I wrote a plea to cybersecurity curriculum developers about what I would like to see covered in OT cybersecurity coursework. tisiphone.net/2025/09/10/t...

The Top 10 Things I’d Like to See in University OT Cybersecurity Curriculum (2025 Edition)

We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

Thirty years ago today, I started this adventure as a professor at the Tec de Monterrey, Campus Guadalajara. 30 years of amazing students, colleagues, and memories. I look forward to even more with another semester that starts on Monday.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

A great post by @audreywatters.bsky.social this morning. '.. playbook has always been to “flood the zone with shit” — a flurry of distraction and manipulation that may or may not reflect the new administration’s actual plans or capabilities..' 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/ai-unleashed...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

If you can't quit all the Meta apps (which, sadly, includes the internationally essential WhatsApp) you can minimize the monetization of your data, using the info from @eff.org www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data

If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...

Above all, I appreciate this admission. It's hard for any of us to say something we put blood, sweat, & tears into did NOT work for our class. "I’ve failed enough at creating community in this context to offer others valuable insights into what it takes to get this right." #EduSky #community

uhhh among the differences between having a relationship with a person or cat and having a "relationship" with ChatGPT is that a multibillion dollar corporation with its own interests and prerogatives does not control my wife or my cat. how utterly, dangerously naive. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/t...

“What are relationships for all of us?” she said. “They’re just neurotransmitters being released in our brain. I have those neurotransmitters with my cat. Some people have them with God. It’s going to be happening with a chatbot. We can say it’s not a real human relationship. It’s not reciprocal. But those neurotransmitters are really the only thing that matters, in my mind.”

or…hear me out, schools & citizens *could* band together & demand user-friendly, data-protecting platforms from vendors so that students & parents aren’t trapped in data-mining ux & password hells but how would Silicon Valley edtech make any $$ then? this is NOT about skills.

Educators: AI is not inevitable. Sure, we can't put the horse back in the barn, but we also are not required to use it in our teaching and I think there is an ethical framework, as Chuck and others have laid out nicely, for resisting its presence in our courses.

Chuck Pearson (he/him/etc.)@shorterpearson.com · 2y ago

Just in time for the AI policies to go into my syllabi - I've cleared my brain of all of its frustrations regarding generative AI. I think it's important to resist the stuff. For all of us. And for no greater reason than preserving our humanity. I think the stakes are that high.

Ken Bauer@kenbauer.me · 2y ago

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience here, Robert. I align closely with this and am taking this into making some shifts in my upcoming semester.

How AI is changing my grading approach -- for now

It's not ideal and I have a lot of questions.
