Many of those who have left are transgender or parents to transgender children...
First group, fair play - unfortunate but fair enough.
Second group, child abusers and should be jailed and not given access to those young minds.
You said "What" and so I repeated with a louder voice, you then said "Fjords?" and I said "You two call it what you want :)" and then you said "Literally be coherent and actually explain what you’re saying" and so I am literally being coherent and explaining what I am saying.
You know, it's not like the old days when people would just shrug and know that they've been trolled :(
40% of fourth graders can't read.
ChatGPT was released to the public on November 30th of 2022.
That's crazy! That's a whole year missing from those fourth graders learning and AI being something available to the public.
It's almost like the teachers are trying to blame something else for them not being able to so their job properly...
Let's check in on the next level of year group that get checked for this, the 8th graders.
The average national reading score for eighth graders in 2024 was 260, a 2-point decrease from 2022 and 5 points lower than the 2019 score of 265. This marks the third consecutive decline since 2019, indicating persistent challenges in student reading achievement.
So pre-AI, pre-pandemic reading was down. Well, down from what exactly?
1992-2002: Scores rose from 260 in 1992 to 263 in 2002, indicating early improvement. That's nice :)
2002-2017: Performance remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 260 and 265, peaking at 268 in 2013.
2017-2024: A slight decline to 263 in 2017, back up to 265 in 2019, down again to 263 in 2022 and then flat-lining to 260 in 2024, marking the lowest score since NAEP began.
Between 1992 (When NAEP started) and 2024 the results were the exact same. We've had the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 in there. If we look at the percentile, lower-performing students (10th and 25th percentiles) scores are now significantly lower than in 1992.
In 1992, 32% of students scored at or above the NAEP Proficient. In 2024, only 30% reached that level, with a record 34% scoring below Basic. That's a decline in reading ability despite two acts focused on increasing it. Learning resources are through the roof and students access information much more readily than ever before.
The pandemic and AI sure seem like a great go-to for this, but the only other constant here has been the teachers. Is it possible the teachers are to blame?
With their reflective practitioner development training and their cognitive dissonance bias awareness you'd think they'd be open to the concept of the problem perhaps being them. Instead of admitting that teachers are of a poorer quality the blame will move onto changes in testing parameters, the weather, Trump - whatever, just never the teachers.
This has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with unionised asshats wanting to blame the world for their inadequacies. Intersectional learning comes with intersectional blame. Fire them all.
Perhaps their quality leaning programs can lean on a lamppost on a dark street corner instead of on our wallets.
We've got to burn down all of 'journalism' right now and start from the ground up.
Nobody challenging anything within the 'narrative' for so long makes them all complicit with actions like this and gamergate.
Burn it down, start afresh and then perhaps those in 'the system' might understand how easy they have it with just reporting what is happening as opposing to opining on how they think things should happen.
Back of the line to the lot of them. I'd rather have people still in school writing the news than people in penthouses.
Agreed.
Some people would dismiss Piet Mondrian, Joan Miro or Henri Matisse as fumbling finger painters with limited colours at their disposal.
And they'd be right.
But for those who can see beyond the simple and into the purpose for it being simple. There's an elegance they each capture so vividly, and uniquely, that transcends many of their works to the sublime.
Lots of AI work will be finger paintings by comparison to their human artists' efforts. But an artist who uses AI well will bring forth something which evokes something in those who perceive it, and that is a special magic which isn't always available to everyone.
Toulouse-Lautrec made his money advertising bars, but that's not the only thing people associate with his works. Perhaps some AI artists will gain fame for their use in bringing about a new medium to the schools of art ;)
Bunch of selfish bastards focusing on the Latine community and excluding their Latinx adelphos.
Here's Wired's take on what happen with The_Donald, I'm pretty sure any lawyer looking for an easy score could take Reddit to the bank and extract all of their money on this one.
Trek Culture can go and find their Lucky Charms. That Sean guy royally pissed on fans of Trek proper and so he can sink in the cesspit he calls home. Ellie, over on WhoCulture, at least saw the flaws as they surfaced and let fans have their uncertainty and unease, maybe even agreed with them while maintaining a professional abstract capacity to their news coverage.
That all said, it's not the worst Trek out there. It's a state of ongoing repair which is still wanting to keep the canon established by NuTrek, so it will fail. But it does a punch to the right arm and says "Remember what Trek was about, back when it was good?" and so knows going in that it's not a winner. I think the humour is what it will be remembered for, the Jem'Hadar/Klingon teacher and the holographic student are both hilarious in their roles.
For a teen coming of age story akin to Disney's Aladdin set within the Trek universe, it works. I'd not say it's anything beyond that, now whether it keeps to that is another story.
Not hating on the new modhood, but an accidental discharge of a finger which led to a removal is pretty funny in this thread xD
