Ben Kuchera I've been sent brass knuckles, meat, a replica of a human head I had to tear apart to get at the invitation in the brain (that was fun), a weird serial killer box that made it look like someone kidnapped my son. Microsoft once drove the press around in super cars driven by attractive ladies. @shonen-otaku.bsky.social What do those have to do with reporting on the game?

Too long for alt text: an OIA response from the MInistry of Education NZ showing AI being used in the curriculum creation process. The most relevvant part is: the Ministry is leveraging Al tools to enhance development processes across the curriculum as a whole, particularly by analysing and synthesising information from international curricula and related educational frameworks. It is important to note however, that Al is not used to directly author curriculum content. Instead, it supports Ministry writers by providing background research, comparative insights and thematic analysis. The ability to process and evaluate research from other jurisdictions efficiently is especially valuable as we work towards delivering a national curriculum that is internationally comparable.
