me at the end of class: here's a little speculative exercises; imagine you wake up from cryosleep in 2085. what's the kind of tech-society r/ship you'd like to see around you?

students: no AI

I honestly think students' views are missing from the 'should AI be integrated in classrooms' discussion

Do I know anyone who know local history in Rathgar? Various bios of economist W. M. Gorman say that he went to "Mount Temple School, Rathgar" or "Mount Temple College", before 1941. I can't see a school of that name in Rathgar, and it is too early to be The High School or Mount Temple Comprehensive.

If you like a a traditional parish sale, and you're somewhere near North Strand next Saturday, then you could do worse than this...

As ballots are being counted across Ireland today, fringe figures online are celebrating the high number of votes that were spoiled in the election.

Some point to the number of spoiled votes as evidence the election result is illegitimate.

As ballots are counted, misleading claims that the election was ‘rigged’ spread online
Spoiled votes and low turnout were cited to say the election should be re-run.

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.

It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.

The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

We’re in Guildhall Derry today!

And Botanic Gardens Dublin tomorrow!

You mathematicians are always so bloody logical.
We're getting toward the end of #mathsweek, and people have been putting in lots of effort. But, when you decide to do something, always give 100%. Unless you're giving blood...

Of course, soon the organisers and presenters will be suffering from the aftermath.
