I don’t think this should be a controversial opinion but if a student would be failed for using AI in a certain way (e.g. producing a summary of a book), the professor should not use AI that way.

I’m normally very resistant to the iOS beta train, but hearing that iOS 27 tones down the liquid glass design really temps me to try it (as does the statements that MacOS golden gate makes M1 macs seem more performant).

Currently on my fourth Bible college course where celebration of discipline has been required or recommended reading… I don’t hate it.

“I would have written you a shorter letter, but I used AI.” I feel like this is my daily existence at work now.

Krakow Jazz festival is on (we went to the New Orleans style parade last week) and Lublin Jazz festival is about to begin. Perfect time to be in Poland.

It’s quite impressive that Trump has managed to make FIFA sink to a new level of corruption but if anyone could, it’s him.

The strangest thing about AI is that I now catch myself writing “…is not…it’s….” or one of those similar AI cliche’s and I stop myself. And I don’t know if I would have wanted to write that anyway, or if using AI/seeing AI slop has infected my imagination so it made me think of that.

Here’s a really interesting side effect of people using AI at work.

We’ve been planning to update some web pages as they aren’t working. There’s a series of them and it would make sense if we were fairly consistent in how we approach them (especially as it would aid the designers).

A new joiner has been making suggestions and generally brings up the same issues. But, he’s put forward about four different solutions to these problems.

I didn’t notice at first, but when he put forward a set of “quick wins” that didn’t match the solutions he previously provided, and ignored what we were doing for the related project that also impacted this, I realised it might be due to simply prompting an LLM and getting what the LLM saw as quick wins (plus the natural variation in LLM response).

It’s possible that he just isn’t the most thoughtful person but I suspect reliance on LLM is more likely (especially as he produces mockups that are definitely generated by an LLM). But perhaps relaying on an LLM and not noticing these issues is the same as not being the most thoughtful person.

At the park with kids

if this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.
