I’m tired of chatbots. Jev is great. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve probably heard of TypeSafe’s Jev model by now and are wondering why it’s being hyped. It sounds like a highly constrained LLM. You can’t chat with it or ask it to explain its reasoning. It just returns decisions and probabilities that software can act on. You certainly can’t explore novel insights or write long-form essays. It’s not going to create flashy artifacts in Blender (although it probably can, stay tuned).Even TypeSafe’s website keeps it humble: “Building prod, not God.” Jev in p
You’re probably sick of seeing Fable and Astra create 3D simulations, but something really is happening. (opens the original)

Why create a simulated civilization?By this point you’re probably sick of what OpenAI’s Astra model can do in Blender. Well, here’s more!

Do We Buy It or Build It?When attending conferences or even chatting casually with peers across other institutions, I increasingly hear some version of the agent-era dilemma, “Do we buy this or build it?” You can absolutely build many great things now.

I still use my college’s official platform for most of my OER work, but for this one cour
Is Claude Code Turning Faculty into PMs? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m promising a Part 2 because the PM mindset discussed in this article is a double-edged sword. Realizing that faculty are becoming PMs, and that agents can help, can be liberating. The most tedious parts of our job can be delegated and treated as a project to orchestrate. But there are severe limits to the PM mindset that I’ll explore in Part 2.In a recent post about ChatGPT Work and Claude Cowork interfaces, <s
How OER creators (and faculty) can meet the agentic AI moment (opens the original)

I recently gave the keynote at the 2026 California OER Conference. This piece is the article version of the talk After the Chatbot Era - CalOER Keynote.I’m always fascinated by how people got into both OER and AI so here’s my story.In 2017, I attended Digital Pedagogy Lab Vancouver, co-hosted by Hybrid Pedagogy and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, because I was trying to figure out what to do with my online America
