iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Once in a while I do stuff that doesn’t involve AI. I’m super excited about my independent study project for ISU this term: Hwaet! Open Old English (I prefer to translate Hwaet as “yo” 😂). Okay, though I made this myself in PowerPoint, I did ask Claude’s opinion.

A book cover with old English words and the title HWAET! Open old English

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

The battle over the 10-year moratorium on state AI laws is at fever pitch ahead of a crucial Senate vote that could hinge on just a handful of Republican swing votes. My piece today on one of the most consequential & convoluted tech policy fights in years: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | Republicans’ bid to stop state AI laws heads for a crucial vote

A 10-year moratorium on state AI regulations cleared a huge hurdle after Cruz narrowed its language. Its fate may now hinge on a handful of GOP skeptics.

So far the most effective way I've found to get students to not use ChatGPT is to say, "you can use it if you want to; if you do, here is the list of things you should do to make sure that it doesn't embarrass you" & then have them write a reflection about their choice

A selection from my student's reflection paragraph where they say they didn't use AI at all because they were too afraid of accidentally plagiarizing even though there was plenty of guidance provided on how not to plagiarize

The big winner in the dismantling of American scientific research is of course going to be China. They were already filing more patents than the U.S. and this trend will now only accelerate. These patents have a direct correlation to a nation’s future prosperity. @carlquintanilla.bsky.social
