I remember in middle school we weren't allowed to use calculators because "how would we learn??". I learned so much from that damn graphing calculator.

Besides, AI is not correct 100% of the time (yet).

Point us to the entrance to the rabbit hole. 🕳️ 🐇

I've been spreading news of gamification for a couple years now.

You have a great take on this. Gold. 🪙

Do you mean publicly released tools that utilize llm’s? Well probably here tbh.

If you want to learn about internal tools/software/networks that haven’t been released…I’m not sure anyone could really be trusted to give accurate information. Ai firms are pretty secretive about such projects.

Just look at Palantir. An ai firm that’s been around for years. Predicted everything from natural disasters to terroirs attacks…but they stay under the radar. I’d wager few in this sub have any knowledge they exist and even fewer have knowledge about its inner workings.

So...

These spiral structures are kinda like the cardboard core of a roll of paper towels?

Or am I misunderstanding?

He also has a podcast which is where the real meat is:

I've seen this idea in a lot of Sci-Fi at this point. I'll talk about two, briefly. First is Mutaneer's Moon, in which automated AI driven education completely replaces teachers and traditional school. Everyone has the ability to look up anything with the power of the literal moon which is a giant machine in that universe. Very unrealistically, people protest for a while and then happily and immediately get in line.

Another is The Diamond Age. In this, people get access to wikipedia+. With this, people an ask any questions they want of the magic book and it'll educate you on anything. In the hands of a naturally curious and talented kid, this makes incredible people.

In both cases these are examples of "self-driven" education, based on AI. Our AI is not that good, is not that reliable or accurate. It's simply gotten to the level where it's tolerable. Given 10-20 years however, we might be able to reach a level of "automated education".

There's a couple of ways this could go. I suspect that at some point after the invention of good auto-ed governments will mandate standards. Much as people can educate themselves with youtube or skillshare now, people could do the same with these programs. With government approval/regulation however, they could also get legally useful degrees and diplomas.

Another is gamification. Imagine school as a game where everyone is competing for the high score. Every bit of education has been made fun using the techniques of modern gaming and AI. Many people hate this idea, but I think it could emerge in the near future.

It could be a wonderful tool, but it could also be terrifying. Imagine a gamified auto-ed system that's better than any traditional school and designed by someone evil. You could create an evil, exploitative, addictive school that pumps out people with whatever malign ideology you like. That's true of regular schools, but these would be magnified to a new level. Dictators could use these tools to shape the next generation.

It could be wonderful, it could be terrible. I believe we'll be getting there eventually though.

The field of robotics may play into this somehow as well.

Its going to be a while until AIs are anything more than very fancy pattern recognition algorithms and data aggregators. Even then I think an "AI teacher" would just be an online course guided by an AI to better tailor it to the individual student.

You'll still need a football coach, ballerina teacher, first aid teacher, etc.. Think of anything you learn today that would suffer from a disembodied voice and maybe a youtube video series being your instructor.
Unless AI gets to the point of triggering muscle groups and programming synapsys for us...then frankly we have much larger questions to worry about than "what does education look like?"

Why would you choose to make your emotions less dominant?

Dows he have a YouTube channel?

I agree, I think that's much closer to happening than what I'm getting at.

My post was likely triggered by this article: https://www.pcgamer.com/this-implant-lets-those-with-severe-paralysis-send-texts-and-use-the-internet-with-just-their-minds/

We can modify our brains now. But if you're poor (or a minority) they'll throw you in prison for it.

Think it's possible?

Can't recall that term. May have to watch them again. 😅

Absolutely. But now imagine we create an actual self-conscious being and the first thing it finds is 4chan. There’s gotta be rules in place beforehand.

Billion dollar endowments based on university incomes become these big balloons of wealth untethered from the organizations that created them. The people from cafeteria to classroom that created that wealth for the organization are abandoned and those 99 wealth balloons will leave us standing pretty in this dust that was our cities. If I could find a souvenir just to prove the world was here and here is a red balloon I'll think of you and let it go.

Have you ever seen The Matrix?

We become "coppertops".

So the AI would be educating and training people?
