Son came home today telling me about a class assignment in which he feels pressured by his teacher to use #AI to do a large part of it. And worried that his own work will look "ugly" if he doesn't. He's in grade 6.

So now we're teaching our kids that AI not only can do their thinking for them, but that their own creativity sucks in comparison.

Wrote a long email to the administration that I'm going to sleep on for now because I'm furious & heartbroken.

Influential study touting #ChatGPT in #education retracted over red flags
“In some cases it appears it was synthesizing very poor quality studies, or mixing together findings from studies that simply cannot be accurately compared due to very different methods, populations, and samples,” Williamson told Ars. “It really seemed like a paper that should not have been published in the first place.”
#Retracted study on ChatGPT in education was already cited hundreds of times. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/influential-study-touting-chatgpt-in-education-retracted-over-red-flags/

Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.

But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.

Hope you like this small update... Over & out!

These queens feed up (they’re famished) search for a suitable nest location - dry and cosy (but not too cosy) - and established their nest.

Bumblebee priority when foraging is the rate of energy return NOT energy efficiency, choosing flowers that maximize immediate return of sugar to the colony over those that require less effort and provide greater energy efficiency.

What strategy do foraging #bumblebees use to decide which flower to choose and how long to work it?
Why the maximum rate of energy return strategy of course,😂 which prioritises the amount of nectar/sugar collected per minute.
