I love Stephen Downes: “The future always arrives later than we think…” Just sit with that for a while over a beer on a Friday night.

"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..."

Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling.

I have a lot going on around AI that I should post here but I also want to welcome some of my friends from Fb who are making the migration. Welcome!

Also, I am damn sure that the OpenAI model is definitely not the way to go ethically, BUT I think we can work on a way to have AI enhance or collaborate with students on critical thinking and problem-solving. This is not a “thinking” tool but a rhetorical one.

I am still figuring out Bluesky. I appreciate your patience as I get how people are following one another.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

This is my first post to Bluesky. I am also on Mastodon and my blog is at www.geoffcain.com. I am not afraid to spread out through multiple networks: they come and go and I see this as a way to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones.
