Especially for tools provided by a university, the focus should not be on saving time, but on learning.

What are we doing to ourselves, and what are we doing to our students?

[Andre Costopoulos @AndreCosto]

"Faculty are not employees in a corporate structure to be managed through top-down authority."

The core conflict, which we've already lost. Universities are no longer academic communities.

"...Faculty Senate is dissolved. It already held an advisory-only role, but its replacement—the Presidential Academic Advisory Council—“is a shift from faculty-led governance to administratively controlled consultation,”

An accelerating trend...

@MichaelESmith Absolute best wishes, and all the good vibes going your way.

@ChrisStringer65 Interesting mix of wild and thought-provoking.

Why do I not listen to Cold Wind To Valhalla more often? Or the rest of Minstrel, or that matter. https://t.co/eVdoZtxAyd

@profmarkcollard In other words, not distressed, annoyed, or irritated. Just intrigued and interested.

@profmarkcollard Here's how I put it in 101: Genetic, linguistic, and material culture traits sometimes move together, but they don't have to. There is no reason to assume they should. They can bounce around population networks together or separately. We try to figure out how and when.

@greg_ashman At this point, I don't know that I'm not a next token prediction machine. It's pretty clear that current LLMs are embodied very differently than humans, and so whatever consciousness they may have must be different from ours, but I'm not confident that they don't have some.

This is great news!

It's ok, soon we will all be living in Musktopia.

[Andre Costopoulos @AndreCosto]

@jtlewis_arch Awesome. Well done :)

Learning is a slow, sometimes painful process of transcending the assumptions we inherited.

Student: "Unfinished reflection"
Me: "Aren't they all?"

[Andre Costopoulos @AndreCosto]

@profmarkcollard At least they're not baffled. At least not in the headline.

[Andre Costopoulos @AndreCosto]

The world in which we live is mostly made of the unintended consequences of the actions of others.
