Hey folks! I've been wondering whether my little "new article summaries" would be more useful/interesting/etc if they were short-form videos, instead. Here's an example (although this one is probably too long; I'd aim for 90 secs). What do you think? Is video useful, or should I stick with text?

“Lots of institutions are trying A.I.,” said Drew Bent, the education lead at Anthropic. “We’re at a point now where we need to make sure that these things are backed by outcomes and figure out what’s working and what’s not working.”
Pro tip: hire education researchers to figure it out.

My resolution: I will quit my email app at the end of each day and not launch it in the morning until I've spent at least a few hours on research. One of the most common ways I derailed my research time was to check email beforehand.

There are some valid questions asked in this article. And I wish people would be more nuanced in their discussion of "AI." The utility, ethics, possibilities, and risks of #GenAI are, to me, very different than those related to machine learning, natural language processing, etc.

Interesting choice to use the word “situated” as the main descriptor of work on environmental structuring and self-control. I’m not sure that’s catchy enough for the average person, but perhaps I think that because “situated” cues a whole other set of ideas, for me.

This post and the replies and quote posts illustrate the importance of identifying and following experts. Doing so can help you debunk misconceptions (e.g., college costs). It also illustrates the challenges of monitoring the often-changing reliability of broad information sources (e.g., news).
I think most researchers and policymakers underestimate how much people really do not understand the difference between college sticker and net price. And the way high prices at a select few influences feelings about all.

🤓Do students take context into account when planning how to study?
We examine how students plan their use of cognitive vs. motivational learning strategies, and whether they take learning context into account. They do, but mainly for cognitive strategies.

The season finale of Pluribus illustrated well how cultural variations would no longer be needed or possible if humans had direct access to each other’s minds. And it illustrated what a loss that would be. I wonder if, at some point, that will be a weakness of the hive mind.

Welp, time for more annual year-end “how did Jeff spend his time this year?” report. I track my hours very carefully using @timingapp.
Some baseline info: I’m in a 9-month tenured track position with a baseline distribution of 40% research, 40% teaching, and 20% service. However... 1/n

I think it’s really important to find meaning in your work. And often each person’s meaning is unique. That’s a superpower. You can use it to do great, & novel, work.
