We appreciate storytellers like Kathryn Bigelow and the House of Dynamite team for spotlighting today’s urgent nuclear threats. For the first time in 40 years, the number of nuclear weapons in the world may go up, not down. It doesn’t have to be this way though, change is possible. #AHouseOfDynamite

My thread-ception (thread-in-a-thread) response to @gbrumfiel.bsky.social’s take on #AHouseOfDynamite Thank you, Kathryn, Noah, and @thebulletin.org. thebulletin.org/2025/10/a-co... (Contains spoilers).

MIT study: 95% of GenAI implementations fail because they try to eliminate friction. The successful 5%? They design FOR it. When integration is hard, when workflows clash, when people resist—that’s where learning happens. Blog: www.smart-knowledge-systems.com/blog/friction

Despite $30–40B invested, 95% of GenAI pilots deliver no ROI. Fortune The real barrier isn’t model quality — it’s the learning gap. Systems that don’t adapt, remember, or integrate stay stuck. Crossing the #GenAIDivide = building knowledge systems, not just tools.

I was playing @nytgames.bsky.social’s Tiles today, and realized it was a perfect example of combinatorial object construction and how it relates to orthography. Last month, D. Share published the combinatorial model in Reading Research Quarterly, in which he said …

Umm... I guess I should have checked RRQ's preprint. Literally the day before I post this David Share publishes "The Reading Tree," which covers a significant portion of my model.

2025 goal—I’m going to publish this year in Reading Research Quarterly. Tentative title: Social Objects and Perceptual Symbols: A Sociocognitive Model of Reading in Perceptual Space

Since 1992, when I was 9, we’ve seen no help for the 1/3 students who struggle to comprehend basic written texts. Time to rethink I’m researching an emergent-reader practice, at odds with all SoR legislation yet supported by a broad foundation of peer-reviewed sicence. SoR is too dogmatic. #EduSky

An after-product of my work this semester, in the first course of a PhD program in Literacy that UAlbany kindly let me enroll in before being accepted into the program. My final paper was on sociocognitive models of literacy and AI’s ability to navigate meaning, but mostly about young early readers.

We’re sitting at the kitchen table talking with our children. My wife, enamored by our toddler’s kid-speak, pulls out her phone to capture it on video. My wife asks, “who are you going to be for Halloween?” “Ay-yo,” our daughter replies. “Ay-yol?” “No, Ay–yol,” she insists …
