Just picked up a leftover handout from an AI workshop that's all about evaluating the consequences of information being wrong before decided how much time to spend on the prompt. What a wild way to live your life.

The simplest way to flip that dynamic would be to write institutional policies that largely define AI use as academic dishonesty BUT allow instructors freedom to carve out exceptions if they want or need—make it OPT IN, not opt out—put the enforcement onus on institutions, not individual teachers

Just saw an intriguing new article about digital enclosure, planned obsolescence, and extractive big tech… in a Springer journal. Please, academics, stop publishing in journals controlled by commercial publishers that embody the worst of Silicon Valley! Think abt the means of knowledge production!

Not me turning to chatty g to write a script because the documentation for the new version is so non-existent and all the function names have changed. So are we not writing documentation anymore because we don't need it? We're not even asking the machines to do it?

Trying to find the location of a former plantation in Mississippi and instead found this fallen over plaque indicating the presence of an Indian mound and an African-American burial site on top. Could be a good image for a 250th publication!
A screencap from Google Maps of the entry for the Johnson Cemetery Mound plaque in Mississippi. In the street view, the plaque has fallen on the ground. The plaque reads "The Johnson Cemetery site currently consists of a single mound and associated village, but may originally have had second mound. The existing mound is 12 feet in height and was most likely pyramidal in shape, though its dimensions have suffered from erosion. Archacologists have determined that the mound was built in stages by Native Americans during the Mississippi Period, ca. AD 1200-1600. Johnson Cemetery, a 20th-century African American cemetery, is located on the mound's summit."
