Brighten your day with some of the finest music open.qobuz.com/album/slaigy...

My thought exactly.

Who would have thought that one day I would quote the Pope? “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth,” From www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Ils n'ont sans doute plus besoin de pub, mais je sens l'irrésistible envie de partager la sortie aujourd'hui de l'entièreté du Vol.II d'Angine de Poitrine. C'est toujours aussi bon anginedepoitrine.bandcamp.com/album/vol-ii

As a research project, I built a needed tool with Claude Code. I though it would be a disaster, but It wasn't. I have some complicated feelings about it.

With only the slightest apology for my language: Who the fuck actually wants these damned data centres?

Y’all know I’ve been a serious skeptic regarding large language model technology in general and of its applications to education in particular. I’m willing to admit where I’ve been mistaken though, and clearly I’ve been mistaken here. I pride myself as an instructor, but I can’t compete with this.

A powerful US spy-tech company linked to genocide in Gaza, ICE deportations, and Trump’s war with Iran is now expanding across Europe into our hospitals, police and data systems. We must expose it and stop its expansion action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-03...

Y'all know about this already, right? And all the comments are correct. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi...

New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

A good summary of my salon in Hollywood with film-makers about the real dangers and benefits of AI (as opposed to the ones in the movies)' Part of the NAS science-entertainment exchange and a really great group to talk with. www.templeton.org/news/what-if...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

En vrai c'est excellent, Angine de Poitrine. Merci @lampole.bsky.social pour la découverte ! Et oui, ça évoque un mardi à 16h30 quand tu es parent...

Full-time academic position in educational sciences at the ULB. The chair is entitled “School, Cultures, Identities, and Relations of Domination” cwfront.ulb.ac.be/vacacad/vaca...

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

I spoke with @manjaselva.bsky.social at @marsdd.bsky.social about why Silicon Valley billionaires think technology is the answer to all of humanity's problems, and why they're wrong. You can listen to our conversation here: solveforx.simplecast.com/episodes/inf...

New video by @techconnectify.bsky.social. I enjoy watching his videos because I like his nerdy exegeses of heat pumps and solar. BUT. Today I want you ALL (!) to watch a particular part of this video that starts at 1:16:35. The link below jumps to that part. Watch it. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

I presented some thoughts on AI and education yesterday at UNamur. Still a work in progress, but I might be starting to develop a rationale for an interesting research proposal. The presentation: nathfriant.github.io/presett-2026/ Many thanks to Educ0num for letting me present at their event!

So, Wikipedia is 25 today, which means I didn't even know it existed when I was in high school. I still remember how it was scorned during my first years at university. It’s still one of the best things the internet has produced!

C'est pas loin de "marron lunettes de Derrick" proposé par @lampole.bsky.social

It makes me sick to still read long studies about the potential benefits of LLMs to education not taking this into account.

This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.

Hello & HAPPY FRIDAY, as promised an open letter by my lovely colleagues and myself. Everybody, feel free to sign this even if you are not NL-based and ‼️ share ‼️ (anonymous signature is poss): Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia openletter.earth/open-letter-...

“(…) sooner will the sun die out than that we will create AGI, and in the mean time we will just be polluting our planet and exploiting un(der)paid labour.”

Hello. Please stop using Spotify. Or at least stop paying for it. I use YouTube on Firefox for android with Ublock Origin and an extension that allows you to listen to YouTube on a locked screen. Works well for me. If you like musicians, go direct to their Bandcamp or website. Thanks!

📣 "Universities are not spokespersons for the AI industry...we need to resist being coopted and corrupted...We need to increase Critical AI Literacy in students, in scientists & in other professionals. This is the role that universities are duty bound to play in times of planetary crises"📣

Congratulations, Thomas!

This is worth reading. Like all institutions, Harvard is imperfect. But today we stood up for what we believe in. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

Envie de devenir notre nouveau/nouvelle collègue? Un poste académique à temps plein en sciences de l'éducation s'ouvre à l'ULB cwfront.ulb.ac.be/greffe/modul... *** Full-time academic job in education at the ULB in Brussels

What a read!

Happy New Year! (my cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social)

Twitter était bien, j'y ai peu écrit mais beaucoup appris, pas mal ri aussi. X promeut lourdement une vision du monde qui ne me correspond pas du tout. J'ai décidé de ne plus y participer d'aucune façon. Sur Bluesky depuis quelques temps déjà, j'espère y écrire plus, j'y apprends déjà beaucoup.
