tonight, for the first time in a long while i saw on my evening walk the crows flocking, leaving the neighborhood and heading off to the river bottom where they spend the night together. such an amazing, wonderful sight ❀️

i bailed on plans for a gardening store gift certificate. traffic is insane right now. instead went for fancy cookies from the fancy cookie shop and a pricy bottle of bourbon that's both smooth and delicious. i know nothing about gardening, tbh, hence gift certificates. i know lots about fancy drink

how its defined is not nearly so narrow as it should be. that inexperienced end users all too often compel it to produce hodgepodges not results is a huge problem. that AI is sold as something it is not, a massive problem. that govt. officials are corrupt or naive to AI, a massive problem.

the whole plagiarism horror thing is something that seems to plague so many of my colleagues. they worry over students' moral failing.

maybe it's because i don't see myself as parental in any way that the plagiarism thing isn't my concern ... 4/end

... but for me, the problem is my students not developing their critical thinking skills through acts of reading, observing, analyzing, responding and worse, my students surrendering their voices to AI due to fear/embarrasment over their skills at reading, observing, analyzing, responding. 3/

... and a lot of it is found in books, newspapers, magazines and academic/professional journals, a lot of it is posted to the Web, a lot of its is AI accessible. this is fine by me, it's not "mine." it's the "property" of those that paid me. i understand the crisis with AI is junk writing, but 2/

am just now realizing my thinking about how to respond to AI use is very much connected to my long, if minor career as a public writer and ghost write across the arts, humanities, social sciences, and medical and biological sciences. i've been paid to produce tons of text and a lot of it is 1/

❀️ that's Ginger Snap's great hope for you and for everyone. and really, it's not her alone. it's all of hamsterdom and the other nocturnal creatures of the world. the the diurnal creatures of the world do the same for their nocturnal counterparts. it's really only we humans that need to work at it.

Ginger Snap, a Syrian hamster with fur the color of ginger snap cookies, upturned ears, black button eyes, white whiskers, and a pink nose is seen sitting "yoga" style in her habitat amidst a pile of fluffy bedding. She is utterly and entirely adorable.

Ginger Snap's photographer forgot to take snaps while they engaged in playtime on the sofa this evening, so an older and favorite photograph is posted with tonight's reminder not to forget no matter these troubling times, Ginger Snap loves you and wishes you sweet dreams and restful slumbers. ❀️🐹❀️

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

i honestly believe Char also remembered from year to year things like small town streets/parks where we would stop to stretch our legs. place where i liked to stop because of shade trees. this year, driving without her, i am going to miss her so much.
