I have been thinking recently about how to "invite multiple perspectives into the AI conversation". To learn more, check out this article I co-authored with Joseph Pizzo n/a for AMLE. Thanks for inspiring us Shifting Schools Tricia Friedman amle.org/inviting-multi…

This is one of the books I have gone back to again and again and again. My goodness it’s one we need to be talking more about in K12. Highly recommend:

1. One of the problems I often encounter when discussing subjects like this is the absolute lack of nuance. Very basically put, people either concentrate entirely on the harms of lockdowns OR entirely on the harms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Big paper I have been waiting for: what are the real impacts of AI on programmer productivity? It is a randomized controlled trial using the older, less-powerful GPT-3.5 powered Github Copilot for 4,867 coders in Fortune 100 firms. It finds a 26.08% increase in completed tasks.

In prospective #LongCovid study in children — 7.9% had LC at 1 year and 7.1% at 2 years. Seems very bad.

Migrants are not eating pets. Doctors are not murdering newborn babies. Schools are not doing transition surgery on kids. Nobody is taking away your gas stove. You will not be forced to drive an EV. This moral panic nonsense is Trump's campaign platform, and it's all fake.
