Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In which Dan chats with Benjamin Riley, founder of Cognitive Resonance, an organization dedicated to replacing AI hype with an understanding of how generative AI works using cognitive science. Ben's understanding of human cognition has him disturbed to see how some in education are running into the arms of big tech.
As always, I welcome comments and questions on Instagram @_dankearney_
