After not posting to Instagram for over 18 months, I signed up for Threads. So far, a whole bunch of posts from accounts I don’t know stream by quite quickly. Disconcerting. I still dislike the algorithm.
Bookmarked Degenerative AI in education by .
But what if, instead of being generative of educational transformations, AI in education proves to be degenerative—deteriorating rather than improving classroom practices, educational relations and wider systems of schooling?
I’ve read this a couple of time, and probably need a couple more.
I guess, like other technologies that have entered the classroom, we are very much in the hands of the powerful. We get the technology we are given. Usually at a low cost, but perhaps at a high price?

I was watching this Golden-ringed Dragonfly as it caught onto a reed which bent under its weight.
Walk up Beinn Chaorach from Glen Fruin yesterday afternoon. Lots of wildflowers & ravens.
School finished for the summer in the pouring rain at 1pm today. By 5 O’clock the sun and a few butterflies were out, including this Meadow Brown. By the Kelvin near the vet school.

Me:
how could I display a list of links using the WordPress opml in the body of a page?
chat.openai.com:
[opml url=”URL_OF_OPML-FILE”]
Replace “URL_OF_OPML_FILE” with the actual URL you copied in the previous step.
For example:[opml url=”http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/links.opml”]
- Save or update the page.
- Preview or visit the page to see the list of links displayed.
WordPress will parse the OPML file and generate the necessary HTML to display the links.

Are you sure there is an opml shortcode? This didn’t work on my site
chat.openai.com:
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that there is no built-in OPML shortcode in WordPress. I apologize for the incorrect information provided.
What was intriguing was the total confidence for the reply and the immediate apology, did it check to see if I was correct? It then went on to offer a plugin suggestion…
Nice walk yesterday morning. Meadow Sweet starting to come out. 8 Ravens flying above edge of braes. Butterflies: Ringlet, Small heath, Meadow Brown. Lots of folk on the road, Braes quiet, quite wet in long grass.
