"All media are extensions of some human faculty—psychic or physical. (page 18)" McLuhan says this and then attaches a picture of a wheel. Is he referring to the wheel as the extension? How is that media? #TMITM

"A new form of "politics" is emerging, and in ways we haven't yet noticed. The living room has become a voting
booth. Participation via television ... is changing everything" (page 16). That's accurate. Everyone has a political opinion all the time. #TMITM

I feel like McLuhan wanted this to be a mic-drop moment but I don't think it is coming across clearly at least for me. That being said, I generally get his sentiment and agree. #TMITM

I am going to be so real, but I am having a tough time understanding what McLuhan is saying. I think his style is absurd and not very easy to follow. #TMITM

"When this circuit learns your job, what are you going to do?" (page 15). McLuhan was right on the money. AI and automation has phased out or is phasing out some jobs. #TMITM

When I saw this, my mind was screaming social media algorithms. Everything is changing because of them. They are like a more primitive version of GPT since they reflect what you want to see to make the platform as addictive as possible, like what we described GPT doing to our voice. #TMITM

I think GPT is not only reflecting us, but we are reflecting it too. I've noticed I have started using more GPT-like words and phrases in my day-to-day life almost unconsciously.

I have a slight gripe with the videos since I can't fast-forward. I accidentally reloaded and had to sit through 15 mins of video I already watched.

I don't think I am a very creative person, so would I be able to do all these experiments/projects in a reasonable amount of time?

I understand that Bluesky is used so we can communicate as a class and how to post. Overall, the workflow makes a lot of sense to me.

I'm feeling kinda intimidated by the projects/experiments. I don't know how I feel about doing something that has little to no rules or guidelines.

The third voice is what happens when two things that are not related to each other collide with each other. It creates something that is weird and different.

I am most excited to try SME 3 and explain something without any sound. I think it would be a cool challenge to take on.

This class isn't a traditional writing class since we won't just be writing. We will be working with posts, collaborating, and publishing incomplete, imperfect ideas while also not paying too much attention to grammar. In a traditional writing class, this would be a huge no-no.

"We confuse what seems like confident fluency with Truth with a capital T." (15:42).
If that isn't the current state of political "debates" in the US right now, I don't know what is.

This class happens on BlueSky and not Canvas, since this platform helps with community and it feels more interactive than speaking on a discussion post on Canvas.

#hwa1 #notthatclass This class isn't a writing course. I thought we would be doing quite a lot of essay writing, which I am not very good at, so I am glad that we are exploring other ways of expression.
