What can higher ed learn from AI-content generation? 🤖 @_atwist created his own university via AI and the results are amazing, worrying and a possible wake-up call for university branding.... Read his blog to see what happened: ow.ly/2nkm50MIZC9

The @distantpod x Fat Whites coffee tastes even better when you know the money raised is helping to fund publicly accessible defibrillators. Cheers @SteffGarrero @elisjames @MikeBubbins

Remember when people thought chatbots were the future. And it was obvious they were terrible.

Kinda fascinated by the response to the new @sheffielduni logo. Seeing quite a few "it looks like Manchester" comments...but when you see the colours together they're not actually *that* close. They are both purple sure, but then Man City and Chelsea are both blue...
