This post by Carl T. Bergstrom about testing the Bing AI chat feature sparked a fascinating thread.

One suggestion that Bergstrom makes that I will adopt when I teach the capstone course in my department again and in any writing intensive course is to require an annotated bibliography.

The always insightful Cory Doctorow on Google not being an innovative company since immediately after introducing its very first product, search, which *was* innovative.

@johncarlosbaez Incidentally, I always push my students to higher levels of abstraction than they think they can handle, so there is a certain irony in my long-term difficulties category theory, which may also be because I have no direct need for it professionally. I think.

I saw a toot by John Carlos Baez (@johncarlosbaez ) earlier this evening about the book The Joy of Abstraction by Eugenia Cheng. I always have loved abstraction in mathematics but my few forays into reading about category theory had me stymied. I bought this book after reading that toot as an ebook and I am happy to report that I am very excited to finish it. Currently I am about to start the third chapter.

I recently started using the Ice Cubes client for Mastodon on iOS, intrigued by its feature that makes it easy to quote posts. Here is my first such quote-post, one that sends you to a nice essay on the economics of platforms.
