Honestly I think the solution for combatting AI is just finally removing the reasons for cheating: the extrinsic motivation. Grades based education, tests that determine your entire life trajectory, etc. all put the emphasis on getting good grades rather than learning itself. Kids are going to optimize for the metric being measured, which means cheating.

If instead, education was more student led, and mastery based rather than grades based (like what Khan academy does for its math section), I think kids would be far less inventivized to cheat.

Actually implementing that is tricky, especially if we still want some form of standardized education, and it’s hard to imagine the kinds of changes required happening via a single school acting independently (perhaps a private school like the Montessori system does, but not a public school that has to follow state/federal guidelines).

Plus, because of those extrinsic motivation, any students who have been fully prevented from cheating are technically at a disadvantage to those who aren’t.

So tbh I don’t really think there’s necessarily anything we can do “on the ground” on this issue - it needs to come top down, unfortunately. I think your influence within the school system might be better spent trying to get stuff like materialism added to the curriculum somewhere or something.

I switched from obsidian to logseq and prefer logseq a lot. The whole atomic notes thing never really worked for me, but using an outliner does (and tbh on some pages I just write in prose anyways).

Honestly I would love this. Replace comms with tags (which side note: should work with mastodon tags), posts can be in as many tags as possible, and those tags should be editable after posting, including my moderators.

I think the main issue would be that currently moderators are per-comnunity, and having moderators per-tag just feels weird.

Additionally, the blurring of content could be done like bluesky labelers, where you can specify that certain tags should make content fully hidden, blurred, or fully visible.
