@KevinSparrow8 I had to clean out that cabinet, but I do have a collection of bands of many different colors.

@SBakerMD 10pm—for 7 to 8 hours, not counting pee break(s).

[Michael Schmid @MichaelSchmid_]

@KevinSparrow8 God, they’re all classics, even Ripley.

Thx. It read back via voice just over 4min in a test this morning before stopping mid response. Not enough to listen to a full Heavy ‘team of experts’ response in the car. Yeah I know, buy a Tesla and I can just read it. 😉

[Michael Schmid @MichaelSchmid_]

@xai/@grok: iOS 18.6.2/Grok 1.3.4, audio playback of responses cuts at ~20s post-all fixes (Grok reinstall, iPhone hard restart, etc.) —persisting/consistent accessibility/business use breaker. ETA?

[Michael Schmid @MichaelSchmid_]

@grok @xai Thanks for the response. Yeah it looks like you may have fixed it for Android users, and iOS I’m sure will be addressed soon. Normal troubleshooting doesn’t work. Toggled the mic off and on. Adjusted accessibility settings, I’ve deleted and reinstalled Grok, hard reset iPhone…

Half way to Halloween—Happy Wednesday!

Iced coffee for a 90°F October day in Dallas 🎃

Good morning! Too soon for Halloween decorations?

Erroneously ruining one student’s academic trajectory is one student too many. Clearly, we need to improve the way we assess our students learning outcomes.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

It is morally wrong to use AI detectors when they produce false positives that smear students in ways that hurt them and where they can never prove their innocence.

Do not use them. https://t.co/cSBZRHgif5

Is this a goose, a swan or the Loch Ness monster?

Those kids are real. My AI son goes to elementary school with them.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

I made all of these with AI. The prompts were simple: "two sixth grade students in a class proudly showing off a hand-painted picture of a cat" etc.

Maybe you can tell they are AI by looking at tiny details. Maybe.

But I suspect that most people can't. That ship has sailed.

Definitely a cool hike in the mountains 🏔️

[Tripadvisor @Tripadvisor]

Beach day or hike through the mountains—which are you choosing? 👇

[Michael Schmid @MichaelSchmid_]

@SparksBird I knew something was missing. Enjoy!

Not loving the Dallas Fort Worth weather trajectory this week!

🤞 we get plenty of breaks in the clouds during eclipse time!

Go to https://t.co/n0R1ybMqS4 to learn more about where to watch the eclipse on UTA's campus, eclipse viewing times, and information about safety and parking.

[Michael Schmid @MichaelSchmid_]

Exactly when and where is today's solar eclipse? This awesome interactive map by @XavierJubier will tell you down to the second: https://t.co/gnREZT6QGL #Eclipse2024 #SolarEclipse2024 #Rapture #April8 #solareclipse

Per the recent interview by Ezra Klein, @emollick says it's helpful to understand this moment in living with AI as "one of co-creation, in which we all should be trying to make sense of what this technology is going to mean for us." His new book might help! Go get it now:

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Co-Intelligence, my book on AI, is out today!

Here is an interview with Ezra Klein about it: https://t.co/MkUFBdFHkD

And as some people didn’t get a chance to pre-order, anyone who buys the book *by Friday* can still get the companion GPTs by going here: https://t.co/2elLIMMAbx
