how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:

-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of

-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."

-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.

We need to embrace the fact that the tumblr userbase is aging. What’s everybody’s favorite kitchen appliance?

my wife is constantly mocking me for how lightly done I like my toast. “your hot bread is done,” she says to me. disgusting

Imagine learning that 3000 years ago you were Amish. Happened to my good friend Rand

so you've got your twelve least favorite coworkers who you would dearly like to see die. fast forward three thousand years of extradimensional prison and you're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the only people you know are still your twelve least favorite coworkers. half of them are career academics.

and only one of you can be the universe's next top model.

I'm still holding out hope that Wheel of Time will give us the Eye of the World prologue as a cold open sometime. They gotta, right? Right?? They're holding onto it until it means way more to viewers because that's what works better in the medium

I hope your favorite book series gets a high budget adaptation by a gay show runner who makes all the queer subtext text. Sounds impossible but it happened TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!! stream the wheel of time

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

I think at a certain point we just need to accept that strong as fuck ice mummy IS the new normal Monday.

Every day my circle discusses clues, capers, leads, whodunit, and general mysteries and conundrums. We work together to maximize case-cracking efficiency.

People on this website will really mock anti-vaxxers and flat earthers for ignoring scientists and getting their alternative facts from facebook, and then turn around and insist they know more history than historians and more archaeology than archaeologists because they read an unsourced tumblr post once
