In the @bostonglobe, @manujdhariwal and @dhariwalshruti call for a new way of talking about the work people do with AI tools + chatbots—a way that acknowledges their utility, while emphasizing that they can't replace human relationships and collaborations.

Little Language Models, developed by Media Lab PhD students Manuj and Shruti Dhariwal, helps kids learn how AI models work by giving them tools to build small-scale versions of their own. Little Language Models, which is being trialed in schools over the next month, runs inside

📢 Our #AIEducation work on #LittleLanguageModels in CoCo is featured on @techreview today! Learn more ⬇️ #PhD @medialab @MIT

Introducing Little Language Models, a new co-creative AI education tool within @cocobuild that's designed to help children explore the foundational ideas that underlie generative AI systems: probabilistic thinking, modeling, and learning. Learn more at https://t.co/LjlD0iGGpI

Created by Media Lab PhD students @dhariwalshruti and @manujdhariwal, @cocobuild eschews gamification to foster co-creation and collaboration—more like "a kindergarten-style digital crafts table" than a social media app or competitive game.

"To live without comparison is to remove a tremendous burden" - J. Krishnamurty Glad to see the ideas & work on @cocobuild get highlighted in @EdSurge. The decision to do away with all currencies of comparison and gamification in CoCo was a conscious one:

Created by Media Lab PhD students @dhariwalshruti + @manujdhariwal, @cocobuild is a co-creative learning platform that empowers educators to engage students in real-time, creative collaboration with peers—in the same classroom or thousands of miles apart.

Grateful for this lovely conversation with @mres talking about our ideas and motivations behind CoCo ( https://t.co/z4kvVkbTTG) and designing learning technologies that center co-creation, collaboration, connection, and context. #PhDLife @medialab with @manujdhariwal

Here’s the next #LearningCreativeLearning video, this one focusing on the theme of Peers, featuring @dhariwalshruti and @manujdhariwal talking about Being Creative Together with their new @cocobuild platform https://t.co/i1ZU7TkFkJ

Wow! I'm so intrigued by this! I read your blog and love the idea of a "self-less social platform" for kids. Such a good life skill for learning to work together as a team, focusing on the mission, and building and creating together to achieve goals you are passionate about.

A fantastic short essay by @manujdhariwal on exploring your sense of self. Well worth a read!

Building on an earlier write-up, @LLKgroup PhD student @manujdhariwal self-reflects in his latest essay, providing ideas, activities, and illustrations that can serve as supportive tools for anyone who wants to explore their own sense of self.

In a recent write-up, @manujdhariwal (@LLKgroup) describes a mini-project completed during MIT’s IAP, including reflective illustrations on the topics of self and identity that mean to serve as helpful prompts for anyone who wants to build models of self.

...desires never die, desires multiply... -manoya

desires never die, desires multiply, they take YOU outwards, and then one day you die, having moved backwards from the time of your 1st cry

a yogi vector is a vector orthonormal to R³! y·desire = 0 , desire ∈ R³

Is reading this right now the best thing to be doing, or a way to avoid what you should be doing? #GTD
