“If we are to fight against those with untold financial wealth, we will need untold intellectual wealth. We will need tough-minded people; people with stamina, a huge range of knowledge, and an ability to see wide and far enough to understand in real time what is being done to us. Reading for pleasure and delight are vital – but alongside that and even more urgently: reading for power.”

“It risks becoming an iron curtain that comes down between a young person and their potential for thinking, for experiment and conquering frustration, for stamina and for invention –and thereby, between the young people and their freedom”

Given unfettered economical access to the means for distributing information, varied private and public patterns of mediating learning can continue to evolve with changing preferences under whatever guidance advancing knowledge of learning can provide. Otherwise, talk of technology helping learning in a democratic society will be academic in the most pejorative sense of the word.

What's one skill you believe everyone should learn before entering the real world?

Financial literacy?
Communication?
AI?
Critical thinking?
Problem-solving?

There are no wrong answers. Let's build a useful list together. 👇

Released a new track on #subvertfm - it's an ill-advised attempt to make the #folk classic Constant Billy into a #hyperpop song (#hyperfolk!?)

It's a pretty tough ask when I'm unwilling to commit to a paid version of #ableton so I'm working with 8 tracks, limited sounds, and no idea what I'm doing, but I learned SO much and I'm really having fun with this new hobby.

The song genuinely brings me so much joy to listen to, which is what's important 😊

A longer video (5 minutes) of my testing the AI Component of my #Moodle Reportsources plugin. It uses the current database schema and prompt to create sql statements.

It is accessing a local install of Ollama on a 12GB VRAM Nvidia 3060 with the Qwen3.1:8b model.

The failures are linked to the Best Match 25 algorithm which can be switched to full schema if you have more VRAM (16 GB should do it).

Okay, I am learning how to check strings, for certain words and if certain words are not there! Python is really fast and fun for this kind of stuff, way faster than C. Love this for me, even looping text is faster in Python. Some of the most human/computer readable shit ever!

Then we got the ChatGPT rollout. I hung on for two more years after that, and I was done. I was failing more kids than I was passing, whether it be for cheating or just not doing anything. Admin was done with me, too, on that count.

I'm reading Melanie Challenger's  Alive: The Hidden Intelligence of the Living World, in which she proposes an intelligence without brains. I am afraid we are turning into a species of brains without intelligence.

Profs will argue this, but it's true: I see it as it unfolded in real time in my journal.

Once we came back 'after' COVID, when I asked them what their learning goals were for the course, they Googled it. What they submitted didn't even make sense in context. Multiple students would plagiarize from a list of questions you could ask on a first date to 'psych out' your new acquaintance. They were no longer even motivated to pretend they were learning.
