We could be surprised. But we just aren’t. We’ve lived this before. There are so many parallels between AI’s journey and the internet revolution. Here’s another one!

ChatGPT’s integrated ads is just another step in monetization of our data.

Grok Posts Sexual Images of Minors After ‘Lapses in Safeguards’ Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said “lapses in safeguards” led to the generation of sexualized images of minors that it posted to social media site X.

X/grok creating and platforming sexually explicit material of children isn’t just a lapse, it’s criminal.

Elon Musk and his companies should be held to account.

It’s been over a year since I dumped X. It was the right decision then and even more so now. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Oddsock would like you to know ANY technology and #AI that abuses children and women is outright awful and it makes him very mad. It's an angry dog worthy thing and you should be mad at any technology like that too. #BurnItAllDown

Day 4 of the 2025 Appvent Calendar Welcome to Day 4 of the #24DaysOfAI Appvent Calendar. Today’s focus is Seesaw, a platform already familiar to many primary schools for the way it connects pupils, teachers and families. What stands out this year is how Seesaw is beginning to weave AI into the routines teachers already use, supporting workload without adding complexity or creating yet another separate tool to manage.

Day 3 of the 2025 Appvent Calendar In education, when it comes to your ecosystem, the productivity suite and core tools that frame most of your use, you normally sit in one of two camps. For the most part, you can often undertake similar activities when it comes to things like word processing, presentations, working with numbers etc. But in recent times, one of those two seem to have pulled away a bit; not just in terms of the opportunities provided from their AI tools, but in how they link so closely to education.
