Can't have real humans with unauthorized opinions "corrupting" the minds of our students.

Also, fuck Melania, she's a horrible person, just fucking horrible, like the rest of them.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hard to distinguish who is the robot in the image.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

It's the stiff, uncanny looking figure in white.

This must go hard if you’re stupid

Robot teach to make fuck to get green card.

Nonvoters who helped elect Trump also count.

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Please don't place blame on those disenfranchised voters that were unable to vote due to intentional road blocks.

[–] TotalCourage007@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I'm not fully blaming those guys, its the I don't like politics apathy crowd I'm talking about. I got off my ass to go vote for Harris at least.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Woman with no academic achievements who let a pedophile impregnate her for money offers her academic advice.

Anyway, here's the first lady naked.

Vis a vis, the nudes inclusion: on the first -- and a very honest -- level, I'm just uninterested. Eastern Europe puts out a lot of porn, so I can pretty much picture the equipment she's working with.

But, on a more enlightened level, looking at her nude in response to her opinion feels like commentary on the worth of women tying to their sexual availaibility.

She sucks, and not just because she sucks for pay.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

The way I see it, if conservatives want to engage in an eternal purity test, then I'm going to link to their first lady's nudes on the internet.

She's also an awful person, so that puts my conscience to rest.

She should get her whore hands off our children's education and encourage her husband to get his pedo hands off our children's bodies.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 45 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yes I'm sure this is cheaper than the 40k/yr teacher salary.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Pretty sure the robot companies will give a discount to the department of education if the robot interrupts the lessons with 30 second robot ads every 15 minutes.

Not getting sick, not needing vacation, won't argue against religious indoctrination, can't sue when it gets shot during a school shooting, no health insurance premiums.

Can't tell which one is the "real" robot.

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

American has such a massive hardon for hating on teachers.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 19 hours ago

No, it's mostly just the US. We love teachers in Canada.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 16 points 1 day ago

Well of course it does. An educated populace directly hinders the government. Plus Republicans NEED to keep the populace dumb, angry, and poor. It's the best way to control them and easily push agendas without any push back.

[–] biscuit@lemdro.id 8 points 1 day ago

It's in their best interests to continue the downward trend of education in the US. They literally forced children to say a pledge of allegiance every morning. US has been indoctrinating children for hundreds of years and the only thing stopping them continue that effort are liberal teachers.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not only can AI share a depth and breadth of knowledge, she said, but it can also patiently help children develop "deep critical thinking and independent reasoning abilities," achieve a "more well-rounded lifestyle" as they make time for other activities and become a "more complete person."

haha

More like have more time to work at the sweat shop.

Of course it's one of Elon's cuckbots, probably being driven by some kid in Malaysia

[–] BabyVi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

They wanna put ROBOTS in HUMAN classrooms!

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I don't really believe they want to teach the children critical thinking skills, because if they had them they should question all the Trumptard bullshit.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's almost like we've learned nothing from Covid. Human interaction is crucial for children's developmental well-being. Also, a robot has about as much instructional control over a kid as a computer screen would, and we all know how that turned out when elementary-aged kids came back from at-home learning. Robots can't teach social skills, and without any sort of rapport with students, good luck getting kids to listen to them in the first place. I've said it in another comment recently, but what's to stop a class of rambunctious kids from locking their robo-teacher in a closet or something? The ethics of this whole situation are a clusterfuck.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

No. I learned much better remotely.

The problem with this is that it's not human. Remote learning still gave students access to a human teacher....without having to deal with distractions of other idiot kids who didn't want to be there to learn

[–] Jaybird@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Which one's the robot?

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

Dang that's a convincing robot. The android on the left is pretty cool too.

[–] kcuf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

saying that AI is future, and America's children must become the most technologically fluent in the world.

We used to say our children were the future.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I prefer libraries. With robots, books, & no screens, the kids could maybe survive and even have a shot in hell at something better, but I'm sure that's far from what's being proposed.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 0 points 19 hours ago

This, but only if the robots are just reading books aloud. No gen AI allowed.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Coming from the sex doll with the second (in theory) highest position in the country if not the world.

AI robots as potential, "personalized" educators for America's children in their homes.

Well... it sure is a way to end school shootings...

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

This is just a super duper greatttttt idea from thepaedowife, because, as we all know, that the only thing that can kill a bad guy with a gun is a good robot with a rocket.
I'm absolutely positive the gun toting weirdos that plague american schools will not use this to their advantage.

Plus they get rid of those pesky teachers who can teach kids to think for themselves!!

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Moronic of Melania.

[–] verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 4 points 1 day ago

Iliterate woman pitches robots as teachers. Ooof, no wonder China is running circles around the US on tech.
