@jilltxt Yes, I think you are right that plagiarism checkers have met their match with these large language models. Maybe then put the students in dialog with the AI? For example, given the AI text on assembly and apparatus, ask the students to critique it (with references).

First talk at #HaPoP5 by @WarrenSack

@bernardionysius Hi Bernard, Check out these lectures that Patrice Maniglier is doing for his Séminaire Permanent d’Histoire et de Philosophie du Structuralisme: youtube.com/channel/UC2o-7…

Random musings about media theory seem to get traction around here. Maybe I'll publish my schtick on why people misunderstand Saussure's key intervention, next. The prevalent interpretation is egregiously misleading.

@shannonmattern Congratulations Shannon!

@brownisthecolor Welcome to UC Santa Cruz!

okay, so this will be my last term at chicago. i will soon join (!!) the department of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz, where i’m going to be able to do Black study alongside scholars whose intellectual and political commitments i have always admired.

@bernardionysius @fturner @sandraylk @jonathansterne @manovich @kwissoker @DukePress This looks great Bernard! Do we have to wait until January to read it?

my book is creeping its way into the world. it even has its own website, now! dukeupress.edu/code

@aphid23 @umbut @carlmalamud @SunFoundation @danmUCSC I think Metavid is a great example of how software developed at the university can change the world.
