  @siwek@social.tooinconsistent.com @zzt@mas.to I'm normally a very skeptical guy and cynical about Reddit stories but I can absolutely believe this story happened.

  RE: https://scholar.social/@olivia/116895347041158720 "When technology companies offer teachers and students ‘AI training’ or promote ‘AI literacy,’ they are engaged in brand marketing, framed as a progressive, philanthropically fundable intervention.
