How's your Saturday going? Today we have three-activity normality with an added side of confusion and madly going back for the guitar.
Aaand having attempted to get rid of forced mantra "transwomen are women" we now have forced prayers.
Bet the Greens don't even see the irony.
A new, and previously unconsidered threat of AI:
Our students have all regurgitated the same theory of Vygotsky in their in-person, hand-written developmental psychology exams.
Problems?
1. the curriculum included only a very brief, one line mention of Vygotsky
2. it wasn't relevant to the question
They have all clearly asked Chat GPT to give them a set of Developmental Psychology revision notes, and then regurgitated them in the exam regardless of what the question is.
Other problems (which AI is not helping):
1. They don't know what "cultural" means.
2. They don't know what "infancy", "childhood" or "adolescence" mean.
In such scenarios, the one thing we know for sure is that there will be lots of unknown unknowns, as my co-authors @shaicarmi.bsky.social, @hankgreely.bsky.social and I describe here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?
NEW: "WellBN GP practice was inappropriately prescribing medications to children and young people for the clinical indication of gender dysphoria.... potential harm has been caused to... 78 children and young people."
