Most websites are awful… They load slowly, render erratically, and hide their content behind megabytes of JavaScript. They glitch on mobile. They frustrate users and confuse search engines. They’re impossible to maintain. And somehow, we’re calling this progress.
The tragedy is, none of this is necessary. Once upon a time, we had a fast, stable, resilient web. But we replaced it with a JavaScript cargo cult.

Can a person use AI to make art? Of course! There are lots of questions about the ethics of doing that, but it’s certainly possible.
But anyone who can make art using an AI can already make art. AI didn’t make art more accessible to them; not even a little. In most cases, all it did was get in the way of them making art that matters to anyone. It undermined the whole exercise of creating art. The process is the point.

People act like it's a big mystery but it's not?
1. Better educated teachers.
2. More experienced teachers. (as in a ratio to new teachers)
3. Limit class size to 20 students aim for an average of 14.
4. Equip schools with sufficient materials eg: buildings that are safe and functional, internet that works, computers for students, you know the materials.
Most "education innovations" are trying to skip this stuff and use something else instead to save money.

Lauren WeinsteinBTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.
