I wrote this in a discussion where someone was posting anti-ebike stuff:
“I’m a cyclist who switched to an ebike last year due to health issues. As a bonus it also allowed me to bike to work. I ride as courteously as I did on my acoustic, maybe more so. It’s about the rider, their experience, and the respect they show others, more than it is the bike.”
This seems like it’s shaping up to be a rough summer for responsible ebike riders who read the comments.

Just thinking about the political discussion going on here these days... Seems to me we need better labels. 'Right' in English has the unfortunate connotation of 'correct', and 'Left' the connotation (but perhaps only among the better read) of 'sinister'... I think new terms without that baggage are required. I propose that the Left<->Right spectrum be replaced by the Nobel<->Ignoble spectrum, which is more objective accurate in any case.
“… smart glasses are becoming slimmer, less noticeable […], raising concerns not only about exam integrity, but also about broader privacy risks.”
Maybe I missed it, but so far I haven’t seen much discussion of the risks posed by #smartglasses in academic settings in particular, for both students and instructors.

Whenever I use an #LLM it really annoys me it's offering multiple choices. So it puts the burden of checking and filtering out invalid responses back on me. It's practically impossible to follow a chain of thought in a conversation. Why did they call it a chat? Probably because it will always stay on the surface of things and never turn into a thoughtful discussion.

When, in 2024, Chinese scientists reported developing an artificial-intelligence tool to design conotoxins, it raised eyebrows in some quarters.

In other words, we as a campus community have an active debate about which debates are even worth having — and we have room to exercise judgement about which voices we as a community choose to amplify.
Amplifying all voices is not a route to free society; it’s a route to total noise. Flooding the zone is just as effective a means of censorship as silencing all opposition. As people trying to foster useful discussion, we have an obligation to choose choose wisely our topics of discussion and the voices we elevate.
