Thanks for all the great work Ed. Any chance you will do a Better Offline episode about how how education institutions are pressured into using AI tools in courses by the major AI companies and LMS providers? They want to hook kids and young adults into using AI as a "serious" tool.

We have had so many traditional Robin Hood movies. Why can't we have some reinvention? A live-action Rocket Robin Hood. A modern day Robin Hood set in a Brazilian Favela where King John is a drug lord. A Vampire Robin Hood where Dracula is tKing John hoarding the blood from newly turned vampires.

Well the "dalek having a panic attack" sounding earthquake alarm feature on my Android phone here in Mexico did its job. Scared the shit out of me and got me to leave the building. #simulacro #sismo #mexico #android

Seeing this thread directly after @edzitron description of AI having an untenable business model makes explicitly clear AI is a tool for Fascism to destroy public education. Make Schools/HE reliant on AI, AI bubble bursts and takes down education providers with it.

sharing this for anyone else who is also heartily sick of AI forcing itself into all possible forms of human interaction.

A landscape scene with the following text "Fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Fuck off until you come up to a gate with a sign saying - You can't fuck off past here. Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever-

Thank you so much - I presume purchasing your 2 books about screenwriting "Shoot This One" and "Shoot That One" from an independent book store, would be an acceptable way to return the favor?

Thank you so much @tkingfisher.com. I just finished "Nettle and Bone" and was blown away by how you managed to pack the worldbuilding so effectively into such a compelllng story. Do you have other books set in that same fantasy world?
