NVidia, Disney, and DeepMind have unveiled "Blue" a cute little R2D2 like Robot. While it doesn't talk yet, the bells and whistles sound pretty familiar. It responds and you can sort of tell how it is responding. I'm not sure of the applications of these, but it walked out of video onto the stage recently and into the hearts and minds of those who are eager to learn about the future. This is a video I'm sharing with my students.

AI detectors don't work. They don't work. How many times do we have to tell people? This is the article I point to when people don't understand this.

I appreciate the rundown and detail on what Miguel Guhlin heard and his observations about a webinar he attended. His experience is much like mine. The only place we differ is I do not like the term "thought partner." AI doesn't think. It also can't be a partner. A partner implies an equal. It is a tool for thinking, perhaps. I guess I'm careful on anthropomorphising AI as the worldview I want to teach the kids. Otherwise, this is a fantastic overview and very helpful and I'll be sharing it.
