@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Being consciously present and attentive. Listening, asking questions, and maintaining a genuine, constructive dialogue with another human being. I'm not saying I'm great at these skills, but I think we who work in teacher education need to make more room for their practice. Unfortunately decades of "rationalization" (i.e. cuts) have resulted in very little time for genuine encounters between teachers and teacher students. This is probably true for academia in general, but it is especially painful to witness in a field where we are supposed to teach future professionals in interpersonal communication. Paradoxically, we have to collect student feedback all the time through various electronic systems (i.e. quantifiable data), but with hundreds of students per teacher/ per term, we have minimal time for actual IRL discussions, personal feedback or oral exams.

@TarkabarkaHolgy I work in IT so obviously AI is the bane of my life. My niche offline expertise would be fishing, and Tolkien trivia (that's not really an expertise)

@TarkabarkaHolgy I know how to make string from various local plants and turn that string into baskets and nets. I'm not an archaeologist but volunteer at a local museum focused on the stoneage and show the guests how to make their own string.

@TarkabarkaHolgy But there never will be “traditional aichery” (sad if I’m wrong).

@TarkabarkaHolgy I’m collecting and researching folk songs, with a focus on the German youth movement (also 1970s folk bands), and high quality typesetting of these. Fortunately I found a mixed bunch of scouts that are interested in the same, unfortunately we live too far from each other to meet personally more often. Also somewhat involved with several trades of nerdism and activism. 😉 As a professional tech editor, I can’t allow halluzinazis.

@TarkabarkaHolgy I tend to value manually making things more now, putting ink on paper, sculpting wood, crochet, singing and live music ... enjoying the moment and the making. I also like musing on what if we lose a whole bunch of technology in the future? Because too enshittyfied, or too expensive, or too dangerous to give one's data to. What skills are worth learning?

@TarkabarkaHolgy Gargoyles from Dr Who (circa 1970)? I think to be honest regarding craft I do more "temu-busting" at faires than Ai busting.

@TarkabarkaHolgy I could manage living offline on a farm, milking cows and such things. And maybe even in the woods.

@TarkabarkaHolgy Circuit boards. I've always had this knack for looking at a circuit board and being able to tell what it's from and what it does. AI generated circuit boards are painfully obvious and they drive me up the wall. Traces that don't go anywhere. Half of a CPU footprint.

@TarkabarkaHolgy "AI"-busting has never come up for me, but I suspect if someone tried to use it to "look up" rules from D&D 3.0, 3.5, Pathfinder 1st Edition, or other games from that particular family rooted in the aughts that had its name stolen, I'd be the first to be asking, "Is that 'AI', or somebody's homebrew or third-party product that wasn't rooted in 3.x's meta-rules?"

@TarkabarkaHolgy Funnily I am indeed that witchy lady who knows how to process raw fleece and make it a wearable textile! And this toot is a helpful reminder to look for classes to learn how to shear sheep 😏 I’ve wanted to learn for ages and ages. Like so many sheep ranchers throw the fleece away! I could make SO MUCH COOL STUFF with wool that’s thrown away!
