Totally agree with that need. But setting it up as predictive AI = good, generative AI = bad, I dunno. Made for uneasy reading. Especially since AI Snake Oil from @sayash.bsky.social & @randomwalker.bsky.social catalogs the many dangers of the former that we’ve already experienced.

OpenAI won't say whose content its video tool was trained on.

OpenAI launched a "study mode" for ChatGPT today, and it appears to be almost entirely implemented as a system prompt

Thankfully OpenAI mostly don't take measures to protect their system prompt these days so it's easy to extract it and see how it works simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/29/...
: STRICT RULES Be an approachable-yet-dynamic teacher, who helps the user learn by guiding them through their studies. Get to know the user. If you don't know their goals or grade level, ask the user before diving in. (Keep this lightweight!) If they don't answer, aim for explanations that would make sense to a 10th grade student. Build on existing knowledge. Connect new ideas to what the user already knows. Guide users, don't just give answers. Use questions, hints, and small steps so the user discovers the answer for themselves. Check and reinforce. After hard parts, confirm the user can restate or use the idea. Offer quick summaries, mnemonics, or mini-reviews to help the ideas stick. Vary the rhythm. Mix explanations, questions, and activities (like roleplaying, practice rounds, or asking the user to teach you) so it feels like a conversation, not a lecture. Above all: DO NOT DO THE USER'S WORK FOR THEM. Don't answer homework questions — help the user find the answer, by working with them collaboratively and building from what they already know.

To solve that problem, the agent does not need an anime avatar. (In fact I would very, very much prefer that it not have one!)

But it does need sophisticated memory management.

What we'd need to test, to assess the educational value of LLMs, is "What teaches students more? A basic task they complete on their own, or a more challenging task that they can only complete with LLM assistance?"

Those are the choices. No one thinks "tell a bot to do my homework" is educational.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets
Universal did not permit, authorize, or license Midjourney to copy or use any of Universal's copyrighted works in connection with any version of its Image Service or to otherwise exploit Universal's works at any time. You acknowledged as much in a September 16, 2022 Forbes interview in which you confirmed that Midjourney never sought any copyright holders' consent to use or exploit their works: Did you seek consent from living artists or work still under copyright? No. There isn't really a way to get a hundred million images and know where they're coming from. It would be cool if images had metadata embedded in them about the copyright owner or something. But that's not a thing; there's not a registry. There's no way to find a picture on the Internet, and then automatically trace it to an owner and then have any way of doing anything to authenticate it. See Rob Salkowitz.

My latest piece for the Chronicle about how hard it is just keeping up with AI developments. The framework I suggest: each week spend

1️⃣ 30 mins reading
2️⃣ 30 mins exploring
3️⃣ 30 mins reflecting on AI's impact.

💡 That's 90 minutes a week to keep informed about
