So hard to know if we are at the bottom of an exponential curve of AI development or right near the plateau. For higher education assessment I think it's prudent to plan for both realities.

Superstar contract cheating researcher Thomas Lancaster joins academic advisory board for Chegg, a company he says 'can and is used for contract cheating'. Would love to hear your reasons for joining them Thomas, as on face value it seems like a strange move investor.chegg.com/Press-Releases…

I like this and I like Leon Furze's work in general. However I'd caution that expressing it in graded levels like this positions the underlying ideas a student uses in an assessment as less important to validity than the expression of those ideas. That's not always the case.

If I had a Q&A bingo card for the questions/comments made after my talks, this would be the middle square.

Ha, I never thought about the extra-institutional file-sharing as like Kazaa or Napster for uni...😱

Now considering how this is a side effect of the connected world we live in.

Tracey and I didn't always see eye to eye (that's an understatement!) but I always admired her advocacy of academic integrity and the way she opened up the field for debate. Much of where we are at is thanks to her efforts.

Come laugh about the AI employment-pocalypse with Franz Strich and my cast of hilarious improvisers. Friday 8:15pm at The Improv Conspiracy Theatre in Melbourne. Be there and be square.

Keen to read this.

I have a bunch of convoluted tech in place to avoid being on standby. Blocking apps, screen time restrictions, browser plugins, the works. But even with those, I sneak in a bit of email on the weekend and some hot takes on academic Twitter in the evenings.

This ad is a great way to showcase the path we are heading towards if we continue to mindlessly adopt the use of AI for all tasks. The future university could be a nothing university if we aren't careful. And our time could be spent as conduits for AI.
