This part, specifically, seems like it has implications for the "use LLMs to create course materials" crowd infecting education.
A screenshot from the article that reads, "...invested less effort in subsequently writing their advice, and ultimately wrote advice that was shorter, less factual and more generic. In turn, when this advice was presented to an independent sample of readers, who were unaware of which tool had been used to learn about the topic, they found the advice to be less informative, less helpful, and they were less likely to adopt it."

My local Meals on Wheels (Montgomery County) is doing a food drive for Thanksgiving. Is yours? (I like an excuse to get crafty!)

Would you like an internet kitten? She doesn't make it easier to get out of bed, but she's cute!

There is a praying mantis hanging onto the bottom of the hummingbird feeder. This has caused some concern amongst the hummingbirds
A hummingbird feeder is hanging from a plumeria tree, and a praying mantis is barely visible hanging underneath the feeder.

The dog was climbing the walls, and it was all because she spotted this lovely lady. Through the power of the zoom lens, we could even tell that she has at least one baby tucked in her pouch!

Kicked off my day supporting the local foodbank (and outrunning the rain)! Storms are moving in, so the protest this afternoon might not happen/become a car parade (we take the lightning seriously)

Mine has started popping a picture with a little factoid up there. Have they switched it from video for you? This one can be shoved mostly out of the way and isn't sitting over the results, thank goodness!

So now I'm going to make a fancier digital art version, I guess? I just did a quick thing on paper for her.

I went for a walk in the woods this morning. It's always special when there's snow this far south!
