I read, think and talk a lot about AI here.
And talk about it a lot on the AI in Education podcast, which co-host @dan-bowen.bsky.social and I started in 2019. You can find it in Apple podcasts and Spotify, here on Bluesky at @aiineducation.bsky.social and on the web at aipodcast.education

Can somebody invent an AI that lets me put an image in a Word document, and then lets it just stay in the same place even if I type a single word 5 pages away #theAIweneed

Writing stories about innovation models that suddenly arrived, and changed the game completely. Reducing the time to paint a car from 37 days to 1 hour; switching driving side of the road; Netflix vs Blockbuster; Uber vs Taxis. But my favourite is Hot Dog Eating 1/6

I'm going to have a play with this, because I've been usingPhi-3, and running it locally on my own laptop. It's amazing to me that we can run something so powerful as a Large Language Model entirely on a tiny computer sitting on my desk!

A test of how seriously your firm is taking AI: when o-1 (& the new Gemini model) came out this week, were there assigned folks who immediately ran the model through your internal, validated, firm-specific benchmarks to see how useful it as? Did you update any plans or goals as a result?

Showing somebody how to create a custom GPT. Ended up with "Clive" - describe a scenario and he'll work out how to talk about in a typically British understated way. Have a go here and chatgpt.com/g/g-XMBYzRwm...

2025 Phrase of the year? "Jump the snark" - that feeling you get moving from X/Twitter to #bluesky. Really, really true for professional communities like #edusky, and controversial topics like #aiineducation, #climatechange

The Economist says AI productivity boost not visible in statistics/across the economy…yet. No surprise as most use is individual, making them more efficient. And then it will be businesses automating existing, not fixing things to be better/more productive

Is this the AI elephant in the education room?Students can use AI to improve their performance on the assessment measures the world education system uses, whilst actually making them worse learners. And employers will see it and start to wonder what value exists in a credential

Yet again Ethan leads AI astray, and all it takes is a few minutes for me to turn an evil output into a 2025 Office Wall Calendar for a leader near you. Will be adding to my Etsy story in time for office Secret Santa (even I'm now wondering if I'm joking!). But if you want the file, let me know

I realise that I use, and think about the output from, AI in quite different ways. If I’m doing a good online course, I never use the AI features. For example Coursera has a chatbot on every page, but I have never used it… 1/6

Love that I can pin the hashtag feed for an event to my BlueSky feed list. For a few days I’ll be able to keep up with #ascilite2024 with minimal effort

Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut.
Hi, I'm Yär, the metal component that disappears every time you take apart and move an IKEA furniture item. If you've moved home with your bed 3x you know that you only have one of these left holding the whole bed together.

It's only been two years since ChatGPT was released. AI has been developing since the 1950's, but somehow the last 24 months have moved faster in the minds of students and educators! #aieducation

I’m Gnimëlf, the chocolate tart in the cafe that looks delicious, but turns out to be made from some weird pastry and a yellow substance. You’re not sure if you picked up the actual tart or the cardboard demo one
I am DARNÖC. I am a really nice basic picture frame, but you can’t easily make the cm / in calculation in your head and didn’t take the time to do it on your phone and so once you get me home you realize no photos or prints produced in the US actually fit it.

I am RÖLLAV, an office chair with a lever that has no evident function. It’s not the height or lumbar or tilt adjustment, those are all other levers. It’s not on the assembly diagram. Keep pushing it. One day it will surprise you.

This will be coming into effect around the time of the election. Every voter who uses social media is going to have a problem that limits their access. Why would you a government try to lose an election?
(I agree something needs to change, but regulation is bette than de facto banning every adult)
On the VPN question, the department is suggesting that if someone uses a VPN to sign up, then the platforms would be expected to check their posts on social media to see if they're actually based where the VPN says they are.

I love it when I can fully engage in watching OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) at work. This week Finland's undersea internet cable was cut in two places. And now there's a standoff in international waters between Navies and a mysterious chinese ship. Been following via @auonsson.bsky.social

This week's podcast AI in Education just dropped. if you're new to the podcast, then there's a great back catalogue of case studies, interviews and discussions in there too. And heaps of discussion of the latest research on AI in Education #EduSky #AIeducation #AIinEducation
