@DeepThoth I actually just listened to a podcast where the speaker suggested that we start writing stories about friendly AIs that have happy endings for that very reason.
English
For those crafting various stories about how AI might kill us all, you're providing training examples.
Yet, we could grade the models on whether *they* can write such tales in a convincing way. For if they keep losing the plot, they're not a threat

@DeepThoth A grad school professor of mine asks a similar question...
Even the most liberal, sensitive, and thoughtful discussions of school shootings fail or refuse to ask a simple question, “What is it about school and schooling that makes them the setting for such senseless violence?”
English
What if school shootings aren't a gun problem, but a school problem?
Many people, even as adults, occasionally have a nightmare involving their time at school. Perhaps the shootings are a trauma response and we should stop the trauma?

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
Still not sure what I think about X these days. It used to be a fun place to hang out. Now, not so much.

I spent the weekend playing with ChatGPT, MidJourney, and other AI tools… and by combining all of them, published a children’s book co-written and illustrated by AI!
Here’s how! 🧵

Do you ever think about your interactions as if you were a billiard ball bouncing through life?
English
@wlmoseley One of my favorite things here is going out to the monthly Friday night art walk and supporting local artists. I'm doing all my holiday shopping the same way. Feels good too. #shoplocal
English
In my younger years I didn’t appreciate it enough, but lately I am realizing how much I love interacting with and supporting small business owners in the community. Their energy is life-giving and their work enriches our city.
English
@DeepThoth They were probably lost before, you just didn't realize it 🤷🏼
English
@DeepThoth I hadn't considered that before (intersections,). Thanks for the idea.
English
The only way to stand out today is to specialize.
Remember each intersection between fields is a place to specialize. The crossover points scale as n^2 where n=number of fields.

@DeepThoth @alfiekohn was a guest speaker at #CMK22 today. Look him up. He spoke to this in context of education today. Competition, rewards, grades, and homework are killing the joy of learning. I imagine this all applies to workplace motivation and productivity as well.

What have you done for us lately?
The curse of always having to produce?
Or an opportunity for new entrants?

Keep seeing signs for @bucees on my way to #CMK22 but would add an hour onto the drive. What would @garystager do?
English
In the past two weeks, I've been in Melbourne, Sydney, Los Angeles, and then drove across the country to Western Carolina. Right now, I'm at #cmk22 in #Chattanooga and there's no place I'd rather be! Thanks @garystager & @smartinez (& crew) for bringing us all together 🥰

@DeepThoth What adventure are you on? I just got back from 6 weeks in Australia 🦘🦘
English
That's it! I'm leaving America and isolating myself from The Internet.
(I'll be back Monday)

@DeepThoth Truth. Happy trip around the sun! Hope our paths cross again soon 🥳🎂🎈🎉🍨🌞

@alfiekohn After 25 years as a college professor, I can definitely agree that curiosity is the number one predictor of success, followed by perseverance. GPA is almost irrelevant. The "smartest" students are often lazy & not used to thinking creatively. It's sad, really.
English
Big study: curiosity is an important predictor of academic achievement across the board but particularly for low-income kids: is.gd/zLBk8u. Painfully ironic given the curiosity-killing practices (scripted direct instruction, tight control, etc) that such kids often get

.@elonmusk wants to buy Twitter. The former CEO of Reddit has some thoughts about that. Excellent discussion about free speech, censorship, and the value of making a contribution to humanity. Long, but worth the read so follow it through to the end. #vvccis101

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter. So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out) (long 🧵)
