Here's what I have to say on digital #privacy in 2026
One of my tasks as a professor is checking in on interns.
This means sending an email to their manager.
Previously, I'd receive a message like: "Everything is good!" and that would be it. Perfect. No need to follow up.
Now? 1200-word bullet-point, emoji-filled slop.
Yikes. This is the Vantage #AI data centre in Sterling, Virginia.
Took this video from Reddit, but you can also look it up on YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV4hhj574v0).
It has a "backup" natural gas powered generator that must run all the time to keep up with demand which makes that noise.

Need a few more #educators #teachers and #professors for this survey if you have time
Is that David Attenborough? What a ham...
My wife is in an AI training thing and it is pure dogshit. But, she gets paid for it.
I made it to my early 40s without ever reading or hearing the word "egregore" and in the past month I've seen it at least 5 times in articles or threads.
Watched "The Dinosaurs" (2026) docuseries with my son.
He is 9 and it cracked him up because poor Morgan Freeman said "BUT" so many times.
The entire script is:
"(A) is dangerous but not as dangerous as (B)" or clichés like "but megachompasaurus is not alone" or "but their reign will soon come to an end"
every time there was a pause my son would yell out "BUUUUUT!" only for Freeman to lower his tone and announce "but..."
Not bad overall, but I think Amazing Dinoworld is a better.
Another reason to avoid Zoom
Zoom will now check if you are a human or an AI imposter during video meetings
What's cookin' at #WIRED?
This sounds familiar:
"Predictably, the response from higher education administrators―who are busy signing contracts for institutional LLM subscriptions to show how future-first their thought leadership is―has been to tell instructors that their job is to teach students “how to use AI effectively.”
Most examples of this “effective use” involve students generating an essay with AI and then critiquing it."

Yes. Over-the-top nonsense is what I will pay to see.

I get emails with news from where I grew up. I have some filters so stories that don't mention my hometown to go the bin.
Every Sunday, I might get one or two stories and some are false positives.
Today I had about 10 emails and I recognized the name of someone I went to school with in the title.
She was arrested for financial crimes and human trafficking (wtf!).
That was a twist I wasn't expecting, the last person I knew that got arrested was for siphoning gas!
