new paragraph in ye olde syllabus:

Plagiarism furthermore includes the use of ChatGPT, Bing, Bard, and any other LLM text generator. They are not only prone to factual errors, but they spew joyless paragraphs bereft of real insight, poetry, motivation, or human investment. Your hard-earned insights, even when half-formed or deployed with bad grammar, are of more interest to me (and to you) than some AI's sterile junk.

Threads is literally unusable. There's no way to see only the posts from your friends. It's like a terrible TV channel you can never change.

Pretty sure that that upshot of the 2023 Social Media wars is that greedy jerks have killed the whole darn enterprise of connecting with people.

Where can I learn the history of present-tense historicizing?

By this I mean gestures (by scholars, journalists, artists, victors, victims) toward the surrounding world that ask or answer, "How will capital-H History view this moment?"

When has that been more or less of a thing? Why? With what hope? With what results?

And the followup:

Am I correct in perceiving a modern feeling that we move too fast and dumb for History's paltry justice to be meaningful, now or in some eventual future?

Why are you SO SLOW?

Why do your pictures not load?

Why is there not a "follow user" button available from any given posting?

I want to like you. But you're making it real hard.

Does a realtime collab tool like this exist?

• many users log in & steer a point in X/Y space
• online, the point follows the average position/vector of inputs
• like an ouija planchette, collectively held
• the point is mapped to draw lines (art) or send MIDI data (music)

Basically a huge Etch-a-Sketch with realtime voting controls.

You could tweak the algorithm to favor recency, give minimum rates of change, or have multiple points.

If it doesn't exist, does anyone want to help me code it?
