welcome to mastodon, newbies. here's an inscrutable list of things you can't talk about here, like "search" or "defederation is a nuclear option". there's also countless other social norms and no we won't tell you about them, people will just get really mad and harass you in the DMs if you don't put a CW on your food or if you have the audacity to complain the UX isn't flawless.

enjoy your stay

It is SUCH a weird time to be a #writing professor whose background is actually in #ComputationalLinguistics and #CognitiveScience.

SO much being written about LLMs and what they mean for first-year composition and I end up doing a lot of explaining/debunking with colleagues, but they’re not wrong to worry. The collision of these LLMs and students whose pandemic high school years left them underprepared for college is…creating a really complicated environment for these #pedagogy conversations.
