Can somebody invent an AI that lets me put an image in a Word document, and then lets it just stay in the same place even if I type a single word 5 pages away #theAIweneed

Writing stories about innovation models that suddenly arrived, and changed the game completely. Reducing the time to paint a car from 37 days to 1 hour; switching driving side of the road; Netflix vs Blockbuster; Uber vs Taxis. But my favourite is Hot Dog Eating 1/6

I'm going to have a play with this, because I've been usingPhi-3, and running it locally on my own laptop. It's amazing to me that we can run something so powerful as a Large Language Model entirely on a tiny computer sitting on my desk!

Half a day late means it's fresh as a daisy if you're listening to this in the UK, but too late for your Friday morning commute Down Under #aiineducation #podcast

A test of how seriously your firm is taking AI: when o-1 (& the new Gemini model) came out this week, were there assigned folks who immediately ran the model through your internal, validated, firm-specific benchmarks to see how useful it as? Did you update any plans or goals as a result?

Showing somebody how to create a custom GPT. Ended up with "Clive" - describe a scenario and he'll work out how to talk about in a typically British understated way. Have a go here and chatgpt.com/g/g-XMBYzRwm...

2025 Phrase of the year? "Jump the snark" - that feeling you get moving from X/Twitter to #bluesky. Really, really true for professional communities like #edusky, and controversial topics like #aiineducation, #climatechange

The Economist says AI productivity boost not visible in statistics/across the economy…yet. No surprise as most use is individual, making them more efficient. And then it will be businesses automating existing, not fixing things to be better/more productive www.economist.com/the-world-ah.... 1/3

Got to be the best compliment!

Is this the AI elephant in the education room?Students can use AI to improve their performance on the assessment measures the world education system uses, whilst actually making them worse learners. And employers will see it and start to wonder what value exists in a credential

Yet again Ethan leads AI astray, and all it takes is a few minutes for me to turn an evil output into a 2025 Office Wall Calendar for a leader near you. Will be adding to my Etsy story in time for office Secret Santa (even I'm now wondering if I'm joking!). But if you want the file, let me know

I realise that I use, and think about the output from, AI in quite different ways. If I’m doing a good online course, I never use the AI features. For example Coursera has a chatbot on every page, but I have never used it… 1/6

It actually works! Drop a David Mayer hidden watermark in your assignments #aieducation

Love that I can pin the hashtag feed for an event to my BlueSky feed list. For a few days I’ll be able to keep up with #ascilite2024 with minimal effort

Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut. Hi, I'm Yär, the metal component that disappears every time you take apart and move an IKEA furniture item. If you've moved home with your bed 3x you know that you only have one of these left holding the whole bed together.

I read, think and talk a lot about AI here. And talk about it a lot on the AI in Education podcast, which co-host @dan-bowen.bsky.social and I started in 2019. You can find it in Apple podcasts and Spotify, here on Bluesky at @aiineducation.bsky.social and on the web at aipodcast.education

It's only been two years since ChatGPT was released. AI has been developing since the 1950's, but somehow the last 24 months have moved faster in the minds of students and educators! #aieducation

I’m Gnimëlf, the chocolate tart in the cafe that looks delicious, but turns out to be made from some weird pastry and a yellow substance. You’re not sure if you picked up the actual tart or the cardboard demo one

The Australian University regulator has just issued a toolkit for universities on generative AI, setting the standards for responding to the challenge of #AIineducation. "Gen AI strategies for Australian higher education: Emerging practice" is available here: www.teqsa.gov.au/guides-resou...

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

This will be coming into effect around the time of the election. Every voter who uses social media is going to have a problem that limits their access. Why would you a government try to lose an election? (I agree something needs to change, but regulation is bette than de facto banning every adult)

It's not every day that you get to talk about a Parliamentary Report into AI in Education and look at it through the lens of glitter. But on this week's podcast, Miriam brings the stuff aipodcast.education/ai-study-bud... #aieducation #aiineducation #edusky

I love it when I can fully engage in watching OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) at work. This week Finland's undersea internet cable was cut in two places. And now there's a standoff in international waters between Navies and a mysterious chinese ship. Been following via @auonsson.bsky.social

This week's podcast AI in Education just dropped. if you're new to the podcast, then there's a great back catalogue of case studies, interviews and discussions in there too. And heaps of discussion of the latest research on AI in Education #EduSky #AIeducation #AIinEducation

So, not just AI generated text, but humans have a hard time spotting AI generated artwork. Just slightly better performance than flipping a coin! Fascinating to consider alongside the research that says educators aren't effective human AI detectors #aieducation

Today, I’m attending the Microsoft/Avanade AI hackathon for Public Sector in Sydney. “Hacking for Social Good”. Lots of teams of frontline workers will be hacking away to address wicked problems. Updates to follow… #aihackathon

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

This is great if you don't want AI popping up in your Google search. And adding "Before:2022" excludes web content published after the creation of ChatGPT. So now I've programmed a shortcut key to add "Before:2022 -AI" onto my Google searches

From the AUS Govt Copilot pilot: Although Microsoft 365 Copilot is available in all the apps (Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint), users found most value in Teams and Word. But when we get to Copilot in PowerPoint and Excel it didn't meet most users' expectations #aieducation 1/6

Leon produces some great stuff to help teachers critically adopt AI for good things, and avoid the bad things

“Gritty Gritty Bang Bang” for Gen X; “Hans Snow-Lo” for Gen Y; and “Lord Coldemort” for the Millennials

Researchers found ChatGPT's advice to be more balanced, empathetic, and helpful than that of professional columnists - 3/4 preferred AI responses to human columnists. Implications for educational tasks requiring empathy and emotional intelligence? #aieducation www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Post a pic YOU took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

People are treating AI adoption as a technical/product project. It’s absolutely not. It’s a culture project. I see this again and again

Joined BlueSky yesterday and this plug-in helped me track down 320 people I was following on Twitter

Meanwhile in the world of advertising, AI everything, including your mattress. Also, how huge is that AI chip? Must be an unreleased Nvidia HPU (Huge Processing Unit)

I'm a refugee arriving from X after 15 years there. My interests are tech and AI (especially GenAI), education and change management. I'm co host of the AI in Education podcast and am also a professional in Improv comedy. I use(d) Twitter & LinkedIn to keep up to date with AI
