Okay, well, Phillies need to bring the exact same energy into tomorrow, and the Diamondbacks need to bring entirely different energy. We'll try this again then.

It's very rude to me, a delusional Diamondbacks fan, that the Phillies game is delayed.

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Obviously, I was influenced by reading the NY Times list first, which criminally underrated both Hacks & Station 11, but when I tried to think about shows that were left off, Broadchurch is what immediately came to mind.
My list of top shows: 30 Rock, The Americans, Hacks, The Pitt, The Leftovers, Broadchurch, Station Eleven, The Great British Bake Off, Fleabag, Mare of Easttown.

We're bringing some whimsy to the course AI statement this year.
A list in the style of the 10 things I hate about you movie poster (lime green and hot pink with doodles in the margins) reads, "10 things I hate about AI: I hate the way it harms our brains and the way it dehumanizes. I hate the way it hallucinates. I hate it when it homogenizes. I hate its water usage and the constant boosterism. I hate the way it shortcuts learning and when it's used for plagiarism. I hate the way it has normalized imprudence. But mostly I hate the way it sows distrust between teachers and their students." A reading list featuring "Your Brain on ChatGPT," "Why Using AI to Write to Friends and Family is Dehumanizing," "AI Slop is Destroying the Internet," "AI is Homogenizing our Thoughts," "Data Centers Consume Massive Amounts of Water-Companies Rarely Tell the Public Exactly How Much," "The Tech Fantasy that Powers AI is Running on Fumes," "Why Even Basic AI Use is So Bad for Students," "I set a trap to Catch my Students Cheating with AI," "'Cognitive Surrender' Leads AI Users to Abandon Logical Thinking, Research Shows," and "Another AI Side Effect: Erosion of Student-Teacher Trust." At the bottom is a picture of Kat and Patrick paddle boating in the film 10 Things I Hate About You with the caption "Our class getting left behind by AI this semester."

Yeah, the writing style of that book was not my jam. I like the character so much better when he's played by Ryan Gosling and I don't have to hear his mental narration in the book.

I'm fuming. Online education is so fucked. If students wanted to get AI feedback on their writing, they can do that for free! They are paying to receive an education from people with expertise in the field and instead receiving generic slop feedback. My God.

My students had no heads up, no way to opt out of having their personal reflections fed into this AI feedback generator, AND the LMS does not denote anywhere that the feedback is not my own. Also, it gave everyone the same letter grade 🤔. I deleted the feedback, but I clearly need to quit.

I log on to grade last week's assignments, and see that they're already scored, and it says they were scored by me. I open up the rubrics, and every feedback area, including the final "instructor's overall feedback" area is filled with AI slop. I received no communication this was being implemented.

I online adjunct for a certain for-profit university. I hate everything they stand for, but the academic job market is so precarious, I've always kept it in case my lectureship is non-renewed. Well, I'll have to get over that anxiety, because they just implemented automated AI grading w/ no opt-out.

Okay writing faculty, what are we doing to go more analog and human in the classroom while also keeping our classes accessible? After two years of teaching online sections during this AI hellscape, I'm back in the classroom this year and looking to try some new (& old) things #academicsky #edusky

It’s such a bummer. Online/asynchronous/virtual teaching can be incredibly valuable and with a little extra structure can be an amazing and scalable resource but now AI has rendered the whole enterprise impossible.

I actually won two Goodreads giveaways recently! I just got this one, thought, huh, ok, I forgot I entered this one. Then I read the back cover and got the ick 😬.
Book cover for Human Raised by Dana Suskind. The title is illustrated as an embroidered patch with AI in "raised" in silver while the rest of the stitching is green. The back cover includes praise by Adam Grant, Eve Rodsky, Jonathan Haidt, Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO), and Angela Duckworth.

Yesss. Three sisters. Two sons. I was so gender neutral in my approach to pregnancy and infancy. My boys wear pink and purple and paint their nails and also ... are just absolutely feral in a way I was unprepared for. We quote the Arrested Development "NO TOUCHING" multiple times a day.

Those who dug into it decided AI literacy meant learning *how* AI and machine learning works, which would then lead students to more ethical and informed decisions around AI use, but a lot were just echoing it as a buzz word, a way of saying we *can't* just *ban* it because it's bad for learning.
