We’re Training Students To Write Worse To Prove They’re Not Robots, And It’s Pushing Them To Use More AI
About a year and a half ago, I wrote about my kid's experience with an AI checker tool that was pre-installed on a school-issued Chromebook. The assignment had been to write an essay about Kurt…
I didn’t expect to be doom scrolling on a flight tracking app. Currently watching a US refuelling aircraft trundling past the UK
I was only expecting ocean levels to rise as climate change galloped along - I did not think about the salt water crocodiles moving south
@dunkingdad.bsky.social is how I find out who has died these days
Happy Mardi Gras this weekend everyone
Terrible headline (this is NOT what the new research - link below - shows!), terrible AI image! Argh!
Here’s the actual research:

Where do I start?! 1/4
Luckily no, just the heavy rain (I was driving pretty slowly as visibility was very poor)
Drove home during the storm Canberra had this afternoon, which was no fun at all.
Anything less than 2 hrs would make it better than the faff around of flying (or having your flight delayed and or cancelled)
This is fascinating. Also, whenever I overdo a sensible serve of Hot English mustard it feels very much like something has ruffled my brain/scalp
Can’t wait for the words, as ever
Would organising a white supremacist to come and speak at your Australian event be an offence under the ban.
This workaround might help you if you haven’t changed your name since the old UK passport expired but is at the discretion of the carrier. I wonder how many Australian adult children of a British parent are also discovering they now need a UK passport
Sell and invest in another asset class then I guess
I grew up in a small country town a little bigger than Balmoral but the same in essentials. I left as soon as I could and still cannot ever buy into the romanticised views of small towns.
This is ridiculously bad levels of horrible
The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

Now that I’ve gotten googled it and know what that is, you should definitely buy it
Yep, and not just there, they are everywhere in Canberra now
Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social The abstract opens with the words: "Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals." Liam Hogan @liamhogan.id.au Peter Hartcher arguing for an Australian nuke is one of the dumbest things you'll read this year. It's February I know. But I'm making the call.
The random placement of these 2 posts in my timeline is just perfect
Podcasts are things I listen to in the car - if I have to watch, won’t be doing it
😂 possibly, he was very put out when I disturbed his sleep to retrieve it
Our remote was hidden under a snoozing cat recently
Jfc, that’s huge
Also, saddling up my high horse: vaccination misinformation promoted by social media platforms is an example of harm affecting those under 16 regardless of whether that age group uses social media
We need a TikTok campaign targeting unvaccinated 16+ yr olds to encourage them to get their catch up vaccinations
Great, those are sorted (1 and 2 daily, 3 as medically indicated)
