AI is less a tool and more a service, and I don't want my students to learn to outsource their thinking

The search for AI ROI continues. University admin gave a presentation to faculty senate on AI. They begged us to discover use cases for them. All they have is a bespoke Ai tutoring agent and hopes and dreams for improved internal operations All senate had to offer was complaints about cheating

We do not build the reservoirs needed to store the rain that falls here. We do not build strategic food reserves needed to maintain provision in hard times. We failed to build effective stores of PPE, to protect us in pandemics. This country has long been governed by people who do not prepare.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

The big reason Einstein would never have used AI The point of school is to grow your mind; the point of science is to discover truths about reality. We know that Einstein never would've used AI. Here are the dangers if you do. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #physics #einstein #ai

The big reason Einstein would never have used AI

Many think that intelligence can be outsourced to AI. Einstein wouldn't have used it. If he had, he never would have become Einstein.

If you didn't know, Betelgeuse is my nemesis star. It's been cool seeing it near Jupiter and Venus this spring, but with alter sunsets its harder to see and sets sooner. On Monday I invited friends to "send it off" with me until it returns in the winter! 🧪🔭

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
