  • If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.

    1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

    2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

    In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

    Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)



  • Most of the time, technology just makes things happen faster, or at a larger scale.

    With “AI” we’re getting both larger and faster at the same time as businesses try and cash in as quickly as possible once they find out that their “LLM” has been trained on data that means it is in permanent idiot mode, can be unlocked with a few words, hallucinates every second response (oh sorry you’re correct raspberry only has 2 R’s in it), or keeps generating completely racist images.
