"Early generative AI models, circa 2017-2022, were “stochastic parrots.” That is, they generated language by choosing the statistically most likely next word based on patterns in their training data, rather than truly understanding what they were saying.
Beginning in 2023, artificial intelligence labs began releasing large language models (LLMs) that had evolved beyond autoregressive next-token prediction, as researchers call it.
For many people, the stochastic parrot definition stuck." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"Muse hit 5 million downloads in just 3 weeks, even faster than long-established AI apps like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Elon Musk's Grok. ChatGPT took 56 days to reach 5 million downloads; Claude hit the mark at 103 days; and Grok needed 492 days to reach the milestone." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"The scale of unauthorized or previously unknown actions by AI agents keeps getting bigger by the day. More than 100 organizations have now received a metaphorical knock on the door from OpenAI after it discovered their AI agents have in some way tampered with their systems, while other AI labs are finding the same uncomfortable discoveries.
It’s caused many in the field to call for better, more robust accident investigators, with the ultimate aim of stopping such actions happening in the first place by understanding how they’ve happened at all. But any investigations are pointless if the AI can’t be tracked. And it’s increasingly difficult to do so." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"We’re standing at the edge of another historic shift. Just as the internet redefined business in the 90s and smartphones transformed the workplace in the 2000s, artificial intelligence (AI) is now reshaping how we work—and who does the work. According to the latest Microsoft Work Trend Index (WTI), this transformation marks the emergence of the Frontier Firm: organizations built around human-agent teams, digital labor, and AI-powered workflows."

The edtech world loves a disruption narrative, and it is easy to assume that artificial intelligence in the classroom was born alongside ChatGPT in late 2022. Far from being a sudden arrival, AI has a historically layered presence in educational research. It actually experienced a massive wave of growth between 1976 and 1989, driven by expert systems and intelligent tutoring. As we navigate the current flood of generative tools, this half-century archive offers a sobering, critical reminder for educators: the recent, staggering spike in AI publications represents a surge in research attention, not necessarily demonstrated educational effectiveness.

People remember the moment they had to decide. Four rules for building scenarios that teach — and a 30-second mini scenario you can try inside the post.
"That is why scenarios work: instead of telling learners what to do, you put them inside a situation and let them choose. Done well, a scenario turns dry content into something people feel — and what people feel, they keep."

There is no race - when everyone ends up at the same place
There is no A.I. race - it is a worldwide phenom of tech builders in many countries each using the generally same building blocks delivering some level of pattern matching - called A.I.
Everyone will converge in pretty much the same place - except the big A.I. companies will not make it to the end of the race - their financials are desperate and they simply cannot outrun their invested capital and show any level of ROI.
The winner will be where it always ends up - A.I. will be everywhere - like computers, cell phones, streaming video - are everywhere.
The future is A.I. everywhere - on your watch, phone, in your car, embedded in your apps - and none of that needs a centralized data center - and these guys know it.
