On Substack, I wrote about academic integrity and writing collaboratively with AI. But, more importantly, I featured another AI image designed by my kids. It kinda makes me think about collaborative writing in the landscape of AI. annettevee.substack.com/p/writing-co...

In my most recent post for Norton’s Substack, I outline a few ways to approach a conversation with a student who may have overused AI in your class. Ideally, it’s a conversation about writing process. aiandhowweteach.substack.com/p/what-about...

Altman: I regret my relationship with technology. Ive: I'm responsible for the anxiety and distractions from seamless technology I designed. Altman: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?? Altman & Ive: LET'S TEAM UP TO BUILD SEAMLESS AI TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BENEFIT ALL OF HUMANITY!!

Remember that splashy Nov 2024 AI paper that found that AI improved innovation in materials science? Turns out it was a fraud! I wrote about how we need to "expect AI research to be messy," with a hat tip to Ben Shindel's fascinating post breaking down the problems with the paper. Links in comments.

"the freedom to speak becomes meaningless when disconnected from the possibility of being heard". This is a heartbreaking piece from @alondra.bsky.social on the regression of scientific progress and why she's resigning from the NSF and Library of Congress. time.com/7285045/resi...

I am looking to buy magnets for my son's science fair experiment and I just encountered this poor magnet company that is documenting all the ways the tariffs are screwing it over

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a week ago, the CSU closed 6 departments (among them, philosophy, women's and gender studies, and economics) and fired 46 tenure-line faculty at Sonoma State. One of those faculty studies AI ethics. They fired the AI ethics professor. Then, this.

When her marriage hits the rocks, an Ivy League professor, her playwright husband, and her Broadway legend mother-in-law/best friend set out to rescue their imploding family by trying to make a hit musical despite the spectacular failure of their latest collaboration. #YouDeservepIt #Q #S #WF #A

Instead of writing that "I enjoyed reading...." a portfolio, I accidentally typed "I enjoy dreading..." and dammit if that doesn't sum up the way I approach peer review deadlines...
