Filmmaker. I ride a motorcycle and I like camping. Former film professor - IATSE memeber - Go NOLES!
I wholeheartedly endorse Bitcoin, Ethereum, & Monero, but not shitcoins. Currency is going digital and middlemen like Visa & the feds shouldn’t be part of the equation, nor should they decide who can earn $ based on their ‘morals.’

One (failed) idea that was introduced to faculty while I was a prof at a R1 was to form groups for each class in FB so that we can reach students bec they don’t check their email or Blackboard. They obv didn’t know FB is for “old people” (student quote) and that them being lazy is not my problem.

I appreciate the hustle, but when I hear people saying they have a solution to an issue in academia, whether a problem exists or not, it’s usually someone advancing their pedagogical career or a it’s a money grab. Lots of taxpayer $ flows through unis

It’s better to be pissed off than pissed on.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

No doubt. I now make twice as much with half the stress. Leaving academia was a no brainer.

How would AI know what is discussed in the classroom and during one on one office visits?

I was a film/media prof for five years, so I’m struggling to see how this would be any different than existing software like Blackboard Learn (with AI added to it). How is it different?

How would AI know what a student is struggling with? Grades don’t tell the full story.

It sounds like you added ChatGPT to Blackboard Learn and just rebranded it.

Worst stocking stuffer ever. Back in my day, if you were naughty, you would get coal for Xmas.

Seeing Jupiter and four of its moons through a small telescope blew my mind. It was so beautiful.

9/11 killed 3k people. How many deaths are these companies responsible for?

That he got your letter! He’s just been too busy to write back. You know how it is.

My buddy was an actor and he had friends who worked on Alf. One day he showed me a stash of letters that fans wrote to Alf. They were bonkers. These people thought Alf was real. It was some of the craziest things I’ve ever read.
