Acompáñenme a ver esta triste historia:

1. La Secretaría de Educación nacional registra de modo dudoso la estadística educativa.
2. Un profesional reconocido la difunde sesgando su interpretación.
3. La Secretaría de Educación lo cita y potencia el equívoco en lugar de corregirlo.
4. Nadie dice nada, pero el daño ya está hecho.

En el siguiente tuit la explicación y la fuente del error.

Democrats, I'm looking at you. AI regulation can't keep waiting. And that regulation should be based on protecting humanity, not the profit interests of tech bros building bunkers for the post-apocalypse while accumulating obscene fortunes for as long as they can.

I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.
 
But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.
 
I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.
 
I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.

But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.

I hope other journals follow this policy. It would create much-needed incentives for all of us to study things that actually matter and to focus more on producing high-quality publications than churning a lot of publications we can live without.

AJPS has introduced a new submission cap policy, effective today. Under the new policy, individuals may submit up to three manuscripts as an author or co-author in a 12-month period, with an option to request a waiver for a fourth submission. Read more: ajps.org/2026/11/04/new…

Maybe we shouldn't be taking advice on critical thinking from an essay whose arguments are imprecise and bordering contradictory

Critical thinking:
1. Is difficult to teach (but have you tried teaching someone how to read?)
2. Can't be applied in a vaccuum
3. Can be taught
