Well Bill, I’ll gladly take you up on this proposal Let’s take a cohort of kids that I educate, at a publicly funded university, & you take the best crop from “Alpha School” I guarantee you my kids will know more about critical thinking & other life skills than any kid in this con

I guess after you admit AGI isnt coming, bitching about DEI is all that's left.

They already tried this. I was shut up in church basement for 2, 3, 4 grade reading and filling in pamphlets in a cubicle, with church ladies as “guides”. It was called ACE and it swept the far right in the late 70s. It was horrible - I don’t know my x tables but can quote scripture. Beatings, etc.

It sounds like an awful “educational” experience! I hope you told your parents.

I was beaten with a belt by pastor for being rowdy at 7 yrs old, with my parents approval - the Christian cult is sick. My mother was a crazy cult member and I left in my 20s, never looked back, saved my kids. The Christi fascist takeover of my country is pretty triggering tho

I'm now hearing ads for the Abeka homeschool program on podcasts, with no mention at all that it's affiliated with Christian Nationalism. It's like the Nazis running ads for that heartwarming memoir, "Mein Kampf."

Yes

White kids gonna be so stupid.

Why is this man EVER newsworthy. He’s just an arrogant asshole.

Sounds like the chatbot version of Lord of the Flies

None of these clowns have an actual job

A school for stupid white boys. What's it called? Yale?

That's not a school. It's an indoctrination camp.

Perfect critique. I love it.

Are all our oligarchs absolute boneheads? How embarrassing for us that they succeeded at becoming billionaires.

Your regular reminder that Bill Ackman’s wife is an admitted plagiarist.

I work right across from one of the high schools and it absolutely is ass

alpha school!

None of these dipshits get that alpha means ‘first generation’ and not ‘the best’.

“We’re done discovering the bus and have now discovered the Montessori Method and you’ve never said ‘thank you’ once.”

Boomers destroyed the planet and set the economy up for their benefit and now want to make sure the middle gens have no one smart enough to take care of us. Super cool.

This guy just loves losing his money.

The only thing we need to know about Bill Ackman is that Donald Trump is all over the Epstein Files.

As someone whose job often intersects with DEI issues I can’t imagine any employer wanting the chuds pumped out of this shit show; absolute walking lawsuits. Probably the only pipeline is to think tanks and institutes also propped up by these billionaires

I can already get ChatGPT to teach me wrong information for free, and Grok would do it and be my racist anime waifu. Why would I pay Bill Ackman for this?

It’s so funny how straight up dumb this guy is

Why have black/trans teacher when you could have ROBOTEACHER?! Literally nothing could go wrong. Empathy module: permanently disengaged Critical thinking module: irreparably shattered

“Speed teach” children in 2 hours. I don’t know any parent who wants anything like this.

So fitting for Ackman. This system will generate an endless array of bullshit, but it will do so very confidently. Much like Ackman is still considered some kind of an "eminence grise" despite being consistently the most moronic hedge fund manager around.

I’m about filled up with the use of Alpha in contemporary English.

"mechahitler teaches you how to code in python"

"poorly"

So, the billionaire’s new pet project rejects diversity, equity and inclusion which means they are racist institutions? The “curriculum” doesn’t sound like education’s a core value… and sounds instead like “AI software” brainwashing of students. 😡 What parent would want this for their children? 😬

That’s like the opposite of what I want in a school.

“Ah Mark is it, Mr E Mark - welcome, sit down, I’ll pull up your academic year review from our college AI. Mmm, you’ve completed your first year and have minus thirteen years of four left, excellent. I note in the exams you scored above 90 across the board - giving you an average of 23. Well done!”

"Alpha School" really?! Do they *want* only idiots to apply?

Yes! Classic scam tactic.

You’re implying they realize they’re the idiots :(

Fair point ...

what’s he going to do when the AI inevitably starts saying trans women are women

Bill Ackman is opening a stupid asshole factory

"alpha school" holy fucking shit

Ligma School

What's a school?

Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such films as "Mecha Hitler Goes to Summer Camp."

I saw a TikTok promoting the school a while ago. The core subject education is 2 hours (minus breaks) of playing with AI. It costs $30k/year and it's blatantly just indoctrinating kids into tech startup work culture.

I envision a lot of Grok-like issues where their in-house AI is so heavily biased towards rejecting DEI that it ends up being deranged and they spend half the time trying to update it to reflect Bill Ackman's exact political views.

"Nice" and "polite" Republicans aren't (yet) willing to accept that MechaHitler is the only logical result of the values they claim to hold (let alone the ones they wink and nudge about).

Which is a fool’s errand, because Ackman‘s views basically evolve to suit whomever he’s trying to curry favor.

Anyone who signs their kids up for that should be punched in the genitals

Alpha school lmao

Sounds like Newt Gingrich's tribe misunderstanding "Chimpanzee Politics" all over again. https://youtu.be/inx2dMobzYs?si=nMvZDOjWNAzruc4f

students will be known as ackman’s assholes similar to mcnamara's morons

Hey kids in lieu of an education we taught this statistical model to say Palestine doesn’t exist

Genuinely must have pitched this as “what if we made a place where humans and humanity don’t matter or get credit or respect at all”

So is this one of those schools that courts send troubled youth to as an alternative to jail that we then later find out was involved in a kickback scheme?

I bet “our schools need less DEI and more AI!” hit so hard for the dumb idiots Bill Ackman talks to at cocktail parties

Yes, exactly what we need: more dimwits that can’t think without asking an AI model for its opinion.

finally, a school that makes you a dumb asshole

probably because they can totally control what the AI is programmed to teach. it's not just keeping kids dumb, it's brainwashing them.
