OK, #AI question…
These #LLM based GenAI apps are ‘trained’ on a huge amount of #data
But what data exactly?
Like all of the Gutenberg Project or Google Books…?
Sounds a bit WASP to me. And what about copyright?
Are these things trained on data that is mainly ‘western’?
Help please…

Isn’t your student’s failure in assessments not just their failure on the course but also your failure to teach them?
Maximise your teaching success by making the assessment fit the student and help them to pass.

This weekend I came across Hannah Ryggen (1894-1970), a truly astonishing textile #artist from Norway.

Her work was considered so offensive in 1937 that it was #censored.

Anyone know who played the bad female Superintendent who had tried to halt the enquiry?
