my level so I can, with effort and interest, follow along and stretch my understanding boundary bi

Congratulations on the launch! How do you solve for "meaning?" Is there some implicit expectation that kids arrive with motivation to discover meaning, or some extrinsic rewards? As AI essentially commoditizes the mechanical aspec

by ChaitanyaSai 2mo ago
The thing I do not understand here because it seems obvious: AI will be a commodity market and you simply cannot have a large PE multiple. So the valuations imagine a global commodity monopoly or duopoly coupled with the increased intellige
