#12Finally, we have hit on how to teach AIs patience.

#13The cynic in me wonders if "AI" has realized that the most efficient way to take over the world is to teach the next generation to be dependent on it for learning.
There will probably be a janky but usable open source version of the model and tool eventually. The "Linux" option. That way the 1% that cares about this stuff can do the self host route and retain control by them controlling what the model tells them(hopefully).

#14Highly recommend the Neal Stephenson book The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, for an interesting exploration of a custom AI tutor for each student.
In that book, students have a "magic book" that teaches them lessons in a story form while encouraging certain life paths. It's pretty fascinating to consider the implications and whether that's something we'll want, bc it may soon be possible.

Replace "AI" with "powerful institutions" and you hit it on the head. Maybe "AI" should stand for "augmented institutions". Maybe you'd be interested in Paulo Freire's book "The Pedagogy of the Oppressed"?
this was my '1984'. i was 15, had it in my head that i was destined to become a revolutionary.
i gave it to a friend and they came away feeling like they needed to become a teacher; i came away wanting to be a novelist, or a father. in any case, it definitely changed my world view. not sure how i'd feel about it nearly a decade later, but i'll take this a sign to re-read. cheers!

> SAT Math: 700 / 800
It will get there, at least it should solve the easier problems correctly
Re: Khan Academy integrates GPT-4 as every student’s customized tutor
#19Given that learning will probably soon not be required anymore to live a successful life (AIs will do everything better than you), I guess such learning-as-a-hobby apps will be the remaining niche to entertain the humans on basic income. I wonder how many people will actually make use of it, though, and how many are instead content with being wireheaded by the various AI-based content apps that will appear, full with…

#20A lot of what GPT-4 can return is ideas based on assumptions and beliefs. Who chooses what of these to train the system? Those subtle ideas will then lead students who are mostly children.
