Okay, on Abbott Elementary I about died with laughter when Ava was reading Leadership Without Easy Answers. Such a deep smart cut but the writers.
It's not the Turing Test, so let's call it the "Greene Test." I'll start trusting Microsoft's AI to do work for me when it consistently says learning styles are a myth.
If you look at just the pre-registered studies on increasing one’s happiness, the evidence looks somewhat different than what is often reported. Cool study! https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-psych-022423-030818

I worry that social media tends to select for only the good things people want to share, thus giving the false impression that everyone else is doing great, when in fact all of us have struggles.

2023 work roundup: 46.3 hrs per week (3 weeks off), 34% of time spent on research, 6% on teaching (I had 2 admin releases and one grant buyout), and 53% of time spent on service.

Vacations are for desserting.

My university has turned on Microsoft Bing Chat Professional and clearly it is trying to flatter me into using it more often.
Our subcommittee finished its full report six days early.
