There's a tendency to write about technological change as an "all of a sudden" occurrence – even if you try to offer some background, some precursors, some concurrent events, or a longer, broader perspective, people still often read "all of a sudden" into any discussion about the arrival of a new

On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order: "Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth."

"(...) I have found that the surest way of seeing the wondrous in something ordinary, something previously underappreciated, is coming to love someone who loves it. As we enter each other’s worlds in love — whatever its shape or species — we double our way of seeing, broaden our way of being, magnify our sense of wonder, and wonder is our best means of loving the world more deeply. When the wonder of birds entered my world, I came awake to the notation of starlings on the street wires, to the house wrens bathing in the dusty parking lot, to the robin serenading dawn in its clear and lovely voice, each trill as perfect as a Bach measure.

Choice is a signature of our species. We choose to live, sometimes we choose our own death, but most of the time we make choices just to prove choice is possible. Above all else, we value the right to choose one’s destiny. The very young and some lucky few may find their days opening one onto another like a set of ornate doors, but most people make an unconscious vow each morning to get through the day’s stresses and labors intact, without becoming overwhelmed or wishing to escape into death. Everybody has thought about suicide, or knows somebody who committed suicide, and then felt “pushed another inch, and it could have been me.” As Emile Zola once said, some mornings you first have to swallow your toad of disgust before you can get on with the day. We choose to live. But suicidal people have tunnel vision—no other choice seems possible. A counselor’s job is to put windows and doors in that tunnel.

It's been another very dark week, hasn't it. Not even Cory Booker's act of elocutionary endurance could shake me out of the gloom.
It's a personal gloom, no doubt – this week marked the five year anniversary of the last time I saw Isaiah. It was early in the pandemic, the

According to a recent survey by Anthology (2023), 60% of students in the US have used AI tools, with 10% reporting weekly use 38% using them monthly. Instead of fearing AI, we should actively explore its potential in the classroom, emphasizing how it can enrich the learning experience.

"(...) Much of the discussion of any new technology relies heavily on this imaginary – it's so clear with all discussions of AI right now – as we’re supposed to overlook what cannot quite be done right now and focus instead on what the tool will surely someday be able to accomplish. No surprise then, much of the commentary by Matter and Space’s co-founders is in the future tense: “what we’re building,” not “what we’ve built.” I do appreciate, I suppose, at least saying you're gesturing towards a new and different future – or, at least this company demonstrates bolder ad copy than the press releases from universities bragging they've signed a contract with a big generative AI player. And yet even here, so much is bound up in a resolute faith that AI will take care of things; it hasn’t yet, but it will. “This is the worst AI you’ll ever use,” AI evangelist Ethan Mollick likes to say – although Cory Doctorow’s insights about software's slide towards “enshittification” should serve to remind us that it’s more likely this is, in fact, the best it’ll ever be.

I've always been deeply uncomfortable with the casual observation that "schools are prisons," even if there are undoubtedly schools that do almost everything in their power to circumscribe the freedom and mobility of their students. This assertion – "schools are prisons" – flattens the many important differences between schools and prisons, obviously

You're creating more than ever, but it weighs nothing. You’re either making in light mode or in heavy mode.
Light mode is fast and iterative, producing work that’s quick to make but just as quick to fade. It’s the mode of rapid experiments, side quests, and prolific posting. Heavy mode is slower, deliberate, and intentional (often hermit mode). It’s the mode of deep work that builds over time and carries lasting weight."
