We (Learn Leap Fly) were a semi-finalist in that competition. We bet heavily on AI, but again, were a few years early (Note the constraints of the problem said that the devices were NOT connected to the internet, which makes things still challenging today)
We were also a semi finalist (round 3) in the AI XPRIZE (with the same tech).
We’ve thought about whether to resurrect the core ideas and give it another go. For that we need partners. Education isn’t the most lucrative of fields, it turns out.
That said, anyone who wants to go down this path, send me a note. I’m happy to talk nerdity on this topic all day, be it AI, literacy education, pedagogy or grand challenges!
We can use Stable Diffusion. Huggingface's Diffusers library do a good job in running some versions locally really well.
Just like "alignment" of LLMs, the ideology this hypothetical book teaches will have huge controversy.
