I think it’s fine for this to be poorly defined; what I want is something aligned with reality beyond op-eds. Qualitative evidence isn’t bad; but I think it needs to be aggregated instead of anecdoted. Humans are real bad at judging how the kids are doing (complaints like the OP are older than liberal education, no?); I don’t want to continue the pattern. A bunch of old people worrying too much about students not reading shakespear in classes is how we got the cancel culture moral panic - I’d rather learn from that mistake.

A handful of thoughts: There are longitudinal studies that interview kids at intervals; are any of these getting real weird swings? Some kids have AI earlier; are they much different from similar peers without? Where’s the broad interviews/story collection from the kids? Are they worried? How would they describe their use and their peers use of AI?

One of the more important knowledge repositories right now… and it’s tied to a corporation. We should probably be supporting alternatives.

Anybody know of data backups? Do we have the whole thing on the internet archive?

As far as I can tell, the strongest data is wrt literacy and numeracy, and both of those are dropping linearly with previous downward trends from before AI, am I wrong? We’re also still seeing kids from lockdown, which seems like a much more obvious ‘oh that’s a problem’ than the AI stuff.

Honest question: how do we measure critical thinking and creativity in students?

If we’re going to claim that education is being destroyed (and show we’re better than our great^n grandparents complaining about the printing press), I think we should try to have actual data instead of these think-pieces and anecdata from teachers. Every other technology that the kids were using had think-pieces and anecdata.

I think this is the proper way to treat games that you’re done developing. My only requests might be:

• Adding a way to self-host an instance (with mod tools)
• Open sourcing (so the community can fix their own bugs)

Not FOSS, but ad free and its been able to find the hidden RSS feeds for things OK. FeedDemon at: http://bradsoft.com/

Probably not what you are after, but maybe someone with a similar question.

Favorite so far was probably Talos Principle 2. It was excellent, best movie of the year. And the puzzles were fun too.

Somebody dropped a fair bit of cash and got Balders Gate 3 running for everyone. It’s been big enough to fill a lot of time, but probably wont solve the problem when we’re not all on vacation.

Factorio is a dangerous, but very fun, suggestion =)

Didn’t realize it could do more than 2! That’s wonderful!

As is the open variant: Minetest (Mineclone mod if you want vanilla)!

I didn’t realize Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime did more than 2! That’s great!

Both actually! Two different groups of 3. Offline bunch has ended up doing baba is you for the last year or so (not coop, but puzzles are pretty easy to backseat game).

I’ve been using Memorix for years, and have no complaints. Light weight, backup and export features, color coding, repeatable reminders, and you can attach photos if needed. OTOH, not open source afaik.

The checking things off will persist though; for daily things that I want to repeat I manage them in the notifications tray instead of in the app.
