Our 45min chat turned into a 2hr 2-parter. Want to hear a couple of veteran teachers (one deep into media literacy, the other deep into digital skilling through #cybersecurity #education) talk about the #AI chaos that surrounds us? This is that: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #onted #cdned

Starting to think that #AI should be legislated so that it can only be used to do things *only* AI can do. If we did this instead of market experimentation with human devaluation we'd solve the problems; less environmental impact, less disinformation, but especially less get rich quick scheming.

Philippines leads the world in rush to solar as power prices soar. Philippines emerges top solar panels market since Iran war began. Rising power bills, outages drive higher panel demand. All thanks to US foreign policy making oil inaccessible?

41C in the UK? In 2015 the IPCC warned world leaders not to breach 1.5C as it would unleash “frequent & severe droughts, heatwaves & rainfall.” We’re now on track for 2C in years, 3C in decades & 4C in our children’s lifetimes. The most spectacular failure of leadership in history.

"MRAgent slashed prompt token consumption to just 118k per sample" venturebeat.com/orchestratio... Tokens aren't standardized. Imagine you pulled up to get gas and a litre meant something different at every station. Even when #ai attempts to measure the work it's all smoke & mirrors.

Remember that time everyone used data centres to complain about data centres? Like using nuclear generated electricity to complain about nuclear power, or complaining about the climate crisis from your Hummer. If you spend a lot of time on social media, you are directly supporting data centres.

Got a new Dell Laptop at work & it comes with a COPILOT KEY next to the right Alt button. I thought OK, I can surely disable this key or remap it to Ctrl. Oh my friends, no. I was foolish. Searching for help came across this, Dell agents aren't even allowed to discuss remapping the copilot key.

OpenAI shipped a telemetry system that logs more than the actual work being done. Codex burning through SSDs at a rate of ~640 TB/year – one user hit 37 TB written in 21 days. On a consumer SSD that’s full drive death in under a year. github.com/openai/codex...

Despite clear prompts directing it to not fabricate data, the AI ignored them and answered using the least amount of time/resources preferring to fabricate. The long and the short of this? Human meticulous research beats the bot because the bot is constrained by a variety of hidden constraints.

#ai "lowers barriers for malicious actors and increases the speed & complexity of attacks, shrinking the window between vulnerability discovery & exploitation" Pretty much word for word what I said at RICET25 last year while Microsoft said, 'don't worry about it, buy our AI cloud solution.'

What data driven #AI adoption in #education looks like. Research clearly shows learning atrophies when students use AI to bypass frictional learning experiences.

The great Canadian connectivity project was railways back in the day. It should be developing a network backbone that requires Canadian businesses to communicate within our borders while offering privacy ensured connections between Europe & Asia. Not as sexy as AI? @mark-carney.bsky.social

Looking at curriculum alignment with @chatterhigh.bsky.social programs. #Quantum is in #onted science curriculum is only explicitly mentioned at the Grade 12 Physics (SPH4U) level? It doesn’t appear by name in earlier grades or in the general Grade 9/10 science courses? We teach C19th physics?
