  • Jun 05, 2026 This document (50 page PDF) reads a lot like the European strategy just released, which isn't really surprising. The three major pillars are trust, opportunity, and sovereignty, and of those the elements that interest me the most are "shared prosperity" and "benefit from AI". It remains an open question how equitably distributed […]
  • Ricard Solé, et al., arXiv, Jun 05, 2026 This is an interesting paper with an ambitious aim, as described in the abstract: "Within this framework, cognition is treated as a graded capacity to sense, process, and act upon information, allowing systems as diverse as cells, brains, artificial agents, and human–AI collectives to be analyzed within […]
  • GitHub, Jun 05, 2026 This is pretty funny. You may have heard the story about a restaurant AI customer support chatbot that people could use to write computer programs. This takes the idea a step futher. "Chipotle's customer support chatbot 'Pepper' went mega-viral after users discovered it could solve LeetCode problems, write Python, reverse linked lists […]
  • European.Social, Jun 05, 2026 What tells me I'm on the right track with CList? Initiatives like this. The proponents plan to build on federated social software and to include features such as bridging from service to service, distributed identity, and multiprotocol integration. I've already developed these in my proof of concept so I know it's […]
  • Abi Awomosu, How Not to Use AI, Jun 05, 2026 This is a long article, and ther title is a bit misleading, but it's entertaining, and contains elements of truth. I wouldn't exactly buy into the world view, but I know any number of people who would. It's based on comparing what AI does with […]

  • One reason I haven’t commented on the Canvas hack yet is that I swore off writing about LMS news years ago. But this story isn’t really about Canvas or LMSs. It’s about the fact that education, through educational technology, is under attack by sophisticated cybercriminals. They started with hospitals some time ago. Now they’re coming […]
  • I wrote "Dammit, the LMS" in 2014. The diagnosis still holds. What's changed is that I now work at the place that's structurally positioned to do something about it — and AI is forcing the conversation EdTech has been postponing for two decades. Some thoughts ahead of 1EdTech's Learning Impact conference.
  • Claude Opus and I discuss the myths and possibilities about how AIs work, focusing on my paper, "Distinctions Worth Preserving".
  • An economy is based on how we decide to value something. "Skills" as items of value in an economy do not have stable value or even a stable definition. We can have a skills economy. We just need to accept that the definition and value of a skill in an economy comes from agreement among […]
  • I haven't been writing much in the past two years because I've been going back to school, after a fashion. I've been trying to apply everything I've learned in the cognitive sciences to what I'm learning about AI. This post finally shares my passion project.
