In a world increasingly filled with AI-generated content, AI-moderated content, and AI-influenced work, librarians and educators need practical skills to evaluate quality, integrity, and the human judgment behind digital resources. www.library20.com/evaluating-a...

not to be all it-was-capitalism-all-along abt it but it's almost like no one shld HAVE to create art TO SURVIVE we'd get better art that way, in whatever format ppl choose to create in if the platform or medium the artist chooses is built around monetization, it will stifle all decent art in the end

Finally someone gets it...! Read this vvv

We forget that feedback, like and assessments, has to be DESIGNED according to the model that we have designed everything else with...

In two weeks, on February 3, I will talk about the difference between AI Slop and AI "alloys," or "artifacts." The question "Was this made with AI?" has become ubiquitous—and largely irrelevant. What actually matters is: Was this made well? www.library20.com/evaluating-a... #boodlebox

Just over three hours until the "AI Does Books" webinar! There have been multiple webinars and posts (and social media comments, of course!) about "automating book creation," which just results in more AI slop. This webinar will, hopefully, help people collaborAIte to make AI books the RIGHT way.

Next Tuesday, I will be talking about how "AI Does Books," and one of the main questions (and rightful concerns) people have had about this presentation is how to preserve the human element. This pyramid will help us talk about that. www.library20.com/ai-does-books

Music is one of the most human things imaginable. I want music recommendations from humans who understand how special it is. Even advertising agents at Deutsche Grammaphon would be preferable to an algorithm or AI

Forget Manus, PopAI, ChatGPT. #BoodleBox just released the ability to create #PowerPoint files that you can download. This was one of the things that I was relying on generated code for (which BoodleBox was giving me no problem with, anyway), but this makes it even easier!

I love "The Piece of String." One of his most incisive stories.

Hello Claire, and thank you for writing. I wrote to you via the Witches of Scotland website some time ago and asked if you'd be making a non-wool version of this tartan, as I wanted to purchase it from you but cannot wear wool. I never received a reply, so I bought non-wool fabric elsewhere.

I found this on Reddit of all places. "You all need to stop letting an app decide what music you listen to.

I have been able to do things with #BoodleBox that I have not been able to do with ANY other tool... For 2/3 of the price. I have decided to cancel ALL OTHER AI SUBSCRIPTIONS in favor of this tool. No more ChatGPT, no more Perplexity. Long live #BoodleBox. reedhepler.substack.com/p/introducti...

Today was a monumental day for the pipe organ: the grand-orgue at Notre-Dame de Paris sounded for the first time since the fire in 2019. The four organists at Notre-Dame all improvised on the eight invocations at the organ's debut. Let's break it down: 🧵

I just realized that the 12 Days of Christmas is an excellent example of redundancy (the true love is sending backups of previous gifts in case the previous iterations have been corrupted in some way).

In a strange twist, people are now irritated about religious buildings in DC/Maryland. They're temples. They don't hurt you...

for a long time this was the view of the DC mormon temple approaching westbound on the beltway. sadly the bridge graffiti has been painted over.

The last super moon of the year from Anchorage.

Only a few days until "Copyright and AI"! Come join us and talk about it from a LIBRARIAN's perspective. While I am not a lawyer, I do have experience with copyright, including monitoring external copyright violations and preventing internal copyright violations of others' works.

Today might be a good day, a few days before Advent, to share my Handel: Messiah playlist again. If you would like to see the way it was created, the playlist has a link to my Facebook post about it. open.spotify.com/playlist/2qf...

The fun thing about anti-AI crusading is that you can suddenly be justifiably angry at virtually any field you want, from. educators to the workforce to government, because individuals in almost every field use it. Or, you could be like @stanfordhai.bsky.social and work to make things better.

Google should be way more public about this. I basically have an AI phone screener that I can secretly oversee and control (somewhat).

Hello all! Do you remember the Pedagogical Promptbook? Well, now I am looking for learners of all ages and types to test out the Project-Based Learning custom bot OR the actual prompt in whatever AI tool they wish.

Educators/Librarians: We are responsible to teach students/the public to be critical, literate, and prepared to question and propose, to love and be loved, to BRING THE HUMAN to Human-AI Interactions. Are you earnestly prepared? reedhepler.substack.com/p/the-rise-o...

Welcome to the Poetry Feed

Right after I graduated (May 2022) IU started doing crazy stuff like this... I have never set foot on campus (I was completely online), and yet I am embarrassed by this.

Can you get there reading only recent YA fiction? I don’t know. I don’t think that’ll help you get better at Brontë or Shakespeare or Paul Muldoon. I think a teacher’s job is at least in part to put challenges in the students’ paths. It helps if the teacher enjoys (and gets) the hard stuff too. (/7)

One of the things I wind up telling college students (bear with me) is that although they are fluent readers of English, their reading skills have not stopped improving. If they keep reading things that challenge them, they will be better readers from year to year. Part of what improves is … (1/7)
