I just had an article accepted that I co-wrote with Roger. This isn't it, but it's good! I suspect it has been a busy publishing year for him, and that this is one of what will prove to be a string of articles by him on Carey! doi.org/10.1007/s121...

@sama
cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:

connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

For a concise analysis of the cultural significance of Universities in the Pacific, it's worth consulting @nonwayne.bsky.social 's recent book review: dx.doi.org/10.31646/am.... He might be dealing with literary matters, but the role of regional universities shines through.

You might be interested in the work that @tenille.bsky.social is doing. She has built a bespoke language model trained on her writing to trouble a novel she's working on. Adding the digital uncanny to it. I think there are great possibilities from feeding historical documents into bespoke models

NonWayne @nonwayne.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

I think we're in total agreement there. With good regulation around intellectual property rights, resource usage, and legal restrictions on how these models are constructed, they could be useful in certain applications

NonWayne @nonwayne.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

I hate this tech, to be perfectly honest, but there are standards that need to apply to assessments that really defy any attempt to prohibit the use of genAI in take-home writing. The battle on that front is already lost

If ever there was an example of writing by dissensus it's this article. I think it benefited from the process though. I wish the conversations involved in its composition was a podcast! It's true though, if a student uses Grammarly, is it theirs? Spell check? A critical friend?

"Unlike plagiarism detection, AI detection relies on unverifiable probabilistic estimates. In this paper, we argue that generative AI detection should not be used in education due to its methodological imperfections, violation of procedural fairness, and unverifiable outputs."
