You do not have to turn your disability into something profound and meaningful in order to earn the compassion and understanding of others.

Time to renew energy for the year with some of my favorite people at #Monktoberfest!
On my way to Portland today, and will hopefully feel up for the boat cruise on Wednesday.

Can your stylohyoid ligaments grow back once removed?
Intuition says no, but that same intuition says they shouldn't have turned into bone in the first place.
I swear that logic is on a smoke break every time questions about my body come up.

So my legs have decided that they are on strike today.
It's very effective. I will cave to their demands of...no pants.

CW: Death, Loss, Grief
This Friday marks our beloved @tinu.bsky.social 's first yahrzeit.
It's a very hard time for everyone who loved her, especially since so many of us have been dealing with the loss of loved ones this year.
Do what you need to take care of yourself right now.

That's how I feel about defenders of "AI literacy" in the classroom; you've added additional tasks for your students to perform critical evaluation of tools that nobody asked for (except administrators and LLM salesmen).

Shoehorning "AI literacy" into every single class strikes me as the same way "AI" and "productivity" is justified in the workforce. "AI" may save time (which it doesn't by many empirical studies), but the time taken on new tasks (e.g., checking outputs) has added much more time to the task.

But I've taught data analysis for social scientists. I don't make students then critique the system design of Jupyter notebooks or Python as a programming language.
I've taught on data and classification. I don't ask students "wow, isn't it wild what it makes up about Bowker and Star?"

I want to teach X in the classroom. I have a set of learning objectives which are independent of the use of a particular technology. If I was teaching a class on LLMs, sure, then evaluating of LLM might be a part of the pedagogy.

Something I see often in defenders of "AI" in the classroom (especially those who discuss "responsible" uses) is that, in using LLMs and then "critiquing" its output, we can then teach students to become more AI literate.
This irks me to no end.
