Below, a bald, bearded man wearing glasses and a dark blue jacket sits thoughtfully at a wooden desk, holding a pen near his chin, surrounded by books, plants, and warm sunlight in a study.

ALT A promotional graphic with a dark blue background features a large white quotation: “...giving everybody a seat at the table as we think about what AI should or shouldn't look like in education.” Beneath the quote are the website AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM and the title AI + Education = Simplified. The lower half contains two side-by-side portraits: a young man with short brown hair and a beard wearing a denim jacket over a green striped shirt, photographed outdoors, and a blonde woman wearing a black blazer over a white blouse, seated in front of bookshelves.

ALT A vertical promotional graphic uses a dark brown background with centered cream text reading, “It’s not a tool. It’s a technology.” Below, smaller text identifies it as part one of an interview with Daryl Privott and Joseph Casey Cosgriff and gives the website AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM. The lower half shows a smiling man wearing glasses, a patterned shirt, and a textured blazer in an indoor setting.

ALT A centered, watercolor-style portrait shows a smiling man with glasses, a gray beard, and long brown hair, wearing a blue shirt and dark blazer. Behind him are bookshelves, stacked books labeled “Science,” “Philosophy,” “Natural History,” and “Poetry,” a dark mug, leafy branches, a globe, and constellation-like marks. Above, the graphic reads: “I don’t think the possibilities of autonomous agentic coding have really sunk into the general public’s vision of what AI is”; below it reads “AI + Education = Simplified” and “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”
