Lukewarm take: "friendly reminders" are passive aggressive
Assessment in the AI age. Is it even their work? Do they even care? What are we to do?
USyd offers a two-lane approach: secure or open conditions. This doesn't sit well with me. Here's my attempt to explain why.

The two-lane approach has us veering further off track
In the mad scramble to lock down assessment security and devalue the role of developmental assessment, have we lost the ability to trust students altogether?

This is the strategy to follow right now. Keep doing the thing, but as a consultant. The world needs you.
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

More dumb AI shit no one asked for while the world burns and people forget how to relate to each other 🙄
Meta's great new idea, now that Facebook and Instagram are infected with AI slop, is to also let AI-generated characters made by users appear as actual accounts on the platforms. The last stage of "social" media is millions of bots giving each other thumbs-up reacts.
Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated 'Users' No One Asked For
Meta says it will integrate AI-generated characters into Facebook and Instagram with their own user accounts.

Why is it not ok to say no to GenAI? Yeah, I know they're slipping it into our drinks, so a hardline policy of "none for me thanks" is not going to result in an AI-free diet.
But last time I checked, when someone ignored your choice not to consent, that didn't make your choice irrelevant.
