This is accompanied by a small but growing list of resources, obviously including the works of @danmcquillan and @olivia, among others.

A black and white diagram (sort of mind map) that aims to visualise some of the key topics under the heading 'Critical AI Literacy for GenAI and Big Tech in Higher Education'.

I'm going deeper into the belly of the beast today, by attendind and presenting at the annual Irish Learning Technology Association (#ilta) conference called #edtech25.

The call for papers and the framing of the "Are we there yet" thematic has a heathly […]

Screenshot of a publication being released today, with a techno-optimist, uncredited quote. This one reads: the future of education isn't about resisting AI —it's about harnessing it. A screenshot of an accelerationist quote in a publication about AI: Adapting to disruptive technologies is not just a challenge, but an opportunity to redefine education. Another uncredited quote: AI is not the future of education it is the present. The challenge now is not just to adapt, but to innovate, collaborate, and lead the way in shaping it's role in learning.

Remote.materialsmatter.ie (no SSL yet, http only for now) is actually remote!

Solar rig has been performed very well, it is hugely overkill for this setup, but good to have 30 days of testing confirmation.

Gives me no issue to add a heltec v3 #meshtastic node to the power draw, should be fine.

Photograph of a computer screen on a desk, showing two windows, a terminal window with an active SSH session, and a browser in the background showing a basic web page with information about the host. Leaning against the computer screen is a smartphone, which is running the website that the browser has loaded. Screenshot of a web page titled 'remote.materialsmatter.ie', it has text on it that gives basic information about the device the page is running on.

[Microsoft complaint]

Jaysus fuck #microsoft, maybe fix the issues (or simply disable?) in your 'Text predictions' (https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoft/comments/1bes83k/why_is_outlook_deleting_my_spaces_after_words/) before making more useless changes towards AI?
