The #LLM #Misinformation #Problem I Was Not Expecting

Another example of non-vetted AI results includes how some online content inaccurately describes authentication, creating misinformation that continues to confuse students. For instance, some #AI LLM results describe Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as an authentication type. While it does support password authentication and serve up public key certificates to aid in PKI authentication, LDAP is a directory service. It is not an authentication protocol.

Everything #politicians tell you about #immigration is wrong. This is how it actually works

source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/29/politicians-immigration-wrong-cheap-labour

The misleading assertion that #poverty causes #migration conceals the fact that #labour demand has been the main driver of growing immigration to western countries since the 1990s. More widespread #education, women’s #emancipation and #population ageing have led to labour shortages; these have fuelled a growing demand for #migrant workers in sectors such as #agriculture, #construction, #cleaning, #hospitality, #transport and food processing, as supplies of local #workers willing and able to do such jobs have increasingly run dry. Without such chronic labour shortages, most migrants wouldn’t have come.

What happens when a #school bans #smartphones? A complete #transformation

source: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/17/cellphone-smartphone-bans-schools

Another effect has been a surge of students signing up for the school’s photography class, which uses film cameras. Enrollment nearly tripled. While a popular new #teacher may have been a factor, Light Phones also don’t have cameras.

I find the article quite superficial. Sure, the students are interested in analog photography again, but they don't learn anything about #media competence. What will they need more of later in #life?

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand

I should like to say that you have, through your knowledge, powers which humans have never had before. You can use these powers well or you can use them ill. You will use them well if you realize that humankind is all one family and that we can all be happy or we can all be miserable.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Interview by Woodrow Wyatt, BBC TV (1959)
