doctrīnae Chrīstī
nec fīdus nec tamen expers
dictum cognōvī
dēque forāmine acūs
dēque camēlō-- at nōn
prius hic quam vīlis abīsset
dīves, quī rēctē
quid velit explicuit.

ūnus erat tantum
quem īnfrā videās crocodīlus--

Procrustes: makes certain the bed in his guest room is just the right size for his guests-- by stretching them or cutting off their feet.

Theseus:

Sciron: asks that his guests offer him the service of washing his feet by a beautiful scenic overlook; boots them off cliff.

Cercyon: invites travelers to wrestle with him and then murders the people who lose their match.

Theseus:

Sinis: challenges travellers to a friendly game of bend-the-tree-over and then sends them flying or tears them in two for the giggles.

"deskills"/"deskilled" my new favorite term.
Quick summary is thus: our position is that AI deskills students while the courses we teach are specifically about skills development, so AI use is antithetical to the goals of the course.

AVSPICIVM XXIX

ēgregiī iuvenis
laudēs mandāre parātus
rāsilibus cērīs
porticibus sedeō
dum sōl pōne nitēns
tergumque operamque apiānam
illūcet, laxat,
reddit opus facile.
accipiter cursūs
obicit tam doctus et arte
tantā ut sōl subitīs
dēficiat tenebrīs:
tota est nox mihimet
cērīsque meīs et opellīs

we had a hold alert at our building today; even though they announced soon afterward that it was for a routine canine drug sweep, it was not soon enough to stop a student from having a panic attack in my room and ending up curled up and weeping under my desk. a first for me-- probably not a last.

I had to say good night and good bye to this snow angel yesterday. He was only with me five weeks but I loved him with my whole heart and gave him everything I had. Adopt senior dogs.

unloading the dishwasher in whatever order occurs to me at the time makes my kitchen cabinets look like they belong to a scatterbrained disney character.
