The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.
"We think people are fallible, which they are. But it doesn't mean you throw away the people and then you put all of your faith in the system or in the machine."

Learning with AI is like motorsports. You go so much faster, but the machine is what's making you go fast. Not you. NASCAR learning. What can you do when the machine isn't there?
Damn it I thought this was about co-teaching a course with Al Yankovic.

The AI bubble is bursting? An MIT study says 95% of generative AI implementations in enterprise provide no real value? You could have avoided this disaster if you had read my new book: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN6H5LDB

A middle school I interact with is in a state with a school cellphone ban and y’all everybody in there is relieved. EVERYBODY. The kids, the teachers, the janitors. They are so relieved. Nobody is really uptight about it…except some parents.
