When AI Agents Can Complete the Assignment: Practical Strategies for Designing Tasks That Still Require Human Thinking

There’s a saying in the management world, popularized by NASA administrator Daniel Goldin in the 1990s, that the goal of technological improvements is to make products faster, better, and cheaper. Although this strategy had some success in the aerospace ...

Anthropic's most powerful AI yet — Fable 5 — just dropped. Here's how to decide whether it's worth adding to your L&D AI stack. The TLDR: Fable 5 is uniquely good at some of the things L&D has never been able to do with AI: → Audit a whole course or curriculum (messy PDFs, slides, the lot) → Long-horizon work: mapping a 40-course catalogue to a competency framework in one chat → Exhaustive QA — every objective–activity–assessment alignment run with precision, not sampling BUT, it's expensive by design, and it writes like a brilliant engineer — dense, exhaustive, incredibly detailed (tip: never let it write for your learners....). 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ In all of the AI noise about new models, the skill most worth developing is how to judge which AI models to use for which tasks. I've built 4 paste-and-go tests to help you decide if Fable 5 is the most powerful AI model yet *for you* and *your work*. If you're a paid Claude user, you have two weeks to test and decide. Fable 5 is free on paid Claude plans until 22 June only — then it's usage credits. Happy testing! Phil 👋 | 22 comments on LinkedIn

Never paste passwords or SSNs into ChatGPT or Claude. Turn off training data opt-in, use separate work accounts, and keep credentials in a password manager.

How thirsty is AI, actually? And why does everyone care so much?

Another blog on the ins and outs of something I built, what it's all about, and why it might be a useful tool and/or concept. A llms.txt tool designed for specific use cases.

How I use Claude Cowork to run a more thorough, less painful quarterly review — it reads the record, I keep the judgment.

My iHeartMedia interview with Panagiota Babadelis, MBA and DJ Prostyle is officially live and available. I talk about the whole gamut. ➢ agency-rich classrooms ➢ how I got into education ➢ course and assignment design ➢ how AI challenges college professors It's one of the first interviews when I talk about how I got into education through the anonymity and agency of college classrooms. You can get the full interview in a bunch of different ways!

There’s talk about loop engineering, but what is it exactly? I looked into it, and found triggers, cron jobs, AI slop & more. Is it a “here today, gone tomorrow” trend?

The wrong question is "which AI tool?" — the right question is "which role should I hire?"

No AI is conscious. Anthropic’s global workspace paper shows Claude can report its own reasoning while feeling nothing. See who profits from the blur.

Taught to sound like a candidate, bots are engaging voters with personalized text messages, making AI-generated texting conversations the latest tool political campaigns are using to connect.

This is one more example of how a chatbot will NOT read your writing and provide useful insights into what you have created.

If you aren’t following Gary, you should be. His education mantra/mission/manifesto (about learners and instructors) can be written in accessible sized script on a cocktail napkin Less Us, More Them I know this because I learned at the feet of Dr. Stager . And of course, with a mission like “less us, more them,” you’re not learning at anyone’s feet…you’re creating and developing and debating and iterating and constructing. So when one of the luminaries of computing as a tool for learning sounds the alarm on where the impact of learning is headed in, as he puts it, hysterical direction, it’s worth considering what the actual pushback is coding. If the net result of eliminating screens and testing kindergartners for math proficiency is more worksheets and test prep, the measurable loss will be to those most dedicated to student proficiency: the progressive and learning-centered pedagogies of the last 50 years.

Congratulations. You’re irreplaceable.
