Does using AI make us smarter, or just more confident?

Does using AI make us smarter, or just more confident?

This ep covers a recent study on how generative AI affects our “metacognition” – our ability to judge our own performance. Researchers tracked hundreds of people solving logical reasoning problems with and without AI.

O capitalismo algorítmico e a subversão possível

Agora está claro: sistema deixou de lado as máscaras da civilização e progresso e assumiu sua face de caos e guerra. Apoia-se em tecnologias que nos desconstituem. Ainda assim, espalham-se resistências. Que novas formas de luta e organização podem dar-lhes densidade?

The AI Iceberg: Understanding ChatGPT

Analogies are useful for understanding complex ideas, and there are plenty of complexities for educators trying to wrap their heads around ChatGPT. In this post, I’ll try to explain some of the features of the chatbot and the model it’s built on top of. I'm deliberately avoiding any kind of analogy that represents the AI as magical, mythical, human, or godlike - we've seen enough of them. I’m not claiming that this analogy is watertight or that there is no better way to conceptualise […]

Practical Strategies for ChatGPT in education

ChatGPT isn't the first AI language model, but it's definitely the one that has taken AI mainstream. Beyond the media hype about cheating, there are some very practical uses for these new technologies for teachers. This post covers six areas where teachers could use ChatGPT with examples of the kinds of prompt you can use to get the best results: Planning Refreshing Improvising Personalising Collaborating Communicating If you're looking for a post on the basics of AI, language models, […]

Chatbots don’t make sense – they make words

Despite the hype surrounding advanced Large Language Models like GPT-4, there is yet to be any evidence that these kinds of AI can think. In this post, I'm exploring how chatbots are built and trained, and why a little technical understanding goes a long way. Knowing even the broad strokes of how large language models are constructed helps to understand why they "hallucinate" (I prefer fabricate) information, why the output isn't grounded in any real truth, and why, ultimately, they don't […]

Google finally launches Gemini, its newest large‑language model promising tighter AI tool integration. Meanwhile, a slip at McKinsey shows even giants can overlook basics in Enterprise AI strategy. What does this mean for the race against xAI, Grok, and Musk’s own AI ambitions? Dive into the details. #GoogleGemini #LargeLanguageModel #McKinsey #EnterpriseAI
