When examining the lesson plans using Banks' four levels of integration of multicultural content model (PDF), which was developed in the 1990s, we found that the AI-generated civics lessons featured a rather narrow view of history -- often leaving out the experiences of women, Black Americans, Latinos and Latinas, Asian and Pacific Islanders, disabled individuals and other groups that have long been overlooked.

Whatever else the shortcomings might be, "insufficiently race obsessed" is not one of them.

This has to have some caveats. I'm sure some version of instant coffee can beat some version of drip coffee, but there's no way that instant Folgers is gonna beat a decent quality drip coffee.

I'm not even a coffee snob - I typically drink something relatively cheap (eg Cafe Bustelo) with plenty of cream and sugar, but instant just doesn't taste right.

That's not what's happening. That's never what happens. Any time someone uses an ai chat bot as part of their work, they immediately turn into drooling idiots.

Yeah, who needs a chatbot when you can make unqualified claims as statements of fact. You don't even need citations, such as the ones you're claiming (without citation) they make up. (Which just to be clear, they do, a certain amount, although a casual interpretation of your words suggests you're implying "always".)

Look, there are lots of problems with LLMs, but I find it amusing to watch people launch into "what I say is true, because I said it, and it sounds true to me" when talking about LLMs being sources of inaccurate information.

"This is Chinese propaganda"

Do a quick self-learn. The amount of solar panels China was selling to the US before exports was only around 20% of their total solar module exports. Their total solar exports are only about 7% of their total intl trade surplus. They sell as much capacity to Europe in a year as the US has installed *total, nationally*.

I'm not arguing they don't care about loss of business to the US, obviously it impacts them.

But watching the US self-elect to fall farther behind, checking of boxes down a veritable "how to" list of losing US hegemony is far more valuable to them.

In that sense - maybe it is propaganda, but reverse psychology style, because you're doing the lord's work for them.

They do now. Hell, some of them are compromised by the operators.

But I also don't know what mean by an agent being compromised by design. An AI agent is software that uses AI. I don't see how an agent is inherently compromised, but at the same time it's got a turd at it's core.

and current famines in Gaza and Sudan stem from political failures rather than crop failures

Yeah, it turns out that when you don't grow anything yourself, and then you kidnap, rape, and murder your neighbors, it becomes hard to get food.

Also, when you put the people in charge who were responsible for all that, they seem to divert the food that is brought there for you away from you.

But don't worry, useful idiots (as Lenin called them) will blame your neighbors ...
