I teach AI, I genuinely find a lot of AI stuff interesting, and I desperately want more people to understand how AI works, but if you uncritically say that we should teach everyone AI “because it’s the future”, I simply will not take you seriously

I basically have no social media other than this site, and my goal for this site is just to post about my fun little hobbies, so I'm gonna maybe start posting stuff I knit. Anyways, I made a sweater.

Having exactly one week of classes after Thanksgiving is cruel--it's winter and I just want to wear a big sweater and read romance novels, but I have to come back for ONE week of classes? Just one??

I'm not sure if I'm the first person in Massachusetts to notice this or what but this leaf thing that is happening is pretty good.

I said this on Twitch, but Boswords, you are not immune to this. Love Boswords usually, but this was a bummer.

In "post about better puzzles" news, I remembered to redeem my Apple News subscription that I get from my new phone, and the puzzles are good! They're fun! Wish they weren't tied to an expensive news subscription, but great puzzles!

Already breaking my promise to post about better puzzles, but uhhhh NYT up to it's usual problems

Hey, NYT puzzle, [Ain't how it should be?] is actually kind of a gross/demeaning/prescriptivist clue for AREN'T, and you shouldn't have had it.

acrosswordrose.blogspot.com/2024/10/trai... I made a puzzle! And my friend helped me (and wrote most of these clues)! Anyways, this one is for fans of Chicago and/or public transit.

I know the answer to this is "stop doing the NYT crossword", but I swear they have had 3 different entries in the past week that feel pretty ableist/demeaning of mental health issues, and I would like them to stop doing that!

Hey, NYT, have you considered that you could clue certain actors with just... literally anything else they were ever in.

Realizing that joining a reading group means I actually have to... read papers in a timely manner instead of just collecting unread pdfs.

I can tell that I'm a "real adult" now because I've suddenly felt the need to actually get picture frames for all the art in my living room.
