Bespaart generatieve AI docenten werk of juist niet?
In zijn artikel “More work for teacher? The ironies of GenAI as a labour-saving technology” bespreekt Neil Selwyn de complexe relatie tussen generatieve AI en het werk van docenten. Hij betwijfelt of deze toepassingen docenten daadwerkelijk tijd besparen. Ik vraag me af of deze twijfels gerechtvaardigd zijn.

Day 14 cont 🗣️🎙️📺 🇺🇸

“Price was appointed to lead a government efficiency unit if the #Coalition government is elected after 3 May. The unit, which would sit within the prime minister’s department, has been compared to one led by US #tech billionaire Elon Musk (#TechWeenie, #Oligarch), whose Department of Government #Efficiency, or Doge, is taking a razor to US government departments.

“Let’s be very, very clear, media, you’re obsessed with Donald Trump 🎃. We’re not obsessed with Donald Trump. We’re actually obsessed with ensuring that we can improve the circumstances for #Australians,” she said.”

Devoid of any #policy, #analysis, #costing, #ideas an LNP Senator makes a word salad of foreign phrases about making the “Bond market” sexy again, from a #BowlingClub on a Saturday in #Perth.

Repeat the slogans,
Repeat the slogans,
Repeat the #slogans.

Today I saw two offices offering the same service.

One looked straight out of 1998: paper slips, folders, a pen tied with a string.
The other looked like it could print your passport in 2 minutes.

Which one is more efficient? 🤔
Which one makes you fill out three forms just to get an appointment?

And if you were offered a job at either one, everything else being equal…
👉 Which would you choose?

First office.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

   All men in whose character there is not an element of hardened baseness must admit the need in our public life of those qualities which we somewhat vaguely group together when we speak of “reform,” and all men of sound mind must also admit the need of efficiency.
   There are, of course, men of such low moral type, or of such ingrained cynicism, that they do not believe in the possibility of making anything better, or do not care to see things better. There are also men who are slightly disordered mentally, or who are cursed with a moral twist which makes them champion reforms less from a desire to do good to others than as a kind of tribute to their own righteousness, for the sake of emphasizing their own superiority. From neither of these classes can we get any real help in the unending struggle for righteousness.
   There remains the great body of the people, including the entire body of those through whom the salvation of the people must ultimately be worked out. All these men combine or seek to combine in varying degrees the quality of striving after the ideal, that is, the quality which makes men reformers, and the quality of so striving through practical methods — the quality which makes men efficient. Both qualities are absolutely essential. The absence of either makes the presence of the other worthless or worse.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

Efficiency
How optimally a system uses resources by minimizing unused capacity, at the cost of flexibility and resilience.

Effectiveness
How well a system achieves its goals while maintaining reserve capacity for resilience, adaptation, and peak demands.

Highly efficient systems may be vulnerable to disruption, while effective systems maintain deliberate slack for robustness and responsiveness to changing conditions.

had to go up 26 flights of stairs thanks to the finbro and techbro efficiency of the Wall Street investment bank that, with the backing of the OPEC mafia, privatized these once government-subsidized affordable housing buildings and been gaslighting the unsuspecting by calling them “luxury housing”.

26 flights of stairs.

on a friday evening.

when there’s nobody around to repair them, thanks to their union busting ways.

there is really nothing quite like techbro and finbro #efficiency.

“The upheaval at the #US government's #Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, aka CISA, took another twist on Tuesday, as it moved to reinstate staffers it had #fired over the past few weeks - specifically those still in their probationary period - though they've been benched on paid leave for now.

Last week, a senior penetration tester at CISA claimed his 100-plus-strong #RedTeam as well as its support workers were dismissed after Elon #Musk's Trump-blessed cost-trimming #DOGE unit pulled the plug on a federal government contract; a second #CISA red team was also said to have been cut soon after.

The cyber-agency quickly confirmed it had indeed dumped a number of workers, and said its remaining red teams will continue to operate as usual.”

The sacking of #tech workers continues.
