As far as we are aware, this is one of the first times that anyone other than pro-AI voices have been given time like this.

Hopefully we will see teacher, student and researcher voices will also be featured in the future.

If you agree that we need a pause on AI in BC schools, it would help a lot immensely if you could sign our petition.

We got a chance to speak on CBC this morning!

Pedro da Silva and Mark Pearmain presented AI as inevitable, that students need to learn how to use it for work, and teachers have to work out how to teach with it.

No mention of whether it helps students.
(it doesn't)

@cxiao @darfplatypus Sorry but I will not allow such unfestive violence. It's June. At least use the right bricks.

With all the Alberta separation news, I have been reading more about the 1980 Québec referendum recently. A long question, which was also a referendum on a referendum, but one that took place before I was born and at a very different time in Canada.

I enjoyed this article on Trudeau Sr's "Elliott" speech, and his other interventions, in the lead up to the 1980 referendum: https://montrealgazette.com/news/1980-referendum-trudeaus-elliott-speech-a-turning-point-in-canadian-history/

1980 referendum: Trudeau's 'Elliott' speech a turning point in Canadian history

Forty years ago, federalist forces clinched the No vote for the Quebec referendum when the then-PM told "the story of my name" at a Montreal rally.
