Here's some morning autumnal grasses on a black sand dune blowing in the wind (with a little extra intentional camera movement to move them a bit more!).

This thread resonates for me as an educator; I am increasingly seeing students struggle with things that were regarded as quite basic ten years ago. I swear it’s not just old people grumbling about « kids today . . . « - something really feels profoundly off lately. Many factors colliding.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

"The leading theory for the formation of the Moon is that a newborn Earth was slammed into by a Mars-sized object named Theia in the pinball chaos of the early Solar System.
....some of Theia may also have remained with the Moon....lunar sulfur may have originated on Theia, too."

I had fun doing this podcast episode for The Ancients about Old Babylonian letters! We discussed messengers, scribes, and even a certain copper trader of dubious repute! #eanasir #cuneiform #Mesopotamia

Maybe it's just me, but this was a headwreck of a read. Seemingly there's now a whole new "craft" emerging - producers who help aspiring musicians to "humanize" their AI generated songs.
for my @newyorker.com column I profiled Nick Arter, a consultant turned musician who began producing AI songs under the name Nick Hustles a year ago and has hit millions of streams and gone pro. Where is the line of human creativity in the post-AI music industry? www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...
That New Hit Song on Spotify? It Was Made by A.I.
Aspiring musicians are churning out tracks using generative artificial intelligence. Some are topping the charts.
