How are AI‑powered schools like Alpha School changing education outcomes?

And we have friends now that are that are using AI and that are building schools and they have schools that have way better results. And the teachers' unions want to argue that those results are not better. And by the way, it's not all AI all day. They spend a lot of time with people and with values and with projects and with human skills. But yes, AI is better at seeing our are we talking about alpha school? I mean alpha school is one of them. Their techniques and their outcomes. There there have there's been a lot of different different views on this from a lot of my smartest friends, and it's very clear these kids are way ahead. We're gonna he's gonna keep building it because it's his money, and we're gonna we're gonna prove it, and parents are gonna choose.

But but listen, I promise it's a sales pitch. No, it's not a sales pitch. It's the guy who's more competent than almost anyone here. He's worth tens of billions of dollars for building hundreds of companies over the last 30 years. He's extremely good at what he does, he deeply cares about America. He built it for his kids, and we have a lot of our friends' kids going there who are smart and and they're doing projects and they're learning and the AI actually can see where you are and how to teach how to like see what skills you need in math in a certain other area. It just it's obvious it can. It's like on its face obvious. You go in and see these kids are behind, and when these kids are with certain kids are behind, you can catch them up by seeing what they don't know.

And there's things like this, it just works. And if parents want to choose that, you're on the left. If you are again. a leftist thing that is how to

Joe Allen 1:16

stop them. That is an insane thing to say that you're on the left if you oppose parents choosing education. If your parents choosing that education you're you're and you're against that

that that is a leftist thing.

Joe Allen 1:26

I can I can say from my own personal experience that I when I finally did make it to school which was only a community college at first and then eventually universities. When I eventually went to school, I was confronted with the evil monolith of the monolith of the left, right? And I will say they definitely made it very uncomfortable to talk about things like human biodiversity or the downsides of certain sexual arrangements. And certainly they made it very uncomfortable to talk about the inherent sort of beauty of America and the American founding. That is how I cut my teeth. I had human beings. And by the way, they were not all just evil human beings. They were a little insufferable at times, but this human-to-human transmission of culture, whether it is one of catechism, in which a human teaches another human what a religious worldview should be, or if it is me arguing back and forth with my

Joe Allen 2:26

Professors about whether or not black crime rates might in fact be the reason for the disproportionate police encounters. All of these taught me what it meant to be a human, human confronting other humans. Now, especially post-COVID, especially after the lockdowns, especially after the valorization of first ed tech and working from home, and now AI tutors. It is supposed to be a human to machine to human. And then, if for some reason the dreams of the transhumanists and post-humanists who are by and large developing these technologies at the frontier, if that dream is true, it is no longer human to human. It's no longer human to machine to human. It's not even machine to human because what are we anymore?

Joe Allen 3:13

It is simply machine to machine. So I would I would say that for me, the case of Alpha School still being again, we don't really know exactly whether that works. And in the case of, say, El Salvador, you know, all praise to Buckeley for getting rid of the gangs. But it would appear that the small sample size of this 171 school study is probably not going to be representative necessarily of what the future of AI education will. Two questions.

Unknown 3:41

Good. Uh let me ask both of you a question because I I think what what comes out in this is that take the data center issue that it's not just data centers, is that there's two levels to it, right?
