I'm so shocked to hear the news about this dear Colombian-Canadian colleague, based in Belfast. Please share with your networks in Germany, he was last seen in Munich.

Just got word that @yecidortega.bsky.social may be missing at the moment. If you have any info on his whereabouts, do get in touch at the email on the flier!

Elon Musk looks invincible, but a lot of his power and wealth is tied up in Tesla. This week @niedermeyer.online joins @parismarx.com to explain why Tesla is more vulnerable than it might appear and how hurting it can cause problems for Musk. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/265_...

With each update, tools like Midjourney promise us more »realistic« representations – but the »reality« these images represent has often little to do with the one we live in. Rather, they are best described as »Platform Realism,« a second-order aesthetic of generic images. A thread ... 1/9

It was wonderful to be with colleagues and friends at this symposium and the #CSET2025 meeting last week. It was a busy few days between our workshop and the panel discussions.

This was a great event last Friday where there was a real sense of pushback on the hyped-up commercial narratives around AI, and a common refrain calling for a rewilded internet.

"AI will personalise learning" is a meaningless phrase. There is no research evidence base to support it. Indeed it may depersonalise education. The quest for personalised learning has a long quixotic history. See @audreywatters.bsky.socialp Teaching Machines mitpress.mit.edu/978026254606...

Israel is delaying the release of Palestinian detainees and prisoners, disrupting the Gaza ceasefire deal, and its military is intensifying an offensive in the occupied West Bank.

I love a podcast - I'll take any chance to get outdoors with my dog and give myself space to reflect on work-related things. @slowtech2000.bsky.social and I explored digital (un)tethering at the 2021 OER conference: www.lostandfoundinedtech.org/2021/04/20/d... Here are some recent recommendations:

Please call the relevant authorities if you recognise any of the people in this photo. They are believed to be still at large and are described as "unhinged". For unspeakable pedagogical crimes they are due to be deported from an elevator 🛗

Grateful for the chance to share my thoughts on responsible use of LLMs in psychology research @spspnews.bsky.social #spsp2025. Here's a summary of my presentation for those who missed it. Thanks to @ashwinia.bsky.social for organizing this panel! How should LLMs be used in psychology research? 🧵

wonderful to hear @helenbeetham.bsky.social troubling the concept of the algorithm — at Education After the Algorithm @dculibrary.bsky.social.

I'm working on my dissertation today & reviewing a curriculum that I helped to design & then taught this summer on AI in education, surveillance, & social media. I thought I'd share this lesson on exploring AI & student monitoring software, online proctoring, & weapons detection. 🧵 edushare.ing/3s

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I loved tuning into Helen Beetham's keynote at DCU's Education after the Algorithm conference this morning. #learningrewilded #sketchnote #ai
