I care deeply about my students’ learning, but with all the new technologies available to help them cut corners, I worry that they’re not doing the deep thinking necessary to learn. That’s why I’ve been prompting AI to create lesson plans and assignments for me that will engage my students.

Students are using AI because they want their papers to be perfect. But I don’t care about their final product; I just want them to engage in an intellectually stimulating process. So I’m using AI to ensure I create the perfect lesson plans and assignments.

Because I want students to value the writing process, I had AI generate a series of lesson plans walking them through brainstorming and reflection exercises to demystify writing and make each step manageable. But then my students utilized generative AI to complete all the preliminary exercises and write the final paper.

I guess I just didn’t prompt the AI well enough.

What is says in the title! We’ve raised a little over $1,500 over the last day, from sixteen people, out of our goal of $12,500. This helps us cover the changeover of hegemony from America to China, environmental collapse, internal US fascism, what a better society would look like, Gaza, AI, the coming stock market […]

. Känner du också att du somnar varje gång Mats Knutsson börjar kommentera inrikespolitik i Rapport? I dessa tider — när medierna dränks i politikpoddars tyckmyckentrutade ordbajseri och fullständigt intetsägande ‘analyser’ och kommentarer — har man ju nästan gett upp. Men det finns ljus i mörkret! AVGÅ ALLA är ett program där man inte bara […]

Welcome, neighbors, come on in. There’s plenty of room for everyone, aside from God. He has no place inside this well-ventilated, open-concept embodiment of runaway capitalism.

What you see before you is my 14,000-square-foot testament to taste, triumph, and unrepentant hubris. A five-bed, six-bath new-construction McMansion with a gaping spiritual wound that can never truly heal.

Let’s start in the foyer, which doubles as a waterpark and triples as a shrine to me. The marble floors are hand-cut from an Italian quarry that geologists begged us not to touch. The chandelier? They found it inside a meteor already shaped like that.

I spared no expense. Especially not on humility.

Over here is the living room. I’ve actually never been in here before. Vaulted ceilings that touch the second heaven, twelve Corinthian columns (structurally unnecessary, spiritually confrontational), and a roaring fireplace powered by a small but persistent coal fire deep within the earth. Is it environmentally sound? No. But is it efficient? Not really.

Roughly three months have passed since AI 1.1.0 was released and we are getting ready for the next step in the history of Drupal AI.

This means that we will have an upgrade path before the next RC release, all major features are developed and any known security or critical bug is fixed. As a developer you can trust that the API’s are set.

One important upgrade path is that we are moving out the AI ECA module, to https://www.drupal.org/project/ai_integration_eca so that can develop in a more rapid tempo then the release cycles of the AI module.

As a developer you can trust that the API’s are set.

If nothing unexpected happens, the plan is to have a RC 30th of September and a production release 7th of October.

Thanks to Samuel J Fell at Rhythms Magazine for reviewing 'LIVE at The Couch Sessions': "LIVE at The Couch Sessions" her vocal is a high-point of the record, in places reminiscent of Susan Tedeschi in its delivery, but always very Robinson, whether soaring on the gospel-esque ‘Hold On’, or soft and warm / loud and proud on the [...]
