We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars. An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fishβ€”and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

I am so proud that my partner @samirabady.bsky.social was one of the journalists breaking this AI vending machine and making it order live fish

I think Darryl Domingo's novel chapter in the Rhetoric of Diversion touches on this...

The questions were so perfect! Things I hadn’t quite thought about. And…Frances watched soap operas!

I love that I called this a lightning round. Shows that I think in Clarissa proportions!

Toward an Oral History of Clarissa contributed by Stephanie Hershinow

I got to do a lightning round about my devotion to Clarissa with @sinsleyh.bsky.social, and she has honored me beyond measure by pairing it with one by Frances Ferguson. Swoon!

as the world burns, can I recommend having your students read "To His Coy Mistress" out loud to cleanse your soul

if ease is necessary (a); if you want accolades (b)

I never pre-plan them!!! It's always me riffing if I feel like what I'm saying could in any way be boring πŸ˜‚ And today I taught Lukacs, so....lot of improv jokes.

oh, 100%. humor (effectual and ineffectual) has been my bread and butter for 25 years...there's no stopping me now

11.09.2025 17:00 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

oh no, I think my students don’t think I’m funny. I have no pedagogy without jokes

late to this game! @sarahebull.bsky.social is more likely to know... i'm inclined to say no, that they'd be more affiliated with medical/apothecary shops, but i'm unsure.
