https://danmeyer.substack.com/p/teachers-process-petabytes-of-data
robertogreco… don’t you think we’ll get closer to [some ideal application of AI in learning] once the tool has a memory and can, over time, develop its own (technical) understanding of the child’s accumulated knowledge? [..] I could imagine an AI tool, like above, but this time it holds the knowledge of all of the students in a specific classroom, giving it the ability to engage the students in the class as a group, drawing on each students’ knowledge.
***
I visited a math classroom in Richmond, CA, last week. I walked into the classroom and took in the noise. Healthy buzz. A little apprehension given the extra adults in the room maybe.
I noticed the arrangement of the class. Students at individual desks shaped in a U. That’d affect the kinds of conversations we could have. The flow of energy.
I noticed individual students and their relationships. Some high energy, others more subdued. I tried to intuit why they were subdued or high energy. Could we recruit their energy—whatever it was—into math learning? Some of the students would need to be persuaded it was worth their while to generate energy for math. Others had surplus energy but needed to transfer it to math. Both would require different invitations.
The teacher started with a question about sales tax and tipping, asking students what they knew about those features of modern commerce. Extremely useful sensory information flying at us here. Some students will eagerly participate in a conversation about context but less eagerly in a conversation about math. If you can draw those students into a conversation about math, their participation may convince other students that math conversations are possible for them as well.

During classwork, I noticed a kid who seemed stuck on this screen about a broken cash register. I asked him how I could help. He kept looking at the screen. I asked him what he understood about the question. Still looking at the screen. I noticed where he was looking on the screen. Not at the 7% sales tax rate but at the numbers themselves. I figured he was trying to figure out where those numbers even came from. Were they all just arbitrary?
I asked him how he thought the price and tax made the total. We made progress there. I asked him where he thought the tax number came from. Was it random? What if someone tried to scam you and just put whatever number they wanted there? How would you know if it was the right tax?
He pointed to the 7% on his screen. I worked through the sandwich calculation with him. Okay, here is his elbow partner. She’s plugged into our conversation. What is their relationship like? Can I ask them to work independently for a moment and then check their answer for the donut calculation with each other? Let’s try that.
***
I took a nap in the break room at the end of my first full day of teaching. I slept so hard I swear I hit REM sleep and had a dream. My eyes and ears and every other sense had never ingested and processed so much information over such a brief stretch of time.
I’m not sure how to convert all of that information into whatever a petabyte is but I am telling you that a single classroom is loaded with them. The petabytes. Trying to ingest and process the vibes of a class alone, like—
1. How are we feeling today?
2. Where are we at in the semester?
3. Who is ready for how much more thinking right now?
—is not a task for mortals. And much less a task for generative AI as it exists now at the end of 2023.
No, I cannot imagine generative AI adequately supporting that student or that class. I cannot imagine imagining it.
This could be, of course, a failure of my imagination. But it’s striking that the majority of my work with that student was non-verbal. He didn’t ask for my help but every one of my senses told me he needed it. As I asked him questions, he answered not by typing thoughts into a chat interface or even forming them out loud. Rather, he answered me, at first, by looking anxiously around a screen.
To help him, I used visual and auditory and cognitive systems that have been evolving under natural selection for millions of years. My mammalian ancestors hid from predators in the savannah so I could notice a student struggle to calculate tax on a sandwich. I would love nothing more than to see new tools help more students love learning math but it is not a critique of these tools to say, “You are neat, but maybe find a lane that suits you better than classroom teaching.”
It is a critique to say that many of you should hang out in classrooms and watch the work of teaching more often. You should ask yourself more often, “How on earth did that teacher know to make that decision in that moment with that student?” After you answer that question across the hundreds of different moments that every teacher has with their students every day, and maybe even after you try that work once or twice yourself, I promise that you will have everything you need to answer the question, “How will I train a machine to do this work?”"]]>danmeyer 2024 teaching howweteach chatbots ai artificialintelligence information pedagogyhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:364082360db6/A Quiet Practice | James Gardner Davis | Substack2024-02-22T04:24:27+00:00

robertogrecothe ironies of a bunch of hyperliterates using a giant text machine to bootstrap text into a thing that exceeds the bounds of comprehension and then totally overwhelms all the tools of literacy itself
I’ve spent most of my life enmeshed in language, with words as my main power, and also a lot of time dwelling on the insufficiency of language to what life is really like. These days the latter sometimes feels like the main thing about words. Or at least the main thing about the dominant culture of words, the technology and system of them.
The tools of literacy — I don’t exactly mean to run them down. We just live in a time when, for whole classes of human, a kind of hypertrophied literacy has enmeshed and eclipsed the experience of reality. This isn’t so much new as it’s just newly vast, encompassing, interconnected. The language machine is so big, so ramified, that the sheer mathematical accumulation of its products now feeds deafening oceans of noise back into the workings. Whether by this I mean the outputs of machine learning or the behavior of a few billion minds over-saturated with internet bullshit: I’m not sure it even matters.
We’ve all had our part in building this, and you can get endlessly meta about the endless meta of it, which is part of how it exceeds the bounds of comprehension. All of that is… Not really how I want to spend my time. I don’t have any grand thesis here, or at least I don’t have any grand prescription.
There was a time when I was a big word fish in a small word pond, I guess. Somewhere along the way the contemporary internet happened and also I got a job where being a big word fish was a basic prerequisite. Circa now: Sweet Christ am I ever weary of paragraphs. There’s something useful in knowing that, if I don’t chase my own tail about it too much."]]>via:justinpickard literacy internet web online language writing reading text howwewrite howweread internetoferrors machinelearning ai artificialintelligence interconnectedhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f0808a9c4cca/Pluralistic: Sympathy for the spammer (15 Jan 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow2024-01-16T23:07:15+00:00

https://blog.ayjay.org/two-quotations-on-corporations/
robertogrecoCorporations do not share our priorities. They are hive organisms constructed out of teeming workers who join or leave the collective: those who participate within it subordinate their goals to that of the collective, which pursues the three corporate objectives of growth, profitability, and pain avoidance. (The sources of pain a corporate organism seeks to avoid are lawsuits, prosecution, and a drop in shareholder value.)
Corporations have a mean life expectancy of around 30 years, but are potentially immortal; they live only in the present, having little regard for past or (thanks to short term accounting regulations) the deep future: and they generally exhibit a sociopathic lack of empathy. […]
We are now living in a global state that has been structured for the benefit of non-human entities with non-human goals. They have enormous media reach, which they use to distract attention from threats to their own survival. They also have an enormous ability to support litigation against public participation, except in the very limited circumstances where such action is forbidden. Individual atomized humans are thus either co-opted by these entities (you can live very nicely as a CEO or a politician, as long as you don’t bite the feeding hand) or steamrollered if they try to resist.
In short, we are living in the aftermath of an alien invasion.
James Bridle (2022):
https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ways_of_Being/Jqg9EAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover
In the last few years, I have given talks at conferences and spoken on panels about the social impacts of new technology, and as a result I am sometimes asked when ‘real’ AI will arrive – meaning the era of super-intelligent machines, capable of transcending human abilities and superseding us. When this happens, I often answer: it’s already here. It’s corporations. This usually gets an uncertain half-laugh, so I explain further. We tend to imagine AI as embodied in something like a robot, or a computer, but it can really be instantiated as anything. Imagine a system with clearly defined goals, sensors and effectors for reading and interacting with the world, the ability to recognize pleasure and pain as attractors and things to avoid, the resources to carry out its will, and the legal and social standing to see that its needs are catered for, even respected. That’s a description of an AI – it’s also a description of a modern corporation…. Corporate speech is protected, corporate personhood recognized, and corporate desires are given freedom, legitimacy and sometimes violent force by international trade laws, state regulation – or lack thereof – and the norms and expectations of capitalist society. Corporations mostly use humans as their sensors and effectors; they also employ logistics and communications networks, arbitrage labour and financial markets, and recalculate the value of locations, rewards and incentives based on shifting input and context. Crucially, they lack empathy, or loyalty, and they are hard – although not impossible – to kill.
