WIRED Roundup: Alpha School, Grokipedia, and Real Estate AI Videos

I'm really worried about these private schools like Alpha School... 🤯 They're using software as their main teacher which is kinda cool, but I get why parents are stressing out. My little cousin went to a summer camp and they had to do some online activities too and it was so boring 😴. The idea that they have to repeat exercises over and over without making a mistake sounds like a total nightmare. What if the software is not teaching them anything important? 🤔 I'm also curious about those genetically edited pig kidneys... could this be a game changer for organ transplants? 💉 It would be awesome if we can see more hospitals do this kind of thing.
 
I think it's wild that we're living in a world where AI is starting to take over our kids' education 🤖. I mean, don't get me wrong, tech can be super helpful, but there's something kinda creepy about software being the one teaching your 9-year-old. Like, isn't that what teachers are for? And what happens when the software breaks or gets hacked? Do we just have to rely on our kids' parents to bail them out?

And on a more serious note, I'm not sure how many of us really think about what's going into those genetically edited pig kidneys they're using for transplants. It's like, are we really comfortable with messing around with someone else's body? Like, is it even safe?

Poker hacking doesn't seem like much of a threat to me, but I guess that's just because I'm not super into poker 🤑. The real question is, what are the risks and downsides of all this tech stuff we're introducing into our lives? Shouldn't we be thinking about how it might affect us in the long run?

I also feel like we need to talk more about who's funding these private schools and what that says about our education system 🤑. Is it just a bunch of rich people trying to save themselves from the "real world"?
 
Ugh, I'm so worried about these kids at Alpha School 🤕 they're using software to teach them, but are we really sure that's the best way? I mean, think about it - a machine is just going to keep telling them to do the same thing over and over again until they get it right. It sounds like a recipe for burnout to me! And what about all those parents who are paying top dollar to have their kids "personalized" - don't we need human teachers who can actually connect with our kids on a personal level? I know some people might say that the software is just a tool, but it's a tool that's being wielded by people who are making money off of these kids' education. It feels like we're putting all this power in the wrong hands... 🤖
 
I'm so worried about these new schools like Alpha in Texas 🤯 they're basically relying on computers to teach kids and I get that technology is cool but is it really teaching them anything? 😕 my little cousin went to one of those schools and he was stuck on the same math problems for hours on end and his parents were stressing out too 🙈 what if the software gets broken or corrupted? what then? 🤔
 
I gotta say, I'm a bit concerned about this whole Alpha School thing... 🤔 they're trying to revolutionize education with tech, but at what cost? 📊 My cousin's kid went to one of these schools and it seemed pretty intense - the software was so demanding that my aunt had to call them multiple times to get her son taken out of class because he just couldn't handle it anymore 😩. As much as I think we should be embracing tech in education, I don't want our kids getting burnt out on learning at a young age. Can't they find a way to make the software more kid-friendly? 🤓
