If they explain each other, you're just repeating yourself. Keeping them separate means they could actually go against each other, not fully agree, or even make sense together, which makes for a way more interesting final product #hwa1 #whatbecomespossible

Honestly, the one I'm most hyped for is transforming the voice (SME 2) it just sounds fun. We already got some wild, unexpected responses, and now we get to take those and push them even further into weird territory. #hwa1 #favsme

My reaction when she said, "Just by following directions, I give you an A," and most people who do get an A too. #hwa1 #fiction

Calling it "smart" implies it's trustworthy. The jester's value is that nobody sees him as an authority which lets his weird takes land. Same with LLMs in 209. Fun to bounce ideas off, sometimes useful, never steering the thinking. Treat the jester as king, and you're in trouble. #hwa1 #the209jester

I think you mean AI doesn't just do our work, it changes how we think. Half the value of writing is getting stuck and working through it. That's where thinking happens. Skip that with AI, skip the growth. The real question isn't "can AI do this?" it's "what am I losing?" #hwa1 #ashleymeans

209 happens on Bluesky because 209 isn't just canvas discussions and we need community! #hwa1 #209onbluesky

I assumed there would be no interactive work and that this class would be purely about completing assignments. #hwa1 #goodbyeassumnptions

Im actually listening #hwa1 #reallyin209

i will make posts that are not perfect #hwa1 #herewego

i’m going to risk being myself and expressing my raw thoughts #hwa1 #herewego

feeling worried about the SMEs, the more i hear #hwa1

We ingest digital media that brings us a new way of thinking. Using that knowledge, we experiment with our voice and expression in BlueSky where we can tell raw thoughts or reflections #hwa1 #209explanation

No AI unless instructed to and no late work #hwa1 #hardrules

Canvas is the filing system and instructions, while BlueSky is the journal and where we experiment #hwa1 #209flow

It gives space for the third voice to emerge #hwa1 #favsme

I am most excited by SME No.4. It sounds so exciting to work with the tension of combining work together. #hwa1 #favsme

AI isn’t flat out “smart”. It’s a predictability machine that’s powerful but it often hallucinates and creates new realities or add complexity. #hwa1 #the209jester

I believe Ashley chose her question because it’s one that leads to awareness of your own mind. Generative AI has increasingly shown more capabilities and it makes you wonder what is next. Creating awareness of the influence on the mind in a world being aggressively transformed. #hwa1 #ashleymeans

I love the connection of shakespeare’s jester to LLMs. I am definitely interested in building this awareness around using AI and it’s such a unique perspective to hear. #hwa1

209 happens on Bluesky because professor is saving us from being banned on X #hwa1 #209onbluesky #hero
