Taking a walk because I just had to sit through 5 hours of some genuinely great teachers talking about how they plug everything in a Gemini and I'm very depressed about it

Can't wait for humans to have nothing to talk about with each other because there is no shared experiences anymore. The death of the last vestiges of monoculture and interpersonal connection is only cool to people who don't participate in community anyway, and therefore do not value that interpersonal connection.

Yes. I am listening to it right now and want to continue doing so. It is far higher quality and infinitely customized to my tastes. If I don't like a song I can just modify it.

He's up one of the greatest memes of all times but the fact is he was an outstanding receiver for a championship team. 84 yd on nine receptions in the super bowl. Put some respect on the name

Every September, it’s “when you walk into the classroom, say hi. Dap me up. Nod. Do Something. Acknowledge there’s another human in the space.” And you know what? They do. Something is definitely off nowadays, but it’s fixable.

Is it just me or anyone else noticed social and spatial awareness completely vanishing? People freezing in doorways, hogging the entire sidewalk, planted in front of exits, blocking whole aisles, stopping at the top of escalators… Get out of the way. Other people exist here too.

The biggest reason to avoid painting, writing or making music with AI is because those things are a pleasure, the act of doing them is soul-forming, creating things is deeply rewarding & satisfying and you were made to create. The joy is in the work. The joy is in the work.

told my boss i’ve been writing for fun lately, and he legit told me to try using ai to write stories for me and then i can just read them. and he was straight up baffled when i told him the fun part is actually sitting and writing

Outsourcing… *checks notes* TALKING TO YOUR OWN KIDS …is the worst use case for AI in the history of the world.

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night: connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests. every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Does a script make a bad teacher better? Does it move them from actively causing harm to doing something useful? Are there many teachers who stink at planning (to the point where they need an actual script) but are solid at everything else? Genuinely curious.

Scripted curriculum (of high quality) is good for students and teachers. It provides clarity and cohesiveness for students and lightens the preparation time and pressure for teachers.

Just seems to me there’s a connection between “can’t plan” and “can’t communicate” and “can’t lead” etc

Re reading Calvin and Hobbes with my 9 y.o. I did not remember how advanced some of the jokes were! I’m now asking myself, “did I *get* this when I was a kid?” … And I think I did! Reading made us so smart back then

Did y’all read the comic section of the paper when you were little? I tried to talk to someone about this popular comic and he was like “Who tf read the paper as a child???” I thought the comic section was for kids and all of us read it???

You basically should be driven entirely by whim. You should buy six books on Taoism in one day and read three of them before getting really into loop quantum gravity for a few weeks. You should know a little bit about a completely incomprehensible assemblage of subjects

With mass literacy under attack, I worry that the drive to learn new things is dying with it. I don’t want to live in a world where people’s interests are determined solely by algorithms. Read widely, explore libraries, eagerly seek out music, books & films you’d never heard of.

I’ve got all sorts of former students emailing me happy about the movie. Love when that happens

It was profoundly depressing when the movie was first announced and a professional media critic admitted he had never heard of the Odyssey, but what I found even more upsetting was how a bunch of his followers posted, “How did Nolan even learn about this obscure text?”

It's not that teachers are resistant to new ideas. It's that we can tell when you & your suggestions aren't grounded in the realities of our classrooms.

Sometimes I just want to say (after a big sigh), “come show me what that looks like in my real life classroom.” Talk is cheap.
