from TechCrunch: OpenAI says it's fixed ChatGPT em dash problem. OpenAI says users can now personalize ChatGPT to stop using the em dash in its output.

A wheel-like visualization of bird feathers colored from wikipedia descriptions

It took me about three months to get here but...

Here's a 🪶 for (nearly) every species of bird, with colors extracted from wikipedia descriptions.

10,151 species.

First day of school!

I’m taking a metal working and forging class at Chicago Industrial Arts & Design Center.

If anyone is looking for a supercut of when pizzas appear in film and TV then Professor Pizza in Chicago has got you covered. Eat pizza while watching pizza!

At the health club today I overheard a conversation about how asteroid 2025 PY1.

One is convinced that it contains a mothership that is coming to save us and the government shutdown is planned to keep NASA from releasing photos of it.

I need to spend more time online.

AI would advance even if OpenAI disappeared. AI really actually does powerful things that will transform a lot of how we live and work even if AI did not advance further. The way to influence the future is not to pretend that AI is going to go away, but push for it to be used well & mitigate harms.

I don't just talk about AI. I show you how to make it work for your students and your real classroom challenges.

If you're ready to move beyond surface-level AI adoption, I provide keynotes, workshops, and customized training bridging the gap between AI hype and practical, ethical implementation.

What educators tell me after my sessions:

"This was my most favorite faculty meeting ever!"

"This gave me new ideas to consider about the problem behind student AI use, not just the symptom"

"This was the most interesting AI training I've been a part of!"

That's why my approach is different. I teach educators to embrace AI through resistance—to understand its limitations, recognize its biases, and strategically prompt for more inclusive, equitable outcomes.

After grading hundreds, if not thousands, of AI-generated student submissions and decades working with marginalized student populations, I've learned something crucial: The default version of AI doesn't work for everyone. In fact, it can actively harm students if we don't know how to redirect it.

Here's what most AI training gets wrong: They focus on the tools. The prompts. The "120 must-use AI applications." But they skip the most critical question... What happens when we put biased technology in front of our most vulnerable learners?

"I didn't realize just how biased AI is! That was very eye-opening."

This comment came from an educator after one of my recent sessions. It's exactly why I do this work.

LinkedIn comment section on a post. Jon Fila: Getting AI replies in this post seems fitting for something I'm currently working on. Reply 1: your take on implementation timelines is interesting. i'm curious how much the reality on the ground has shifted from what we expected back in 2022? Reply 2: Jon Fila, that sounds fantastic. Excited to glean insights on how AI is reshaping education. Keep rocking, everyone.

LinkedIn: Now with free AI replies!

I'm sure this won't lead to an increase in AI psychosis.

Humans on Twitter Are Starting to Behave an Awful Lot Like Bots Do Thanks to social media, human communications are changing in a way that makes us easier to mimic.

I've been talking about this with others. Humans are so malleable that as they consume more and more AI content, they will adjust to that and sound more and more like LLM than the other way around. This has been happening since 2018!
