Revered friends. I wrote a thing. Mainly because I had a stack of stuff on Joseph Weizenbaum on tap and the AI classroom thing was stuck in my head. I don't know if it's good, but it's certainly written.

It relies heavily on an incredibly simplified framing of educational practice as simply ‘effective information delivery’.

Oh god they really think that, don't they? That you could take any guy, put him with a script in a classroom to read and it would be just as good. Jesus christ. I never considered that.

To be fair the more imaginative ones have entire educational models built around teaching the societally transformative power of bitcoin.
