Tech in the Classroom: A History of Hype and Hysteria

wired.com Elana Klein 2025-11-20 06:00:00

If you’re a parent, an educator, or just someone who’s been to school, you’ve probably developed an opinion about generative AI in classrooms. You might fear the demise of the five-paragraph essay, the ever-increasing ease of cheating, or, worse, the end of critical thinking altogether. But don’t worry: The anxiety surrounding large language models in schools is anything but unprecedented. In 1975, teachers fretted that handheld calculators would undermine students’ capacity to “handle basic sk

Mangle Mangle is a programming language for deductive database programming. It is an extension of Datalog, with various extensions like aggregation, function calls and optional type-checking. Deductive database programming is useful for bringing data from multiple data sources together since it enables us to represent and query that data in a uniform way. It can also be used to model domain knowledge, similar to machine-readable ontology but without being restricted to binary predicates. Data

New Research Finds That ChatGPT Secretly Has a Deep Anti-Human Bias

Do you like AI models? Well, chances are, they sure don't like you back.

What Is the Electric Constant and Why Should You Care?

It's fun to think about the fundamental physical constants. These are special values used in our models of the physical universe. They include things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck’s constant, and they’re “fundamental” in the sense that we can't derive them theoretically, we can only measure them. We use these in solving physics problems all the time, so it’s easy to take them for granted. But why are there such numbers in nature, and why do they just happen to
