Karl "Born in 319 ppm" Fisch @karlfisch.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's back to the old question of "what should students know and be able to do", which is a good question, but people are focusing too much on *how* they do it. Perhaps we need to think more deeply about what it means to be "educated" and what a thoughtful, thinking human looks like with today's tech 100
Karl "Born in 319 ppm" Fisch @karlfisch.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If a technology (I don't think it's necessary to specify "AI" as it's just a technology) lets you consistently generate quality outcomes, why would you ban it? It seems like folks are starting from a base of "this is education, we need to protect it" instead of "what does education look like now"? 100

Karl "Born in 319 ppm" Fisch @karlfisch.bsky.social · 22/09/2026OK. You could definitely use an adapter with that. I imagine you could also replace it with an NACS level 2 cord, but probably not worth the cost . Depending on the length of your daily commute, you could also just use a regular 110 outlet. 100
