While Alpha School promises parents that kids can complete their core education in just two hours a day, leaked internal documents reveal the very chaotic reality behind tech industry buzzwords.</p><p>Alpha School charges up to $65,000 a year while openly aiming for a &quot;no human in the loop&quot; model to entirely eliminate human teachers. We discuss how their generative AI systems constantly hallucinate, creating illogical lesson plans and tests that treat kids like tech guinea pigs.</p><p>Even more alarming is the massive data harvesting and surveillance. Alpha School utilizes software that monitors students&#39; screens, web cameras, microphones, and mouse movements, acting essentially as boss-ware for children. </p><p>We also expose how video recordings of students have been left unsecured in open Google Drive links and how the school&#39;s AI scrapes educational material from platforms like IXL and Albert.io, leading to disabled accounts and terms of service violations. </p><p>Read the 404 Media article: <a href="https://www.404media.co/students-are-being-treated-like-guinea-pigs-inside-an-ai-powered-private-school/"><u>https://www.404media.co/students-are-being-treated-like-guinea-pigs-inside-an-ai-powered-private-school/</u></a> </p><p>Follow me:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz"><u>https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz</u></a>      </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz3.0"><u>https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz3.0</u></a>     </p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorlorenz"><u>https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorlorenz</u></a> </p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/taylorlorenz.bsky.social"><u>https://bsky.app/profile/taylorlorenz.bsky.social</u></a>  </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/taylorlorenz"><u>https://twitter.com/taylorlorenz</u></a> </p><p><br></p>
