Have I found the solution to my chronic writing challenges? How do I feel morally about this? How does everyone else feel about this?

I rewatched "Don't Look Up". Pretty funny movie, now I have nightmares 🙃

I don't think people know that making plausible fake videos is now something that doesn't require a lot of skill or time I made this Veo video of a man trying out a flying skateboard at CES from a text prompt, 2nd try. Notice the shadows, green light, his body shifts for balance

Researchers used AI to generate 288 complete academic finance papers predicting stock returns, complete with plausible theoretical frameworks & citations. Each paper looks and reads as legit. They did this to show how easy it now is to mass produce "credible" research. Academia isn't ready.

"The last month has transformed the state of AI, with the pace picking up dramatically in just the last week. AI labs have unleashed a flood of new products..." But I'm ON LEAVE! 😫 @emollick.bsky.social, can you please tell everyone to chill for a bit? I need a break! #GenAI #HigherEd #MedEd #HPE

I'd left myself 21-22 tabs with interesting work reading to do over the break, but I accidentally restarted my computer and the tabs are gone. I'm calling it a sign. ✨ Happy holidays, everyone! 🥂🎄🎁

I actually love the time of the year where almost every email is followed by an instant out-of-office reply. Yes, everyone, let's take a break! Also, this is on your desk now for when you return, and not on mine. #AcademicSky #MedEd #HPE #HolidayMood

A photo I posted of graffiti in Syria in 2014. "One day the war will be over and I will return to my poem" I hope they will return to their poem

✨The Festival of GenAI at Uni Newcastle was f-ing awesome!! ✨ Yes, I'm biased because I organised it. 💅 But: 2 inspiring keynotes, 70 people in a promptathon, dozens of solutions to our challenges, & 90 minutes of open discussion... It was awesome. Thanks to all who attended! The time is always now!

Universities do not exist to 'train', produce 'skills' or generate 'impact'. They exist to create new knowledge and teach about it. Any assertion to the contrary is in error, and is destroying everything it touches.

Maybe it's a collective nightmare and we will wake up and laugh at how wild and terrifying it was. Because surely we aren't witnessing a demolition of higher education across multiple countries, right? ...RIGHT?

Holy guacamole... I almost feel exposed in sharing this. Not even my Spotify Wrapped reaches this level of realness. As for the suggestion to start a blog, please watch this space 😜 #NorasCORNER blueskyroast.com/roast/norale...

I do not donate to my employer because we are already in a labor for compensation relationship. I'm very confused by these emails.

Maybe something about the centrality of the educational mandate of University? Going beyond preparing people to do a job? 🤪 I don't know, I wasn't there. I must be hearing voices...

General question - I know it is early days, but what are the seminal papers about GenAI in education so far? (Everyone is having a crack at it - what has cut through?) #ASCILITE2024

Behold the Project Tracker! A tool to organise/visualise the flurry of projects and initiatives that swirls in my head on a daily basis. This research-focussed version will be expanded to cover more academic domains when I become important enough to be allocated a wall. #AcademicSky #MedEd #HPE

Following the brilliant path charted by @drjot.bsky.social, I am sharing my big L of the year: my application for academic promotion was unsuccessful. I spent 50 hours crafting my promotion application. In the process, I took stock of all the positive impact I have in my institution & beyond. 🧵

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.
