As recommended by @thesiswhisperer via #OnTheReg podcast, I’m reading Ethan Mollick’s latest book about AI. Equal parts fascinating and scary as hell.

“…it took five minutes and less than a dollar to create a virtual me delivering a lecture that was entirely written and animated by AI.” - page 42.

Are you ready for this?

I’m looking at you, Higher Education. 👀

laughing to myself listening to the two of you @thesiswhisperer @jasondowns talking about regionalisation and centralisation in recent #OnTheReg episode - my place just announced another big restructure, less than 3 years since last one... sigh

@thesiswhisperer @jasondowns Listening to your ep that includes the discussion about the valorisation of grittiness and not enough about 'quittiness' but I just had to point out that the wisdom of the ages for that was from Kenny Rogers:

"You've got to know when to hold 'em
