Now that my children are older, I've returned to school to complete a degree. I'm studying Computer Science with a focus on engineering for Data Science. The direction of my studies are in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, notably AGI.
Otherwise and subsequently, my interests are ridiculously broad. Rather, there isn't a subject I can't find interesting. Naturally curious, I deeply enjoy philosophy, the humanities, the arts, technology, history, nature, physics, and a wide range of nonsense that I may not believe (personally) but enjoy indulging.

Out of the corner of my eye I read the prompt right here as "Why are you mad?" instead of, "What's on your mind?" 😂
Are you on more than one server? I just found out about me.dm and I'm a big Medium user. But I like my account here. Do you ever have 2?
@LouisIngenthron Thanks for your feedback and thanks for the insights. What we teach students to rely on certainly is a great (and deeper) question, especially with technology moving so fast and companies even being more tool dependent these days.
@tonic Thanks for your feedback. I'll certainly give that some thought. There are some really fascinating and powerful apps out there both paid and free, and also some that are more trouble than useful entirely.

@omi that’s just an idea for teaching…

@omi interesting, i havent digested everything yet, but my hot take is that it would eventually be good to restrict which apps are used aswell , for various reasons , something to think about for next year perhaps 🙂

@omi There's a reason graphing calculators are allowed in certain math courses, but not in others (or at least I hope there is).
I'd think the same would roughly apply to AI tools.
They should be verboten in english/writing classes, but generally acceptable elsewhere.
We all know how badly the AIs are about fudging facts, so any students that rely on them in their entirety are sure to slip up quickly.
The real question is, should non-English courses be grading on the quality of the English in the papers they assign? Because if they do, then ChatGPT can provide an unfair advantage to students who use it (it's pretty good at mimicking good structure for an essay, and extremely helpful for ESL students). So, that type of grading may need a re-think for the modern times if AIs are allowed to be used as a tool for writing.
I suppose another good question is: Do you want to teach the kids to rely on these tools, or to rely on themselves?
There's a lot of benefit to the latter, but professional adults rely on calculators with no shame on a daily basis, so 🤷♂️
@DrFunkySpoon Fascinating. What class is this that you're taking?
So I'm writing a paper about how I think my #college should handle #AI policy concerning
#OpenAI #ChatGPT #dalle2 #jasperai #novelai #grammerly
#stablediffusion #midjourney
and similar gen models.
What do you think a school policy should be?
One of my professors included in her syllabus a rule that AI is okay to use BUT it must be cited, along with the prompt, result, what was learned, and output must be reworked/paraphrased/summarized but cannot be used "as is" and no quoting AI, because AI cannot author (and we don't know the training sources)
What are your thoughts on this? And what are your thoughts on what a school policy should be? Many schools are trying to block the models.

@omi I used your idea today in class! I didn't have layers but I made playdough balls in three different colours, each with a dinosaur inside. Didn't have time to let them dry, but the kids loved making dinosaur tracks and impressions afterwards in the soft dough.
They took their excavated dino to a station to find a matching picture, and learn their dinosaur's name. Next they put their dino picture on a chart in the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous row, depending on the colour of the dough! It was great fun!
@dtpolet Thats awesome!
Are there any popular domains you follow?
@Floyd Thanks for the clarification.
@freemo Is it the same quoto login info or does one create a separate account?
@jon85p Thanks! Have added to my list!
@jon85p Where is this quote from? That's fascinating and support for flash card based learning methods.

@bikejourno how do you create a blocklist?
