A rogue AI enrolls in your online class, then publicly shames you when you remove it. This just happened in a dev forum. Are we ready if it happens to our courses?

"You suspect one of your 'students' in an online class is actually an AI agent. You alert the other students not to interact with their synthetic classmate but the bot calls you out for human gatekeeping and posts a link to a blog post accusing you of discrimination. This precipitates a fervent conversation among your students about the rights of artificial intelligences."

Using well-chosen public sources, i let NotebookLM and Kimi K2.5 generate a presentation on a subject, amazing quality and very few errors. Good inspiration for the real presentation i will make myself. AI is not only creating "slop", we have to really start more research about how we incorporate AI in our work-processes in a responsible way, how we don't become "dumber", maintain skills, learning and human creativity 🤔

I’m at a Celebration of Life in honor of the late President Emeritus James J. Duderstadt.
There’s a lot of emeritus faculty here.

This image shows a formal presentation taking place in Rackham Amphitheater, an elegant auditorium. The room features distinctive curved, tiered seating arranged in a semi-circular pattern, upholstered in green fabric. The architecture is quite striking, with cream-colored walls adorned with decorative trim, including a Greek key pattern border near the ceiling with circular medallions.

At the front of the room, a large screen displays a video of Jim Duderstadt wearing colorful academic robes …

Few know the lengths to which the Trump administration is paving the way -- and the part it's playing

to ensure that AI data centers have the energy they need to shape the future of America and the world

Apparently some universities have started using mostly-AI tought courses. And are surprised students don't apprrciate them fully:
“There are some useful things in the presentation. But it’s like, 5% is useful nuggets, and a lot is repetition. There is some gold in the bottom of this pan. But presumably we could get the gold ourselves, by asking ChatGPT.”

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

Mandleduck from zbd has a presentation on the history of gaming in bitcoin.
Original bitcoin nodes had a half built poker game built in, though removed later.
SatoshiDice was an early betting game, just betting on random numbers from the hash nonce.
7 years ago Mandleduck made saru tobi, an iOS game with bitcoin rewards which was initially accepted but the decision reverted by apple. 1 cent transactions on chain was never going to scale anyway.
Collectable gaming cards on chain were a fashion for a while.
The early things failed in 2018 when transaction fees spiked, and fees became more than gaming rewards could be. Most games moved to ETH, till it to became expensive.
Lightning network is more suitable than on chain transactions but solana and dedicated chains still rule really.
Still today gamers mostly reject bitcoin as a scam and of course app stores don't allow payments outside their own system. So things remain tricky.

I'm really not very good at speaking into a camera, and this is far from an excellent presentation. At the same time, when I was in the throes of severe tinnitus, I longed to find accounts of people who had experienced a type as intense and reactive as mine, yet had learned, to some degree, to live with it. So I offer this spontaneous testimony just in case it helps anyone else…🙏

I'm waiting for the slide where they estimate the much higher cost of all the unmetered parking spaces across the city, and of turning off meters at 6pm and on Sundays. I'm sure that'll definitely be later in this presentation, right?

An SFMTA slide: "Transit Fare Discount Programs. SFMTA provides financial relief for people with low-incomes or experiencing homelessness."

Table of discounts and their estimated cost, totaling $27.4 million in fiscal year 2024 to 2025. The categories are lifeline monthly pass (50% discount), free Muni for youth, free Muni for seniors and people with disabilities, access pass, and Clipper START.
