So fun to talk about BASIC and the Dartmouth Time Sharing System! Visionary computing systems from the 1960s in which ambitious undergrads worked alongside their genius profs.

On Substack, I wrote about academic integrity and writing collaboratively with AI. But, more importantly, I featured another AI image designed by my kids. It kinda makes me think about collaborative writing in the landscape of AI. annettevee.substack.com/p/writing-co...

Writing collaboratively with AI

Our academic integrity approaches should acknowledge that possibility

In my most recent post for Norton’s Substack, I outline a few ways to approach a conversation with a student who may have overused AI in your class. Ideally, it’s a conversation about writing process. aiandhowweteach.substack.com/p/what-about...

Remember that splashy Nov 2024 AI paper that found that AI improved innovation in materials science? Turns out it was a fraud! I wrote about how we need to "expect AI research to be messy," with a hat tip to Ben Shindel's fascinating post breaking down the problems with the paper. Links in comments.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a week ago, the CSU closed 6 departments (among them, philosophy, women's and gender studies, and economics) and fired 46 tenure-line faculty at Sonoma State. One of those faculty studies AI ethics. They fired the AI ethics professor. Then, this.

When her marriage hits the rocks, an Ivy League professor, her playwright husband, and her Broadway legend mother-in-law/best friend set out to rescue their imploding family by trying to make a hit musical despite the spectacular failure of their latest collaboration. #YouDeservepIt #Q #S #WF #A

A postcard for Alexandra Hidalgo's novel "GRAND GESTURES" with red, green, and blue rectangles. The top left red rectangle has white text that reads "UPMARKET WOMEN'S FICTION" with a black silhouette of a stack of books. The top right green rectangle reads " Drama runs in the family, but can they stage their own happy ending?” The middle left blue rectangle has a black silhouette of comedy and tragedy masks. The middle right red rectangle reads "GRAND GESTURES." The bottom left green rectangle reads "COMPS" with photos of the covers for Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, the show Gilmore Girls, and Book Lovers by Emily Henry. The bottom right blue rectangle reads " Broadway Dynasties, Cozy Academia, Family Saga, Second Chances, Latina Protagonist, Multiple Love Stories, Empathic Friendships, Three POVs" with black silhouettes of man and a woman dancing and of a woman singing on stage.
