Should we hire more teachers, increase their funding? Nono, let’s do two hours of ai slop and call it a day.

    Lathe time: Europe, alongside Canada, Australia, and NZ all realize that they don’t need to exploit the global south anymore. Americans will gladly exploit themselves out of some childish desire to “look tough”.

    So naturally the rest of the world will exploit Americans, and it wouldn’t count because Americans explicitly ask to be exploited.

    It’s only 2 hours a day at certain “Charter schools” (idk what those are and I flat out refuse to learn)

    Having these LLMs just disseminating incorrect information to children is a good bit. Americans would rather be wrong than pay teachers more.

      My wife had no idea what charter schools were and thought they sounded “neat”, so I had to learn and then explain to her how awful they are. TL;DR they are horrible and uniquely American.

      They are essentially for-profit schools run within a public school district. They face fewer “regulations” on what they can do. The public school district pays the school money for each student who goes there. They sell themselves as having more ability to address issues in education “creatively” but in reality they just have non-union teachers who they can pay less. Americans are suckers for this because a lot of them buy into the notion that “competition makes for better education”. Practically speaking I can see two reasons they exist:

      ‘1. To make profit. That’s what this AI thing is about, it’s cheaper than teachers and the company that runs the school gets to keep that profit.

      ‘2. Some charter schools are sort of quasi- religious. Like, they can’t be openly religious but they will kinda sneak stuff in there. Lots of American Christians want their kids to get a religious education but can’t afford private religious school.

    It’s a dumbass LLM. Kids are devious. They’ll figure out how to break it within 10 minutes and every “class” will just be about making the TeacherAI say swear words and skibidi toilet.
