A discussion with Laura Forlano and Danya Glabau about their new book "Cyborg"
My latest at the Chronicle--on how editors assess yr book's "fit"--is up. I discuss 3 exs of monographs I acquired, trying to draw out portable lessons abt list-building, proposal-writing etc. Hopefully it's helpful for authors & folks interested in editorial work: www.chronicle.com/article/how-...
An acquisitions editor sheds light on how publishers decide if your book is a good match for their lists.
I have been extremely transparent with my grad students about why they can't use AI writing tools in my seminar. It's paternalistic, but it boils down to: I want you to learn durable skills no one can take away from you in my class, like reading and writing complex ideas.
These kinds of arguments are so odd. “The future of education hinges on accepting that there’s no substantive difference between actually knowing how to do something and pretending you know how to do it. To remain relevant, schools must make showing how you pretended to do it central to assessment.”
The essay assessment is only the most obvious casualty of generative AI. Janice Kay, Chris Husbands and Jason Tangen explain why AI should prompt a total overhaul of education strategies
I would much rather princess content that is joyful and about having adventures while wearing a dress than children's books with a political aim. Or like, animals (but then too, you have to avoid the soft eugenics framing of animals books teaching lessons about inclusion)
And the vast majority of this genre are so poorly written that they are nonsensical and sometimes actually difficult to read out loud.
As a scholar of social reproduction and also a toddler parent, it's my professional opinion that new kids books trying to do counter-programming on gender norms for little girls are Bad, Actually: they articulate the norms they are trying to debunk and thereby fail at their task.
Hey, remember MOOCs? Remember "the year of the MOOC?" Remember how UVA's board tried to fire the president because she wasn't sufficiently hyped about MOOCs? Remember how Sebastian Thrun (Udacity) said there would eventually be only 10 higher-ed outlets bc of MOOCs? Just thought I'd ask.
"LLMs must become a core part of the educational experience.... This imperative grows with each new development in text, image, and voice generation — even the potential for AI-driven lessons delivered by simulated celebrities." Uurrgghh. (And what about environmental damage of this proposal?)
