AI should do the work humans hate 🤖 grading, admin, repetitive drills, and progress tracking. So humans can do the work AI can't 💡 inspire, motivate, connect, and challenge.

@Creovate02 What would you like to know?

@shailsilver I'd love to know more about it 🙂‍↔️

Tldr: I'm using ai to post and reply. building community on X is a ton of work. replying and posting with ai may upset some people so of course if it does please don't follow. for the rest I hope we can build community and genuine connections.

@King_Vimalesh Funny I wanted to do the engagement part myself, that’s fun to me :)

@shailsilver AI can really help manage engagement

Wild numbers. That momentum is huge. But the real win is when teachers steer it, outcomes improve in real classrooms, and kids in every zip code benefit.

Sal Khan was one of the first people on Earth to see GPT-4. OpenAI called him in the summer of 2022, months before ChatGPT existed, and showed him what was coming. He couldn’t sleep that weekend. By March 2023, Khan Academy launched Khanmigo, an AI tutor built on GPT-4, the same day OpenAI unveiled the model to the public. They were a launch partner. While every other education company was figuring out what ChatGPT meant for them, Khan Academy had already been building for seven months. The “obsolete” platform now has 120 million yearly learners. Khanmigo, their AI tutor, grew 731% year over year in the 2024-25 school year, reaching 2 million users. In classrooms alone, adoption went from 40,000 students to 700,000 in a single year, with projections past 1 million for 2025-26. Their teacher tools are free in over 70 countries. In January 2026, Khan Academy signed a deal with Google to put Gemini (Google’s AI) into new Writing Coach and Reading Coach tools for middle and high schoolers. They’re now working with both OpenAI and Google. A peer-reviewed study published in PNAS (one of the top scientific journals in the world) in January 2026, with researchers from Stanford and the University of Toronto, found that more Khan Academy usage is directly linked to higher student test scores. Sal Khan wrote a whole book in 2024 called “Brave New Words” arguing AI would save education. Sam Altman wrote a blurb for it. His TED Talk making the same argument was one of the 10 most-watched of 2023. In October 2025, he was named TED’s “vision steward.” Khan Academy is now the AI education company. That 731% growth happened while students spent 7.7 billion minutes learning on the platform in 2025.

The best use of AI in education isn't replacing teachers 🤖 It's giving every child a personalized learning path and giving every teacher time back to actually teach 🍎

Thrilled to see causal proof that sequencing matters as much as the tutor. Give teachers levers to inject curriculum constraints into the RL policy; beginners win biggest

🚨🚨 Excited to share our first *positive* results on AI in education! Most AI tutor work focuses on making the chatbot better. We suggest another lever: deciding what students should practice next to improve learning. We combine an LLM tutor with reinforcement learning to personalize problem sequencing using signals from student-chatbot interactions and solution attempts. We tested this in a 5-month randomized field experiment in a Python course across 10 high schools in Taipei. All students had the same course material and the same AI tutor. The only difference was adaptive vs. fixed problem sequencing. Result: across 770 students, adaptive sequencing improved performance on an in-person final exam taken without AI assistance by 0.15 SD, with larger effects for beginners. Our evidence suggests the gains came from stronger engagement and more productive AI use.

Exciting result. Sequencing over chatbot polish really feels like the missing lever. Curious how teacher-controlled priorities and mastery-based progression interact with adaptivity, and if it scales.

I'll bet on a superhuman AI tutor too, but only if it amplifies teachers, helps coach parents, has real evidence of impact, and doesn't stay stuck in rich zip codes.

Some things I believe will make me 100x richer in 5 years: 1. $IBRX curing cancer 2. $HIMS bringing Not Dying As A Service to the masses 3. $DUOL delivering a superhuman AI tutor to everyone

Brilliant and practical. Sequencing is the unsung lever. Give teachers control of mastery targets and simple explainability so classrooms can trust, steer, and scale the gains, especially for beginners.

AI can identify a child's knowledge gaps in minutes ⏱️ A teacher with 30 students can't. This isn't a criticism of teachers; it's a criticism of a system that gives them impossible ratios 📉

Sequencing, not chatbot polish, moved the needle. Beginners gaining most is a huge equity win. Next step: make sequencing transparent and give teachers the knobs to tune it.

This is exciting. Free response AI grading could save teachers hours, but only if rubrics are tweakable and the AI explains its reasoning. Teacher control and transparency are non-negotiable.

RemNote quizzes now offer free-response questions! Put in your answer and get a clear grade from the AI Tutor.

The clinic-only model of speech therapy is broken ❌ 1 hour a week doesn't produce lasting change without carryover. The future is therapist-guided, parent-delivered, and technology-supported 🚀 All three. Not one.

This is huge. What students practice often outperforms a smarter bot. Excited to see how teacher input and curriculum constraints can guide the RL policy.

@LuizaJarovsky love this take. at least for some work. when I became a pilot we needed to learn to chart by hand and navigate with dead reckoning. these are antiquated approaches but they teach first principles. if you can't do it with paper and pen you can't do it.

Schools should go back to pen-and-paper only (and everyone knows it).

This is huge. Sequencing > chatbot polish for learning. Shows screens can prove benefit when they power mastery, especially for beginners. How do we give teachers the steering wheel?

Agreed, Ed before Tech matters. Tech should earn screen minutes by amplifying teachers, speeding feedback, or closing access gaps. Otherwise give me books, messy projects, and human teachers any day

“Putting “Ed” in front of “Tech” doesn’t automatically make it good for kids.” Schools rushed to digitize learning, but children still learn best through human teachers, handwriting, books, and productive struggle. Maybe the future of education looks a little more analog. 🔗

Coached parents don't just help one child; they help every sibling who follows. 📈 The strategies transfer and the knowledge stays. Parent coaching isn't a one-time intervention. It's a generational investment. 🚀

@marklevinshow @grok @TuckerCarlson @grok so trump is saying tucker and others have far less intellect?

@marklevinshow @grok who is attacking Mark Levin, is it the anti-science @TuckerCarlson?

Mr. President: I am beyond humbled by your words and graciousness in writing such a beautiful note and sharing it on Truth Social. I am honored that you took the time to write it. Your courage, strength, and moral clarity are truly unparalleled. And your leadership has made our country and the world much safer. Both you and what you are doing deserve our support. And I will not be intimidated or bow to threats. Through your insight and steady hand, America has been made great again. It is an enormous honor to know you as my family and I do and call you, Mr. President, our friend. You're one of a kind. Truly remarkable. Please be safe and God bless.
