7am PDT / 10am EDT tomorrow (16th), some interesting conversations going down that we'll have the first part of and then continue in beautiful Vienna in December. #OpenBadges #OpenRecognition

One goal of our hackathon was to ideate creative solutions to improve OSMT. Congratulations to @ottonomy and the Youni Team on delivering solutions that connect published RSDs to other platforms, extending their use!

WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open! Our board voted to rescind both layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation—and you were made it possible! #TexasNeedsAnObserver! texasobserver.org/texas-observer…

@SenorG Yeah, it's weird to come across somebody randomly saying, "my grandmother doesn't like the ferris wheel" all of a sudden.

What’s the most annoying thing in the world and why is it me practicing Duolingo without headphones?

@KATUNews hey this is bad journalism. When there are just cops pretending to be sex workers, there is no sex trafficking, just cops pretending to be sex workers. Could you issue a correction? katu.com/news/local/cen…

“As tech giants reach terminal enshittification, hollowed out to the point where they are barely able to keep their end-users or business customers locked in, the capital classes are ready for the final rug-pull, where all the value is…” — @doctorow link.medium.com/hmO5kroLlyb

Absolutely unreal.

Is there a really cool library leader in my network who wants to move to my pretty cool small city and lead a really cool library, recreation and cultural services department? governmentjobs.com/careers/eugene…

@duolingo your new learning pathway, since December or so, is messed up. It was asking all about birthdays using ordinal numbers during the adverbs chapter, and now it's all about making plans when it's supposed to be numbers.

@timothyfcook Is a chatbot more or less likely than a human to be able to correctly predict a four factor fair use analysis?

So that's 1.1 billion worth of stock buybacks for those keeping track at home. So how much did those ~200 employees cost per year? 60 million. @digitalocean could have funded the affected people for 20 years but instead chose to buy back stock to make the investors richer

nytimes.com/2023/02/16/sty… Ok, hanging out is great. Add in "messing around" and "geeking out", and you've got pretty much everything you need.

It's definitely a good idea to get a personal sense for what ChatGPT is good at, and where it falls over, as it applies to your own disciplines, like @dthickey did here. It's not just "mindless" assignments where ChatGPT can get a student 80% of the way there.

@MichaelWaltrip1 Something was dropped, that's for sure. I'm glad we both agree there is a comprehension issue here, I guess. 😂

@ottonomy Congresswoman Luna did drop the hammer on Yoel Roth. I told you to please pay attention.

Fascinating how after years of “debate me!!!” cries, the moment Republicans won control of committee debates and hearings, they flopped spectacularly. They controlled the topic, time, witnesses, named their “star” members, and STILL failed. What’s going to be their excuse now?

@Limarikal I haven't seen anything other than did:web or did:key so far in products that suggest they're ready for interop testing. That isn't quite "production", but it's been interesting to observe so far.

Does anyone have a list of DIDs used in production?

@MichaelWaltrip1 Eh, sorry for the attack. :) I was actually referring to this video twitter.com/Parabellum2021… where a bunch of people were excitedly cheering on Rep Luna in the same hearing with a complete misunderstanding of the nature of the communication between the Biden campaign and Twitter.

@ottonomy @WWMisleader @AOC The attack was on me personally. Please pay attention.

@MichaelWaltrip1 @WWMisleader @AOC Actually, the attack was that ya'll clearly have no idea what JIRA is or why it doesn't make any sense at all to suggest that big tech and government would use it as a communications platform, when you *already had a screenshot of the email that was the actual communication*.

@WWMisleader @ottonomy @AOC

@sbuckshum @timbocop A one paragraph reflection on the value and challenge of using AI tools to augment in a particular task would probably yield some interesting insights. In any case, keep it simple, for the sake of instructor/grader and student would be my instinct.

@timbocop Scaffolding Critical Reflection are my middle names 😉 I’d see analytics as augmenting not automating (IA not AI). Each approach brings its own insights and blindspots

Putting out a call to collate ideas on how can students be asked to *evidence* (not merely declare) their use of ChatGPT in *practical* ways? Practical means for both the student, and the academic grading it. Ideas in principle welcomed. Too soon to have any evidence?
