"each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine" #school#AI#KI #meme #misinformation #desinformation

@stilloranged: this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me. he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood. it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors

@stilloranged and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here" the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine. With the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world. But with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED

@stilloranged weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

The image is a black and white cartoon depicting a scene in an office setting. On the left, a woman with her hair tied back in a bun is standing and looking at a man seated at a desk. The man is focused on a computer monitor, typing on a keyboard. The woman is wearing a blazer, and the man is dressed in a shirt. The background shows a cityscape with buildings, suggesting an urban environment. The woman is speaking, with a speech bubble above her head that reads, "HOW DO YOU SPELL 'UNPROVOKED', AS IN 'UNPROVOKED ATTACK'?" The man responds with a speech bubble that reads, "IF IT'S RUSSIA OR CHINA, IT'S U.N.P.R.O.V.O.K.E.D. IF IT'S US OR ISRAEL, IT'S P.R.E.E.M.P.T.I.V.E." The cartoon is labeled "friday" in the bottom right corner, and the date "June 2025" is in the bottom left corner.

The image depicts a computer screen with multiple open browser tabs and windows, illustrating a cluttered and busy digital environment. The top of the image features a text overlay that reads, "What the inside of an ADHD person's brain looks like." The screen is filled with numerous tabs, each with its own title and icon, arranged in a disorganized manner. The tabs include various websites and applications, such as "EASY OPENCORE 0.5.7 Comp," "metatomic dashboard," "Damien Singer's present," and "Reddit." The background is dark, and the tabs are in different colors, including blue, red, green, and white. The browser's address bar is visible at the top, and the tabs are stacked in a way that suggests a chaotic and overwhelming experience. The image humorously represents the complexity and multitasking nature of an ADHD person's mind through the metaphor of a cluttered computer screen.

@violenteastcoastcity It's funny and already a #meme but I couldn't find a single source that #Harvard did or publish it.
It's one of these social media jokes, perhaps a student began. There are also different versions of corrections - many on social media made fun of the letter at the same time.

Therefore, it's always important to publish with sources - too much #fakeNews nowadays.
