Tja. Dette messes fra politikere dag ut og dag inn. Som en som har daglig kontakt med studenter på flere trinn: De får nok arbeidserfaring. Faktisk skal resten av livet bestå av det. De kommer til erfare mer enn nok at arbeidslivet, det er der. De skal jobbe som bare rakkern. Det er ikke mangel—
Mulig kontroversielt, men jeg mener at både studenter og elever skal jobbe litt ved siden av studiene/skolen. Fordi man lærer like mye av å gjøre som av teori, og fordi stadig flere opplever overgangen til arbeidslivet som tøff etter lange studieløp. Arbeid er bra for ferdigheter og selvtillit.
Tror de fleste er enige i at det er absurd at medisinstudenter og de som tar PPU og lignende skal jobbe ved siden av. De skal lære for mye og det de skal lære er for viktig. Men hvorfor mener vi som samfunn at statsvitenskap, materialkjemi eller idéhistorie er så mye mindre viktig?

Fascinerande korleis mainstream-posisjonen i Arbeidarpartiet har gått frå å vere at lett tilgjengeleg utdanning er det desidert mest effektive tiltaket for sosial utjamning; til at dei no ser med stort mishag og ikkje så reint lite mistenksamheit særleg på høgare utdanning.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Some day I hope we'll learn the full story of how AI got into schools in England via consultancies, government contracts, think tanks and big tech cash, but for now here's a brief thread highlighting a few key actors and activities
We hear a lot about AI in education in the US on here, so can I just tell you about how it's working out in the schools sector in England? It's interesting! It's about data consultants, private education outfits and think tanks. Slow thread...

Så deilig at noen endelig sier dette. Det hadde vært interessant å vite enda mer om finansieringen her.
Langsikt er ikke en tenketank, det er en lobbyorganisasjon finansiert av tech-oligark-penger som også brukes som kjølelager for politikere uten jobb og forskere som ikke vil jobbe med faktisk forskning og hadde det ikke vært for diverse nepobabies i staben hadde ingen brydd seg om den

As I tell my students, historically speaking, the % of British women who never have children has been remarkably stable for the last 100 years in the face of huge demographic shifts. Women having kids later gets confused with a significant rise in childlessness that's not yet happening #skystorians
You've probably heard that US fertility is "below replacement level." But what does that actually mean???

If I could offer students one bit of…advice: be brutally traditional about what is printed on your degree.
If you are first-gen or in any way non traditional, this goes double. Let rich kids get degrees in AI. You get something called “English”.

The danger is that degrees are regarded as worthless as nobody believes students have acquired any skills any more, at least not ones they couldn't have hot from just going into an office job from school.
In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.
