Personally I prefer a society whose members feel some pressure to signal virtue over one where vice is continually rewarded

I don’t need therapy, I just need everyone to stop being wrong.

I think there's a lot of truth in this. But I think there's a parallel (good) conservatism in uni press monographs and, especially, peer-reviewed journals, where work must be embedded among interlocutors and building incrementally. That work's still being done every day, despite it all

Feels like in the 2000-2010s there was this sea change in academia where young scholars were supposed to brand themselves in this or that way to be competitive on the market, but 3 market collapses later it feels like the pivot simply led to atomized individualistic approaches to illegible fields

I also believe that most anything you use AI to do at your job is something you won’t be paid for in 3-5 years

"AI as an assessment tool represents an existential threat to education because no matter how you try and establish guardrails or best practices around how it is employed, using the technology in place of an educator ultimately cedes human judgment to a machine-based process."

Diane Keaton was so good that every time I watch the Godfather Part 2 I think DON’T TELL HIM KAY and I think this time she’ll listen

AI in education amplifies student surveillance

AI in education makes surveillance companies into trusted educational providers

AI in education surveillance techniques always threaten to creep beyond their original scope of operations

AI in education centres entrepreneurs as experts in teaching and learning

AI in education is based mostly on technical potential not educational needs

AI in education locks learning into models that afford summarization instead of archives of knowledge

Just watched No Country for Old Men while thinking it was There Will Be Blood and spent much of the movie very confused about when we would get to Daniel Day Lewis and the oil.

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

"just like those who govern secondary schools, university educators have ceded education’s purpose and meaning to others"

the heart of the issue is that teachers and professors have too little say in how, what, and why students read, and if we can't sort it out, for some, that justifies outsourcing
