AI tutors are quietly changing how kids in the US study, and the leading apps are from China

Several public school districts in the U.S. have banned access to ChatGPT on school devices, but enforcing a ban on generative AI outright becomes challenging as soon as students leave school premises.

This story made me laugh.  

Typical of anything Gooferment’s “Let’s just ban it” approach to something new and strange.

Worked so well for the drug war and innumerable other Gooferment actions.

Guess they don’t know that humans are infinitely adaptable and equally hard to control. 

(A four year old has taught me that you can’t make someone do what they don’t want to do.  So you better find a better way to get them dressed.)

Opinion
It’s time to stop the unfair, unequal madness of trans athletes destroying women’s sports

It was like watching Usain Bolt compete in the women’s 200 meters and annihilating current world champion Shericka Jackson.

He’s run it in 19.19 seconds, while Jackson’s fastest time is 21.41, over two seconds slower.

That’s not because Bolt is a “better” runner, it’s because he has a bigger, stronger, faster male biology, which is why the sexes are separated in athletics.

And that’s why it’s so unfair for trans athletes to compete against women.

World Athletics has already concluded this and barred them, but many lower-level US sports bodies have been shamefully slow to follow.

Why?

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but it is essential unfair to have men compete against women in athletics.

Unless we handicap them like in horse racing … 

Argh!

As much as I hate to agree with Piers, when he is right, he is right.

Seems so simple.
