I love open education, #OpenBadges, and free culture. I usually hang out on sites trying to build inclusivity, so I might not be very active here anymore.

WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open!
Our board voted to rescind both layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation—and you were made it possible! #TexasNeedsAnObserver! texasobserver.org/texas-obse…

“As tech giants reach terminal enshittification, hollowed out to the point where they are barely able to keep their end-users or business customers locked in, the capital classes are ready for the final rug-pull, where all the value is…” — @doctorow link.medium.com/hmO5kroLlyb

So that's 1.1 billion worth of stock buybacks for those keeping track at home.
So how much did those ~200 employees cost per year?
60 million.
@digitalocean could have funded the affected people for 20 years but instead chose to buy back stock to make the investors richer

It's definitely a good idea to get a personal sense for what ChatGPT is good at, and where it falls over, as it applies to your own disciplines, like @dthickey did here. It's not just "mindless" assignments where ChatGPT can get a student 80% of the way there.

Fascinating how after years of “debate me!!!” cries, the moment Republicans won control of committee debates and hearings, they flopped spectacularly.
They controlled the topic, time, witnesses, named their “star” members, and STILL failed. What’s going to be their excuse now?

blog.weareopen.coop/i-got-99… What does open recognition look like adopted as an ongoing workplace practice? Recognition is not something that is targeted at enabling transitions between communities, it can help us develop and honor autonomy, mastery and purpose every day.

The supply side platforms could be easily built. We have the tech to digitally sign licenses attached to works for submission. We can do it in a decentralized way to connect and pay artists through diverse creator platforms. For instance.

Hey @OpenAI! Is anyone on your team working to create a training dataset where artists can opt-in & get paid for their work every time the AI's output incorporates their style/work? Is there any particular reason why this won't work? Maybe something like a royalty model?

I’m seeing some discouraging things around ChatGPT:
1.Schools blocking it
2. New apps promising to determine “cheating using ChatGPT
Can we move past surveillance and rethink what school means in an age of AI?
