As per title. I made a few comics in the morning to fill out this week, then I had to prepare for the university Data Engineering lecture. I dropped Scully off at doggie daycare then caught a train into the city and had some quick sushi for lunch before the lecture began at midday.
It was a longer lecture today – 2.5 hours with the tutorial breaks. About designing experiments and how to deal with control and independent and confounding variables and stuff like that. Then I caught the train home and picked up Scully from my wife’s work, as she’d picked her up from the daycare place after a few hours.
I made Thai red curry vegetables and rice for dinner, before getting stuck into three ethics classes in a row, on this weeks’ new topic of Artificial Intelligence. The first class has three kids who are, shall I say, a bit playful. I showed them some brief examples of ChatGPT in action to set context for questions, including some examples of how easy it is to get it to produce false information. This produced much mirth and the class sort of devolved into the kids requesting me to type in more and more ridiculous prompts to see what ChatGPT would do. I squeezed some serious questions in there, but everyone was having fun, and one of them said at the end that this was the best class ever.
