friendly reminder: ai being pushed so hard and so vehemently into education is not because "this future is inevitable and we have to adapt"
it's because companies have invested billions into this technology and they need everyone to use it to make a profit.

In all seriousness, how do I bring my Twitter engagement back up bc it was literally vital for getting funded. Do I just have to dive back into hardcore tweeting again?

We’re in the “publish AND perish” stage
An article in NATURE with a nonsense AI-generated graphic. NATURE.

But actually it's interesting to consider how astronomers told Native Hawaiians that they had to accept the Thirty Meter Telescope on their land because it counted as progress but don't like it so much when Elon Musk tells them this about satellite constellations in low-earth orbit 🔭
Planned satellite constellations may swamp future orbiting telescopes
Planned orbital observatories would see satellites cross nearly all of their images.

Someone bought the trail cam, thank you so much!!! We're trying to track all the boars around campus because they destroy our garden.
Seeking donations! I work at a Hawaiian immersion charter school. The goal is to get my high school students to science fair next year. They have been researching and designing their own experiments. Anything is greatly appreciated! List is here (and will be updated):

The thing about pre-compliance is that it’s going to look a lot like making rational choices of harm reduction to avoid targeting in the short run.
Dropping the most vulnerable groups from protective orgs in the name of preservation for the larger group is an example of this.

Philip K. Dick told a story about this in the book MINORITY REPORT, which features this technique being used to catch presumed criminals. It is discovered they were arresting innocent people more often than not.
Knowing how prevalent "predictive analytics" data mining techniques are also cues one in on recognizing that there are forces at be that want to be able to predict what consumers are doing before they do it. Should make one ask..."for why?".
One could go as far to say that social engineering of controlled opposition narratives like "cancel culture" "woke" are just examples of the status quo practicing intersubjectivity, by convincing others how to process their own emotions to said online phenomena.

do a lot of high school teachers not use rubrics anymore? Is it bc people are giving less “big” assignments? Bc I think a lot of my college students don’t seem to know what they are and that that’s how I calculate their grade on assignments
