The way "AI" systems are presented as "social companions to fight loneliness" is very similar in how "AI" is supposed to help teaching: Both are founded in a massive misunderstanding of the social dynamics techies try to replace. You friend isn't just a thing to send you text, they're not a […]

Well, I never thought I'd write an article about defence, or with "military" in the title. Who said only military officers can deal with uncertainty? On the importance of uncertainty in edtech data visualisations. With @juliane Not #openaccess (they wanted over 4000 EUR, "scandalous", said my […]
