“Rather than inventing AI literacy from educated guesses or principles from past technologies, we should train novices based on the practices of disciplinary experts who have achieved AI fluency in their discipline. Unfortunately, there aren’t any such experts yet.” Slow down, everybody.
Opinion | Stop Pretending You Know How to Teach AI
Colleges are racing to make students ‘fluent.’ One problem: No one knows what that means.

“Professors with the most experience teaching students to use technology believe that no one yet understands how to integrate AI into curricula without risking terrible educational consequences.” Hmmm.
“…greater emphasis on creative human thinking. Students must be able to envision new solutions, make unexpected connections & judge when a novel concept is likely to be fruitful…be comfortable & adept at grasping new concepts. This requires flexible intelligence, driven by curiosity.” -Michael Clune

One of the oddest aspects of centrism is the propensity to fruitlessly assuage the people who hate you at the cost of pissing off your allies to the point where they become another group that can’t work with you.

Capitalism is a death cult.
New report from @policyalternatives.ca and @iris-recherche.bsky.social shows a clear link between greater privatization in health care services and higher mortality rates—just as multiple Canadian provinces work actively to privatize those services www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
Mortality and health care privatization: A comparison between countries - CCPA
Privatization is deadly. Canada needs to learn from other countries and focus on public health care instead.

This is shockingly cruel. That it’s the supposed Labour Party doing this adds to the hurt and dismay. All these Labour MPs should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and should be drummed out of office with great speed.
Shabana Mahmood tells Sunday Times it should take 20 years for somebody granted refugee status in UK to secure permanent status (ie, reapply 6 times) if came without permission.

No money for literacy. No national literacy strategy.
Lots of money for generative AI and to create a national AI strategy.
Nothing for people. Just the usual transfer of wealth to corporations.
It’s as if they want us all to be as bereft of imagination, creativity and compassion as they are.

The federal government tabled its long-awaited budget on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 - Budget 2025 I reviewed the document to see what it might hold for literacy, training, and skills development. Not surprisingly, there is no mention of literacy, essential skills, or Skills for Success. Beyond the Labour Market Transfer Agreements, the federal government has not prioritized these areas in recent years.

“You can have your austerity fast or you can have it slow. You can have it in a strident adversarial package, in a package with dulcet tones and great hair, or in a knee-jerk nationalism that flickers like a mirage when you get too close.“ Oh Canada. Let’s get off this roundabout. Please.

Ugh. This version of the LPC really highlights the power of the PMO. It’s basically the same group of people but policies on poverty, accessibility, immigration and climate change are so different. Or, perhaps, it reflects how good it is when the NDP hold the balance of power 🍊✊
"This leaves the minority federal government in a position of having to eke out enough supportive votes from the Green Party and the seven-person NDP or risk being plunged into a pre-Christmas election campaign ... But this budget burned whatever olive branch it might have extended to the NDP"

With so much on the line, the newly elected federal government has tabled a budget that, in many ways, could pass as a Conservative budget.
