But the article doesn’t really make it clear how much AI is involved in the textbooks, just that “Digital textbooks that make use of artificial intelligence are being adopted throughout South Korea.”, emphasis mine.

Other text from the article, relevant to your question:

South Korea, the 2025 APEC chair, held the group’s first education ministers’ meeting in nine years, the theme of which was innovation in digital education. Education ministers from 21 countries and regions participated.
[…]
Private companies and government-affiliated organizations set up booths at the APEC venue to promote their efforts. They exhibited software in which generative AI writes student evaluations on behalf of teachers or assigns homework and applied problems tailored to each child’s level of understanding.

The road to implementation was not a smooth one.

The government’s original goal was the world’s first rollout of AI digital textbooks to all schools nationwide. But teachers worried about the burden that making full use of the technology would place on them, while parents questioned whether the textbooks would actually improve student performance and whether they could lead to digital dependency.

After heated debate, lawmakers made last-minute changes, including requiring continued use of paper textbooks for subjects such as Korean and home economics and delaying implementation for other subjects. The government also made plans to provide advanced training to more than 160,000 teachers as well as dispatch 1,200 digital tutors as support staff.

I upvoted you, because it was funny and made me laugh :D

post is too unfortunately

they don’t think it be like it is but it do

I wonder if you’re running into the same thing that I’ve had quite a bit of issue with in the last few weeks on lemmy.world.

When I go to the ‘copy’ of a post on lemmy.world from another instance, I will get the same message of “You must log in or register to comment.”
Only by searching for the post on lemmy.world, clicking through to it, and then also refreshing, does lemmy seem to acknowledge that I am in fact logged in! But only if I do those steps in that order.

EDIT: I’ve made it a bit easier for myself by setting up the search engine in my browser: https://lemmy.world/search?q=%25s
So that I can just copy any other instance link, go to the address bar and type ls (the keyword I chose for the search engine), paste in the link and then go to the lemmy.world version from there, and refresh the page.

I used to be able to just use the Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin extension by cynber, but for the last few weeks I have to do the whole search and refresh dance instead.

You just made me remember how I called her “little star” for years, after the Beau Taplin poem..

No clue why I stopped. I’m going to start back up, and see what she thinks :)

Yes. I always figured it made sense, after I read an article that talked about how a study posited that yawning helped bring more oxygen into the body, which would temporarily make you more alert. So based on that, I figured it made sense why you’d get more tired, if you couldn’t yawn.

Ayy, same day!

That Imginn link that mediocreme_ow posted seems promising, but otherwise in a pinch, I have good results with opening Instagram posts from profiles by opening them in a new tab. If you just don’t click them, but instead open them in a new tab, I don’t get hit with the “create an account”.

Oh, I had no idea that Alexandrite could pop the comment section out on the side of the main feed, so you don’t have to leave the front page in order to read comments. That is amazing, I’ve been wanting that ever since moving to Lemmy.

I think that Firefox (and Firefox forks, like Zen Browser) have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue may just kill support for Firefox if Firefox does permit ad blocking

An argument could also be made that Firefox and its forks have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue won’t want to deal with the extra work of keeping those users out.

Thank you so much for sharing the video! I really enjoyed it, and I’m excited to check out more videos from him. I took a quick look at the other videos he’s uploaded, and they look really interesting.

In the same vein, with my family I’ve been using the analogy of “Imagine that all law enforcement had a key to your home, and they could enter at any time and look through your things, but you wouldn’t even know it if they did, or if they took photos or recorded videos of your place to take with them. Their argument is that the only way to keep you and your stuff safe from the bad guys is for the good guys to have access. But because the good guys now have access, it’s also easier for the bad guys to get in, because now there’s all these extra keys to your home out there, which might fall into the hands of the bad guys.”

Not a perfect analogy, but it seems to make them consider the issue from a more personal angle. And for those that argue, “Well, I don’t have anything to hide.”, I usually counter with “Then why do you close your curtains/blinds when you change your clothes or get out of the shower?” With my dad who grew up during the World War II, it also helped to mention that a law like this, once on the books, will not be easy to overturn, and while he might be fine with our current regime having access to all his data, that might not be the case with future authorities.

Haha! Ah, I feel that. We often have to break up her videos into a multiple-days-watch, because of the length and discussions they inspire.

I love me some ContraPoints and Philosophy Tube. Whenever ContraPoints releases a new video, it’s like a big movie night for me and my girlfriend.

Interesting, I’d never heard of Kavita, so have just been using Calibre all these years. Did you start out on Kavita, or did you move from Calibre, or another software?

aegis for Age of Empires II. Instant building, gathering, research, etc. And of course marco for revealing map and polo to remove fog of war. cheese steak jimmy’s for extra food and lumberjack for extra wood. I always struggled to manage those two resources. But even more importantly, how do you turn this on, for that cool siege sports car.

Man, I played a lot of AoE as a child and teenager.

That honestly sounds really cool. Thanks for sharing!

What kinda animals can you make? Are there some that you excel at in particular that are out of the more ordinary repertoire?

Music, without a doubt. Specifically, being able to choose particular songs to listen to. I’d get pretty miserable after a few days.

Also, outside the US WhatsApp is some kind of standard the way rich Americans think iMessage is. Companies will ask her to contact them on WhatsApp, so she’ll have to have it regardless of your personal involvement.

That really depends on the country that the family member is moving to, and is not an absolute thing world-wide.
