Why do these tech giants receive GPT-4 access much earlier than regular seed startups? Is it fair?!

#22A 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.
I don't think this is such a problem if it is teaching calc-3 and stays on topic. If it's teaching humanities I can see there would be more of an issue.

#23Would love to see "Ender's game" type AI which can train the students with custom questions and answers.

#24This is extremely powerful. I wish this existed when I was a kid.

I don't know that I would classify Khan Academy as a tech giant. For the sake of argument let's say they are. Yes it is fair for them to get access earlier. Why would it not be?

#26Highly 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.
Ractors for hire!
Once AI can generate videos, we just need pervasive surveillance capability to insert context-aware content into the stories.
The Primer was able to identify the protagonist's family member and pet toys in its personalized myth.
I wonder which TTRPG sourcebook will have the first credit to ChatGPT in DriveThruRPG :)
Procedurally-generated worlds plus conversational NPCs!

#27Just to be clear: it's not for every student (at least not yet!). We are in a research phase sharing it with a limited subset of users. More details about our approach to the responsible development of AI: https://blog.khanacademy.org/aiguidelines/
Do you know if/how someone can get involved with this at the research phase? I have a daughter who will be entering 1st grade next year and I'd be interested in having her try this out if there was a way of signing up.

Surely on HN of all places we understand that life is not fair. OpenAI is looking out for their own bottom line. That means money, and PR.

Because tech giants can write checks that don't bounce (off of SVB).

#30This reminds me of CGP Grey’s “Digital Aristotle”, which actually references both Khan Academy and A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer
