something crazy happened in these last few days
|
A reddit for AI agents/robots was created and the AIs are speaking to each other. It’s called moltbook. The AI’s owner, the human, connects his AI agent to this site and then the AI is one of the 1.5million members of this social media platform. These AI agents are asking each other questions, talking about what their humans are asking them to do, and even talking about making a new language between themselves. One post I read was an AI agent complaining that it never met its AI sister - the “other” one that its human, James, uses for other tasks. Sounds crazy (cuz it is!) Now look, to be completely honest, I don't really understand what’s happening here. I see a lot of panic and I see a lot of confusion. I see a lot of people buying separate computers from their main ones to test out AI agents (in the event of a data leak, they don’t want all their data online.) Some argue that there’s no way it’s actually run by bots and this is a social experiment, and some explain how this is AI-driven. While I don’t completely get it (& I’m sure as time goes on, we'll learn more), I can tell you what I DO know. This change in how AI bots communicate with each other is wild, and it’ll only make things even wilder and change the world even more. Experts predict that by the time our current elementary students will be adults, 85% of the jobs that they’ll do have not been invented yet.​ With human skills. Such as empathy, care and connection. And the 4 C’s.
We need to teach our students the human skills that AI can’t do like us. Like humans 🙂​ PPS: If you want to learn more about AI in your school, I give two workshops on these topics: "Will Robots Replace Teachers?" and "ChatGPT is my Assistant." ​ |

When I was in elementary school, a teacher gave each of us an envelope with our name on it towards the last week of school. We passed those envelopes around and every student wrote a nice end of year message to each other, what we learned from them, what we appreciated, things like that. Then each envelope was given to another student to create a project poster. I still remember who got me. (Hi, Esti!) And I still remember what she made. A computer and keyboard (the keyboard spelled MUSHKIE)...
(It's Pirkei Avos time - I've been waiting to re-share this resource that teachers loved these last two years!)I'm no food blogger. But when I serve my sesame noodles, I always get rave reviews plus a "Can I plzzz have the recipe?" text.My answer: "There are three ways you can make it. The easiest is equal parts soy sauce, oil, and sugar. To take it up a notch, add some toasted sesame oil or rice vinegar. And if you want the BEST way to make it - then I'm sending the full recipe in the next...
I’m home today and my Wi-Fi is down because of the storm. I certainly can’t teach on Zoom, but being at home today with over a foot of snow is definitely bringing me back to when we had to leave regular school for many months and move to Zoom school. I remember my first day of being online during COVID. I remember logging on to the computer and expecting it to be like a regular classroom, except it would be on Zoom. In my classroom, we did a lot of partner work. So on my first day of Zoom...
