First #defcon34 reading assignment!

As you may know, the DC34 theme is 'Agency'. Wresting self-determination from the machine.

The story 'The Machine Stops' by E.M. Forster contemplated a situation very like our own all the way back in 1909. One year after the introduction of the Model T.

Read, enjoy and share your thoughts.

@GrueneBundestag - ja: wo ist sie denn, die viel zitierte #wirtschaft skompetenz der #cdu? In Zeiten von Wirtschaftswundern gilt Mann schnell mal als „kompetent“.

STREET ART UTOPIA

Generative AI might finally kill off homework, and it’s about time

I've taught across a range of subjects and year levels for over fifteen years, and I've always been a bit dismissive when it comes to homework.
