@toddconaway Wouldn’t it be awesome if they actually offered a salary that would allow them to live in the area?
@toddconaway Whimsy is a greatly underestimated teaching modality. We do not know of this “academia” that you speak of. We would love to hear your take on NotebookLM.

"I believe that when both educators and learners improve their critical AI literacy, they will be better able to resist using AI in ways that are harmful or inappropriate. Instead, they will feel empowered to use it constructively, while being aware of the limitations."

Working on a presentation on AI and Ethics. It has a bibliography here. I would love more suggestions: https://geoffcain.com/blog/bibliography-for-ai-and-ethics/
I love that generative AI is such that a paper from 2023 is referred to as "an old paper." https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.10601
I have been in conversations with some humans that I don’t think would pass the Turing Test. #ai #chatgpt
I cancelled WaPo too. That broke my heart. I like that they asked for a reason and we wrote “A billionaire meddling with journalistic freedom and integrity.” I will still NYT and Guardian.
@w0bb1t @asrg I agree with you, but I keep asking ChatGPT what we need to do to stop the abuses of AI and it keeps suggesting that we burn it down and form a socialist state! :-)
Reading an interesting report that was assigned in a UDL course I am in. Its called "Responsible AI and Tech Justice: A Guide for K-12 Education." Meant to support "the critical interrogation of AI and its implications on individuals, communities, and the world."
