@dr_nickiw I *loved* Season 1 of OMitB but didn't make it through Season 2. It didn't seem nearly as tight.

@ShanaVWhite beaten-down?

@jomc @savasavasava I've also heard people misreading the "OpenAI" brand as "ChatGPT is open source!"

...which had me going 😵‍💫,

because it's not only proprietary, but it's not even going to remain free after the "research phase"?? 🫠

I think, for example, the Google Streetview data set is often stunning and often useful. But as a project, it was a grotesque violation of worldwide privacy norms that absolutely never should have happened. It’s possible to be fascinated by horrible things!

[Josh Sheldon @joshsheldon]

@dr_nickiw But all the tech bros are telling me to break things fast. Is that bad advice? </sarcasm>

@ShriramKMurthi @_mball_ @shuchig @guzdial @cchmagyar @UmichCompFor @cynthiablee @chrispiech @landay If I ran the CS major (and I never will) students would be required to balance tech courses with humanities 50/50. And only 4 courses per semester. Theyd know less math/physics/cs and thatd be fine.

[Mark Guzdial @guzdial]

Exactly! We need to develop ways to teach CS that are about being effective at using CS for *their* career, not just drawing people into a *Tech* career. That's what PCAS @UmichCompFor is about. We're trying to develop new methods of teaching computing https://t.co/0sejO8WHft

@cfiesler neck-in-neck with Twitter at this point.

In the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting, Greg Abbott went to a re-election fundraiser while Beto O'Rourke went to donate blood. The difference could not be more obvious.

[Josh Sheldon @joshsheldon]

@ShanaVWhite and it's only accelerated/gotten worse. I suspect we are well over the cliff of no return and simply do not realize it yet. 😥

[Dr. Shuchi Grover 🇮🇳🇺🇸🌎 @shuchig]

Two fantastic @BpcRespect panels- 1/ on teaching to transgress in CS led by @dr_nickiw w/ @lessthanbri EllenSpertus ChrtisineAlvarado IrinaRabkina and 2/ words we speak, words we write w/ @ProfTiaMadkins @drfletcher88 Dr.JoshuaChilds DrAinGrooms #RESPECT2022

[Josh Sheldon @joshsheldon]

@dr_nickiw @schock Darn - Sorry I missed this. Will a recording be available to watch online?

@CambridgePolice Any idea why there are helicopters circling N. Cambridge/Somerville?

.@Wayfair 6/6 Not sure what to take away from this experience except don't shop for critical items with Wafair.

[Josh Sheldon @joshsheldon]

.@Wayfair 1/n Very disappointed in the options you give your representatives for customer "service." I ordered a 2-part item - a toilet - on Oct.7, because I needed it to replace a leaking toilet. I was told it would arrive in 2 shipments, each within a week. No such luck.

[Josh Sheldon @joshsheldon]

.@Wayfair 5/n Now I'm back to square 1 and my toilet is still leaking. I was still willing to shop with you but ask for expedited shipping to be comped to get this finally dealt with. Nope. the best your reps can apparently do is offer 10% off. ack. That's less than most coupons.
