This weekend I encountered the Boss Level of Technical Education: teaching my 94-year-old grandma how to watch Traitors on a streaming service by herself.

Hand-written tutorial for how to watch Traitors on Amazon prime, with 5 steps and diagrams of a TV remote with arrows pointing to key buttons

Very badly hand-drawn TV remote with arrows pointing to key areas with descriptions

JD Vance’s Communion is a bog standard Politician’s Book, what you write before a presidential run. But that it’s written for a reader that doesn’t exist, about a country that doesn’t exist, by a man that doesn’t exist, and thus is alternately baffling & offensive. My review for @newrepublic.com:

newrepublic.com

What’s the Matter With JD Vance?

His new book “Communion” sketches out a redemption narrative that is jarringly at odds with his actions.

A bit of lightness. The BannerDepot 2000 Poetry Maker is so fun. It's an archive of banner ads from the 1990s and early 2000s, and you can make poems from the ads. Amazing work by Richard Lewei Huang and Yufeng Zhao. BannerDepot 2000: banner-depot-2000.net

Screenshot of an intentionally minimalist 1990s style website called BannerDepot 2000 that shows a search and filter interface with banner ads on the left column that you can choose from, and then banner ads arranged as a poem in the center. The banner add poem in construction reads "Greetings Earthlings / are you lonely? / Do you love your Mother? // EARTH NOT ALL THAT YOU HOPED FOR? / Behold / VISIT A PLANET YOU'VE NEVER SEEN. / You see? It's simple..."

Much as I love my employer, a flagship state institution and one of the best universities in the world, they lack the lean nimbleness to implement programs like this.

What a beautiful way for a community to physically instantiate a story about itself that will long serve as an inspirational reminder to future generations of “who we are.”

This morning's reading, from the new PMLA in the post box. Useful for my next book chapter writing project...

"Let us not ask what AI can do for Oberlin students, but what Oberlin students can do ourselves, while we still have the brain capacity to think on our own." (Wondering if Luddite clubs might spring up at other schools where students are similarly frustrated with administrators' #AI obsession...)

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

photograph or a poster on cream colored paper. "Dear President Ambar,
we are writing to you on a typewriter that is over 70 years old. This is a
machine that we all know well. With it, we misspell words without the crutch of spell check or generative AI and we think intently about every phrase we pound out. As we force ourselves, for once, to slow down, we engage in a cognitive dialogue with ourselves. We do not seek perfection because we know that education is about the growing and challenging of our young minds' potential, not the chasing of institutional 'gold-star' approval. We do not believe that your so-called 'Year of AI Exploration; providing enterprise ChatGPT and Google Gemini subscriptions to every Oberlin student aligns with our college's founding principles. You claim that this year will be one of experimentation, not adoption. But even just one semester of accepted (encouraged even) chat bot use will jettison our student body down a lazy and irredeemable tunnel of intellectual destruction. We are a college grounded in learning and labor, which now risks straying from these rooted ideals. With ChatGPT at the helm, our emails, essays,and discussion posts will be generated for us, not by us. And let's not fool ourselves. This is precisely what these platforms will be used for by our busy, anxious student body. We see your vision for this year as.advancing the college's 'businessification'--an alarming trend also seen in the takeover of our beloved library cafe by a 'bookstore' with no books in stock and an app replacing customer service. In one instance, the college assumes we want efficiency at all costs through automated rather than hand pulled coffee. In the other lies the false belief that we simply desire to turn in an essay, regardless of how little we've written of it." there's more that doesn't fit in the 2000 character limit :(

Will leave the last word for @charleswlogan.bsky.social

But none of that is inevitable. A grassroots movement is growing among those determined to resist the proliferation of AI in schools. The Civics of Technology Project, founded in 2022 by educators and researchers, wants to instead have administrators, teachers, students and parents prioritize studying “the collateral, disproportionate, and unexpected effects of technology”—including AI. One option is to imagine, and work to bring about, an alternative future in which AI doesn’t dominate. “There are ways that teachers, caregivers and students, too, can say, ‘Well, what if I don’t want to have to use this technology?’” said Charles Logan, a research fellow at Northwestern University and a board member for the Civics of Technology Project.
