Seasonal workers

Yesterday I took apart some more tees. At work I did the meeting with T and B, which worked surprisingly well; I have a follow-up on Thursday to get a walkthrough of the code and their procedure representation language. I met briefly with M to answer some questions about frame grounding and turk studies. I made a bunch of progress on the how-sempre-works slides. At lab meeting T gave an off-the-cuff talk about the future of AI in education, in prep for his upcoming UNESCO keynote. It was good; I kept my comments to the two cringiest bits and let everyone else cover the bulk of the ethical issues. Offline, recommended A Closed And Common Orbit, since it has a positive vision for AI tutoring I think he’ll enjoy. While killing time before the shuttle, looked at a dataset F found on natural language KBP. There were some parts missing, so emailed the authors.

Home, dinner, DS9, decompressed and crossword with P when he got home, no snack since I ate so late, sleep. Dreamt of a terrible science kit containing actual poisonous spiders, hijinks in the house we built, dyeing my hair purple, a shitton of snow, a field trip in California, enumerating geometric solids, avoiding a potato tasting.
