I'm a Bible teacher who is pretty interested these days in the moral dimension of technology. In my feed I'll talk a lot about education, technology and scripture, and a little about other things.

Primary use case of generative AI in politics is not creating high quality deceptive imagery, but obvious attempts to take someone's likeness and subject it to your will. Technology always extends something. One thing GenAI extends is non-consensual interactions. Just look at how it was built!

I've been studying technology as religion which seeps into politics. In light of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Curtis Yarvin's influence on the current administration I was interested when I came across the Technocracy movement in Canada in the 40s and 50s, heavily influenced Joshua N. Haldeman.

General consensus in education about LLMs is to make "better assessments". LLMs do punish some bad assessments, but they also work on good assessments. Making assessments LLM-resistant sometimes means making them worse. Just because an LLM can do something, doesn't mean it's bad to ask students to.

I wrote several drafts of an article I titled "Black Like It"—after the (in)famous book from the 60s—about generative AI & blackness. I never felt satisfied & figured the topic just wasn't meant for me to write about, but in essence I was trying to talk about how unsettling these profiles are.

Spent hours with a vendor on LTI integration and we were still stumped by the end. We both reached out to our CMS/LMS support. Mine gave me a list of things to try generated by ChatGPT which asked things clearly answered in the video I attached to the ticket. Going it alone I guess.

I bought one of those retro game handhelds. Between work and kids I don't have the time I did in my youth so I put stuff on it which can be played in short spurts. Like last night before bed I turned it on and played just a quick 52 levels of Chip's Challenge.
