Who is Decarl? Uncharles is a character from an Adrian Tchaikovsky book. He’s a butler robot who kills his master and denies his own sentience. Super charmer.

Y’all need to name your vacuum. Uncharles does a great job at my house.

Maybe get an intercom

As a public school teacher, part of our training on AI is to use it in our classrooms and to talk about using it, like you would in making a citation.

I do use it to construct rote tasks, especially materials for vocabulary practice which are great but aren’t worth my energy to spend much time on. I always tell the kids when I’ve used AI to create sentences, etc. I think it’s great for them to see usage modelled responsibly.

It would be a disadvantage to deny kids usage altogether, and prompting AI should be explicitly taught as a skill set. Cheating is definitely an issue, but more and more teachers are moving away from rampant computer usage in class and thinking actively about how to forestall such cheating.

I’m GPS free and greatly enjoy having to figure out where I’m going before I leave the house. What are some other examples of your de-digitzed life?

My dad used to be part of a pre-internet Kate Bush mailing list… In which he would get and send real mail! To send messages, you would make however many copies and mail them to one person who had everyone else’s addresses. I continue to think this is super cool and creative.

This is what I scrolled down for. Thank you.

What the absolute fuck? This makes me so angry.

Wasn’t it called the mantaur?
