There is a lot of racism through silence and “not wanting to rock the boat” with white people. It will take a lot more than just Ossoff to make it safe for others to take the direct shots. 030

Billy Jarrett @billjarrett.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Outside of religious or medical accommodations how many generals have beards? Even with those accommodations it’s probably close to zero.

Billy Jarrett @billjarrett.bsky.social · 26/08/2026With students using AI and autotypers it will get much more difficult to win that fight. I understand the sentiment, but currently that is like bringing a pillow to a gunfight. It’s very easy to say ”don’t do X” when it’s not followed by “do Y instead”. What’s your plan to deal with it in schools? 000
Billy Jarrett @billjarrett.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Also - AI is very good at making multiple choice. Have it make questions with four right answers, but one being “more right”. Make questions where it’s hard to use deduction unless they really know the subject. Hand check them yourself first, AI isn’t always right. But it’s really good at this. 010
Billy Jarrett @billjarrett.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Use AI against them. Make your final exam, then have AI add about 25% more customized for each student based on the arguments they made in their submitted papers. Make sure it was topics not in the class notes.
