"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Alpha School, an “AI-powered private school” that heavily relies on AI to teach students and can cost up to $65,000 a year, is AI-generating faulty lesson plans that internal company documentation find sometimes do “more harm than good,” and scraping data from a variety of other online courses without permission to train its own AI, according to former Alpha School employees and internal company documents.

Makes the school system even worse

And of course it's called 'Alpha School', because a.i. and hubris go hand in hand.

Maybe it's Alpha like in software releases - full of bugs and prone to breaking completely.

Internet of Bugs did this video last month.

My guinea pigs get to be lazy, get fresh veggies every day, and a cookie every night. When their pens are cleaned, my wife hides apple pieces or blueberries or carrots in their pen and they have a treasure hunt.

There are worse ways to be treated.
