unlike this image of a family's living room opening into bilbo baggins in the mines of moria, i used alt text because accessibilty is a #MathValues we can all get behind 😇
![from the maa's "math values" blog
When a student asked whether we should be using AI at all, the answer reframed the question: not whether this technology should have arrived, but what educators will do now that it has.
[ai-generated image. a hobbit, too old to be frodo and thus presumably bilbo, stands holding the One Ring. to the right is a mineshaft-like tunnel, what must be gemini's interpretation of the mines of moria. there are gears and machinery embedded in the walls, which is frankly baffling. why would the dwarves build that? to the left of bilbo a doorway opens into the home of a nuclear family. the father and his bride—generic white dude and slightly shorter generic white woman—stand behind their two hobbit children (merry and pippen? sam and frodo?). everyone is watching worried at bilbo as he looks wearily at the ring. he doesn't wish to carry this burden. but a great evil has put this ring into the world and rather than destroy it in the fires of mount doom our only option is to use to craft the shittiest maa blog posts known to hobbit.]
Image generated using Gemini, with prompts created by ChatGPT.
Frodo, deep in the Mines of Moria, has just learned the full weight of what he carries. The Ring. The danger. The darkness closing in. And he says what any of us would say: "I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
Gandalf doesn't argue. He doesn't tell Frodo the Ring is good or bad. He doesn't minimize the danger or pretend the road ahead will be easy. He simply says, "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
I thought about that line a lot this year.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:73hkwya2rrrfg26vdcwnmo6p/bafkreihklozko7ir5slaqlzo3n3szyio6dle3u4b53ydubcknbuw27es5e)
