Wondering if this would be good for class to watch.
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)Somewhat inspired, I deleted my Slideshare account. Although I have issues with another company simply inheriting my data, I realised that I have not used the space for a few years and saw no reason to maintain a historical presence there. With my focus on a ‘domain of my own’, I have downloaded...
Took me a while to delete my empty slideshare account, Finally change password (did I have one?) and there is a link at the bottom. Needed to set a password via a link, logon with that and delete account. I also had a wee look at my linkedin settings, which was interesting. The tangled web of accounts and data we have on the internet is a mess. I think I may have another slideshare account from a long time ago.

I’ve read a few AI things recently. I can’t say I’ve got my head round it. A few bookmarks:
Donald Clark Plan B: GPT-3 is like looking into the future What a time to be living.
I couldn’t tell the difference between Wallace Stephens and a bot. Interestingly my wife could, she pointed out that reading out loud made the human poet easier to pick.
Not just words: Let’s talk about that GPT-3 AI tweet that shook designers to the core
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.
You can have fun with the previous GPT-2:
Write With Transformer
The Small Web is for people (not startups, enterprises, or governments). It is also made by people and small, independent organisations (not startups, enterprises, or governments2).
I got site.js up and running on my raspberry pi for a while. Pretty straightforward (I managed the certs stuff eventually).
The idea of The Small Web is the sort of thing I’ve been interested in since I started blogging. I’d love Glow to do something like this for educators (Glow Blogs is part way there, government hosting for some (educators) of its citizens).
Hope to dig into this some more. All the ideas are just lovely!

I am pretty much addicted to @jjn1’s daily, this one is particularly interesting.
The SAFE Project has been placing recording devices throughout the rainforest in Borneo. That audio is now available to listen to here.
