We've launched a toolkit to help teachers and students navigate the uncertain future of education in the age of generative #AI. Browse recommended policies, watch tutorials, and learn strategies for integrating #ChatGPT #Midjourney et al. into your classes https://t.co/Qk8h00ENG1

November's digital heritage month. Anyone needing help with a collection can register now for my spring course in preservation or apply to UMaine's all-online grad certificate, which has been called "a national standard for the study of digital curation" https://t.co/2i4GDDZ7Fp

Every post you write is first read by a machine. Should the nature of writing change to accommodate that? I look at the pros and cons of adopting an AI-friendly grammar https://t.co/aX1QO00uqj

The What Uses More calculator was featured in Mark Cuban's October AI Bootcamp newsletter, along with Susan Ray's Carbon Footprint Chatbot. Both let students compare AI's environmental footprint to more familiar activities like Netflix or Zoom. https://t.co/AKIG5Xt5Gp

Great news for anyone preserving a collection: DPOE grants now fund training like my online digital preservation course on everything from checksums to DNA storage. My past students have landed these grants; you can apply now for my class starting Jan 20. https://t.co/2i4GDDZ7Fp

Google has teased 60-second AI videos from Veo, which sounds impressive until you realize that requires not 10x, but 100x the energy of a 6-second clip. Confirmation of quadratic scaling of AI video footprint: https://t.co/GbpEFoB61B

Terrifying to think the 21st century is a 1/4 over! Even more so if your library/archive/museum is still stuck in the previous one. In UMaine's online Digital Curation program, we teach the digital skills necessary to bring your collection into the 21st. https://t.co/2i4GDDYzPR

🗳️🇺🇸 Hey, Maine! A week from tomorrow (Nov 4) you’ve got a referendum that could shape elections for years. It may be an off-year but the outcome will decide who can vote, especially for older/disabled/rural/on-call workers. Bipartisan info at https://t.co/ZneYf0p8EN.

We've integrated lessons on AI's tech, ethics, and methods into our online Digital Curation grad cert https://t.co/2i4GDDYzPR to support jobs like this Critical Artificial Intelligence Librarian: https://t.co/NxI0wWmfbi HT to our Dartmouth collaborator @novomancy.bsky.social!

Paxos Mistakenly Issues $300 Trillion of PayPal Stablecoin, Exceeding Global Currency Supply "The amount exceeded all US dollars in circulation and surpassed the entire cryptocurrency market combined" Nothing to see here, move along.

With each passing day, the AI space looks more and more like home mortgage securitization at the peak of the housing bubble with its overlapping series of capital conveyor belts.

The surge in watermark removers within days of Sora 2’s release reminds us that most AI detection is just security theater at this point. https://t.co/T0EMQh2xWI 🐘♻️

This week we lost avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, whose flickering experiments with film and light reinforced the lesson of variable media preservation: we keep things alive by keeping them moving. https://t.co/XPUhfwpcgb

Did you know that the Learning With AI toolkit has a speakers bureau for AI and education? Filter for expertise like "agents + administration" or "data + bias," then click on presenters to watch recordings that demonstrate their presentation styles. https://t.co/nIBDS6uTBv

We offer rolling admission for our online grad certificate in Digital Curation, so you can apply any time. Our spring 2026 courses will cover #DigitalPreservation #DigitalStorage #Metadata #Migration #Emulation #DigitalForensics #WebArchiving and more https://t.co/2i4GDDZ7Fp

Will AI in the classroom mean students asking ChatGPT for help with algebra homework, or strapping on a headband that streams their brainwaves to teachers and parents? In China, teachers are already policing attention with the latter https://t.co/KUdQQW1yqS 🐘♻️

A new finding demonstrates the brutal carbon math of AI video: a 6-second clip can burn 4x the energy of a 3-second one. I’ve updated the What Uses More digital footprint calculator to show why “just a bit longer” gets disproportionately expensive. https://t.co/GbpEFoBDR9 🐘♻️

On yesterday's Teaching, Learning, and Everything Else podcast, I talked about AI's impact on the environment and classrooms—and argued that it isn’t reinventing education so much as exposing bad habits we should’ve let go years ago https://t.co/zyckcEJlVP

Will a new startup topple Nvidia's dominance with more efficient AI chips? I suggest it may not make much difference to AI's environmental footprint in this piece from Inc. magazine

Artists once worried about people downloading images. Today, AI has them so rattled that hackers are extorting them by threatening to submit their work to training datasets. https://t.co/hZdU98AQYI
