I used to make choices based on what helps students learn. Now I make choices like I'm trying to identify replicants with the Voight-Kampff test

I'm going back to in-class exams this semester, which are harder to schedule, less intellectually rigorous, slower to grade, harder to secure, more prone to error, harder to provide disability acommodations for, and use up a lot more paper than online exams. AI makes everything worse.

Suresh reports on his experience talking with hundreds of executives (and, more importantly, their subordinates) about what (if anything) AI is doing for business in an essay entitled "AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decisionmaking": hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mani... 11/

A friend reached out this evening to request clarification on an AI apologist’s talking point, and it’s worth reiterating: Digitizing is a process librarians, archivists, and curators understand to preserve the information inside a book as a unique entity. What these bros are doing is destroying.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

First, this is fantastic. Second, it gives the lie to the idea that people need to “learn” how to use AI given that it’s become compulsory. What lurks behind the notion that people need tutorials in it is that AI “education” is just a how-to in avoiding its hazards. The real education is this ⬇️

Oh hey, I think this is the first official word about my 2027 novel, THE REALM INVISIBLE. I took John Crowley and John le Carré as my guiding stars for this one. Elizabethan spies in the cold war between England and Spain, with, naturally, weird stuff happening. Edited by Jane Johnson.

I went from “Wow Elizabeth Bennet kinda feels like a manic pick-me dream girl” to “I will take a blunt object to anybody’s car lights if they say a bad word about Liz.” Jane Austen. Is so good.

I'm starting a new novel project and gosh I'd forgotten just how intimidating it can be. I know I need to just get a shitty zero draft out first, but it's hard when it's been so long since drafting a novel in English!
