Here's a fun facepalm Friday article for why AI literacy matters. Save your marriage! www.vice.com/en/article/w...

"AI isn’t sentient. It doesn’t understand coffee. It can’t see guilt in a stain. But it can reflect back whatever fear, suspicion, or fantasy you bring to it."

It was a great pleasure to be on the #HERDSA2025 panel on AI this afternoon. I thought I'd post direct links to the resources I mentioned as good ways to keep up with and make sense of genAI in education. Just a few picks to get you started - there are so many amazing people in this space.

Thanks for calling out the financialised metaphor of teacher productivity being used in this report. Great post

Can't wait for this event, we've got some great speakers and it will be great to meet with third space colleagues from institutions across Perth

great to see CC working on this problem!

I’ve been trying to get this sort of thing happening from different angles in my workplace with mixed success, thanks for articulating the how and why in a coherent package. Very helpful to have something I can point as a rationale in future efforts!

I enjoyed this, Leon! I think you made a good case that they are related.

The question “Just because we can, does that mean we should?” has been central our staff AI literacy and ethics workshops. It’s not just an ethical imperative but also a pragmatic one - and as you say in your article one that everyone, not just staff and students, should be thinking about.

My conclusion? Vibe coding is great for ideating, prototyping and learning about programming and genAI. It's fun and weird and frustrating and creative. But for serious software development, genAI is most useful for coders who know what they are doing.

Has anyone else been playing around with Claude Artifacts? Have you noticed a difference in quality with the new Sonnet 3.7? #AI

No Dispatch this week. I'm working on a bigger post about Claude Artifacts and Simtheory's Create with Code feature.
