I got oral feedback from the students on perceived efficacy and feedback compared to my usual slide decks. The universal comment was that the AI was too broad and generalized.

I went in and then edited the slides to reflect my usual level of depth. It would have been faster to build from scratch.

I did a little impromptu test by letting the AI generate the slide deck for my AI lecture. I gave it a prompt telling it what chapter to summarize, what content to focus on, and what conclusion to reach. I presented the AI slides in lecture (using it as an example).

I've written this post, and then I've deleted it. As a public scholar, I walk the line of commentary and inviting trouble. I don't believe I've done it, but in these times, I don't know.

This is my diagnostic of internet culture, algorithms, & violence.

I could get behind this more if this free benefit for Online+Expansion Pak subscribers did not -require- this $100 headset (or even the $30 cardboard cutout) to even utilize this “perk.”

Quick, what are the tired old lines the far right like to trot out whenever firearms bans come up after school shootings? I just wanna see what they say when they have those arguments turned back in their faces. www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

Everyone in the Bluniverse is trashing on Cracker Barrel and I’m just sitting here thinking “but I like their pancakes and bacon.” Y’all, it’s just a logo. It doesn’t need to be a whole thing.

Pardon? As far as I can tell, Kevin Sorbo and Scott Bain haven’t been taking acting jobs in California for well over a decade now.
