Going back to last week, when I presented my experiences with a “Specifications Grading” (SG) assessment format for my Chem2002 quantum chemistry course at #unb during the Kaleidoscope Teaching Showcase 2025, organised by the Centre for Enhanced Teaching and Learning. (1/4)

Time to draw the line.
For months we followed what happened when a company forced AI into the world of craft beer. Legal threats, people quitting, and beer judges in revolt over being told to use AI.

What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer
A prominent beer competition introduced an AI-judging tool without warning. The judges and some members of the wider brewing industry were pissed.

Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge.
