Much like the weather, today could go either way. But either by work or by luck, we’ll get there together.

My wee tantrum over, I’ve deleted my outrage at how universities are attacking the very foundations of research and critical thinking (the thing that distinguishes us from rocks).

I’m now having a cup of tea in front of a fire in a lovely pub in Huonville.

I’m still right though.

β€œIt is very likely that universities not actively using AI will risk having less competitive researchers.”

No. Research undertaken without AI will be competitive due to its assurance of integrity.

Three chatty kookaburras on the roof. That must be good.

I mean, one pooped on me. Less good.

But I’m going with the good overall. Trying to be positive.

Counterpoint to the AHA Committee: it is NOT OUR JOB TO TEACH AI literacy. It is our job to teach students history, critical thinking; how to interrogate and analyse sources, primary and secondary; how to write and weave historical narratives; how to communicate history to the public and more.

Once a childhood favourite of mine; now a favourite of B. I was sorry to hear that Allan Ahlberg has passed.

A fine legacy.

We were saddened to learn of the death of Allan Ahlberg, one of our much-loved and respected Fellows.

He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy and has earned a place in the hearts of millions of families.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

You’re no longer welcome to join Quizteama Rossetti. I suspect my knowledge of music far worse.

Classical music I can do. Music theory, fine. Anything vaguely popular after 1999? Nope.

First two classes of SM2 down. It’s not my unit, and geared around creative coding.

I’m about 5 minutes ahead of 60% of them, and way behind the other 40%.

It’s interesting to be in a laboratory-type classroom where I, the instructor, is learning alongside them as we explore this.

Growing up in the 90s UK - known for its delicacies & high nutritional values - I used to love Smith’s Salt & Shake Crisps. Plain unsalted crisps with individual blue packets of salt that you would add β€˜to taste’. Probably discontinued now
