This is bullshit, why not just make it Chex-tra delicious from the beginning

Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social.
I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI.
A few thoughts for your consideration...

I did restrain myself from correcting the gas guy's incorrect chemistry when he tried to explain why the smell gets stronger as the tank gets really low.
It was 8 pm and nobody had time for that.

So yesterday started with the smell of gas in the house (due to a low propane tank, not a leak, thankfully) and ended with our doorbell going bonkers at 10 pm.
Fun times fun times.

I had something that was not really a nightmare, more of an anxiety dream where I was visiting Seattle and only had a day to see stuff but my phone wouldn't connect to the network so I couldn't communicate with my friends or figure out where I needed to go.

When I'm feeling particularly hopeless about the future of professoring as a profession, I try to remind myself: That's what they want. They want us to not want to be professors anymore.
