With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand.

It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here:

The word for chicken meat is "poultry", which comes from French (along with pork and beef). In contemporary usage, poultry isn't used as often as pork and beef are but it *does* exist.

英語ネイティブニキに聞きたい
​昔からずっと気になってたんだけど
日本語は生きてる豚は"Buta"だし、お肉になっても"Buta＋niku"だよね？
でも英語だと、生きてる時は"Pig"なのに、お肉になると"Pork"になるじゃん
牛だって"Cow"が"Beef"に変わる
​なのに、なんで鶏だけはどっちも"Chicke"なの?

Taking it all in.

English education still has a long, long way to go.

Can't even describe how much I hate what AI has done to the process of grading student work. I hate finding it, I hate the paranoia it fosters, I hate the confrontations with students who have used it. Nothing else in my experience has ever changed my job this much for the worse

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

New "AI" note for this semester's syllabus.

@regularaugust Not quite the same thing but Miss Bunny (Thumper's girlfriend from Bambi) is really popular despite being pretty obscure and playing a miniscule role in Bambi and not really appearing in much else.

we should build cities around walkability so you can see stuff like this

US can't even do their own car culture right. The Japanese figured out how to use their hazard lights to say "thank you".

[Christopher @molochofficial]

That there’s no hand gesture or other quick nonverbal sign for “sorry” (that can be used, for example, by drivers) seems like a huge semantic gap

[Armando Duarte @ar_du_]

Why are these radio buttons? They should be check boxes. Get it together, UCSC!

[miss gurl @shes_rADIAnt]

A hill I will die on:

I don’t think education should be left to the states. It should be standardized. Every student deserves and needs the same resources. We need to be on one accord.

[Andrés Pertierra @ASPertierra]

The really obvious answer to “how to stop kids from cheating using AI” is making tests and quizzes 100% manual again, in rooms where you have to use pen and paper or typewriters, which will be way less convenient but seems like only option at this point
