Today I was told that I needed to partner with an engineer who really knew the software supply chain space. I...I am that engineer?

Things I would die on a hill for, but probably shouldn't: - Beaker is the best Muppet (besides my dog) - You should listen to a new album start-to-finish, in one go, no shuffling - There's no one right way to do something - There's only one right way to assemble LEGO - Paradoxes are underrated

Things I miss doing that make my heart actually ache from their absence: - connecting with friends - seeing live music - traveling I've grown used to the first, oddly. But the latter two still make me break down sobbing.

I'm never going to be on the "AI is 100% bad" bandwagon. Unpopular, I know. I am going to be on the "the positioning and usage of AI as we know it today is harmful, wasteful, misleading, unethical, and flat out misapplied" bandwagon. Signed, Someone who has seen AI done well

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

I really want to get into stained glass but the place in Seattle that runs workshops has had a closed waitlist since before COVID. I know how to solder, but I'd love to learn glass cutting technique as I'm so good at injuring myself.

Can your stylohyoid ligaments grow back once removed? Intuition says no, but that same intuition says they shouldn't have turned into bone in the first place. I swear that logic is on a smoke break every time questions about my body come up.

That's how I feel about defenders of "AI literacy" in the classroom; you've added additional tasks for your students to perform critical evaluation of tools that nobody asked for (except administrators and LLM salesmen). 5/5

Shoehorning "AI literacy" into every single class strikes me as the same way "AI" and "productivity" is justified in the workforce. "AI" may save time (which it doesn't by many empirical studies), but the time taken on new tasks (e.g., checking outputs) has added much more time to the task. 4/

But I've taught data analysis for social scientists. I don't make students then critique the system design of Jupyter notebooks or Python as a programming language. I've taught on data and classification. I don't ask students "wow, isn't it wild what it makes up about Bowker and Star?" 3/

Something I see often in defenders of "AI" in the classroom (especially those who discuss "responsible" uses) is that, in using LLMs and then "critiquing" its output, we can then teach students to become more AI literate. This irks me to no end. 1/
