It's wonderful that computer scientists and engineers are looking into applying AI in education, but educational technology cannot be discussed without genuine engagement with pedagogy/education theory. AI can be a great tool for transferring information but our teachers and schools do much more beyond that. Books are also an efficient way of putting knowledge into our brains, but you don't see educators losing their jobs to paperbacks.

If I could make the rules, I would ban all #job postings that advertise a competitive salary without specifying what exactly it’s competing with.

A race to the bottom is, sadly, still a competition.

I’ve tried listening to Destroyer’s new #album and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. Some songs are bangers, but most seem immensely skippable.

The upside is that I ended up playing Kaputt almost on repeat over the last few weeks. If you’re not doing the same, this is a good time to join me!

Seriously, what a timeless piece of #music.
