Reminder: you don't have to engage with AI as an instructor. You can talk about AI--even build AI literacy, if you want to call it that--and still not engage directly with a brutal, unethical, ecologically disastrous bundle of technologies. Regardless of institutional pressure, you can refuse.

Well fed prairie dogs at the Valles Caldera.
Gunnison's prairie dogs are abundant in the Valles Caldera. They have a complex social structure, with a sophisticated alarm call system, and live in interconnected burrows that have separate areas for sleeping, eating, and waste.

Going to see a live orchestra for the first time tonight. Mostly excited for the merch stand, hoping to snag a tuxedo and maybe a harp.

You can still cancel!
It’s not too late to cancel your holiday travel plans. If your family is mean to you, cancel. If the weather is too dangerous, cancel. If you don’t want to catch a virus, cancel. You can just stay home. I love you. ❤️

If this is your first Thanksgiving sober, I’m more than willing to talk to you and give you practical tips for survival.
I’m coming up on 10 years sober and 30-ish years of it being my least favorite holiday.
Don’t hesitate to reach out.

“that’s not very nice” “well are they doing nice things?” works great here too.
people are angry that chatbots are being thrust on them; that the industry is unregulated; that it’s deskilling young people; is being used as a weapon against labor and popular gAI is built on theft of the work of millions of artists and authors.
You don’t get to demand civility.

Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...

Me: “I’M WORKING!”

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

“We have a tradition at my house where we go around the table and share something we’re thankful for.” Oh, word? How creative! Surely that’s not every family’s tradition!

It's almost like the tobacco companies weren't even invited to give their input! Shockingly anti-business! Who will think of the corporations?!
Damn, it's like the French *actually* want to discourage smoking. This is *by far* the least disgusting image I've seen on a tobacco product. They appear on both large sides and are impossible to peel off. Two small sides have text warnings. I had to cover the other side with black marker.

I went to open a loaf of bread just now (Pepperidge Farm Butter Bread) and the inner wrapper? Did not have overlapping folds you could pick open! It was heat sealed down the sides with no folds! I had to use scissors! Whose idea was that?

dems in congress shouldn't stop talking about how noem must resign and face consequences for this atrocity
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
