I think that AI is fundamentally in opposition to the principles of Jesuit education and the IPP.

Inspired by @lmsacasas 's recent piece, I've been trying to articulate why I have such a strong reaction to AI evangelists in education. https://socraticreview.org/blog/2025/1/ai-and-the-humanities-first-questions

@overcastfm Weird bug I’ve noticed recently: random podcasts will place themselves at the top of my primary playlist as if they’re marked as “priority” but they’re not. Others download and sort as expected.

Give kids the opportunity to learn and practice new things in a low-stakes environment. Failure is important in life, but it needn't always be costly or dangerous.

@overcastfm I tried deleting and reinstalling but still a few bugs:
- When an episode ends, it doesn’t play the next/top episode, just stops. (Tried changing the setting off and on.)
- Doesn’t automatically delete played episodes. (Again, tried deleting and rechecking the setting.)
- Says I’ve changed the icon, but the icon doesn’t actually change.
- Thumbnail for Roderick on the Line disappeared, which is obviously the biggest bug of all.

@overcastfm I’ve noticed a weird bug where an episode will finish and delete, and then the next podcast that comes up shows artwork for the new show, but description is from the episode that just finished/deleted.

How do you spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest...

"You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of #science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a #dream, why do we have #toes, why is the #moon round, what is the birthday of the #world, why is #grass #green?"These are profound, important #questions. They just #bubble right out of them.You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become #incurious.Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade." #CarlSagan
