Filched from Esther because that’s how I think of those distances too – and because I can’t actually go visit these places tonight but have to read about reorganisation and read student work and comment both and have ideas instead.

Ruther’an Village – Darkshire = one cup of tea
Ruther’an – Astrannaar = time it takes to go to the shop for teabags and back (I liked the distance vs distance of this one)
Sun Rock Retreat – Thunder Bluff = sort and load washing machine
Menthil – Stormwind = four pages of lit crit, approx 12 of fiction book, pause to look at the crashed biplane again.
Crossroads – Ogrimmar = put out clothes and teaching for work in the morning.

    During the last days I’ve been used to be in Undercity (to join BG) and then to fly to BootyBay to do my quests…

    That’s the bad side.
    The bright one is that acting in such a wide world gives you the opportunity to have always a new palce to visit
    or a new mountain to reach or a new village to discover (at least until you’re 60) and this makes playing in wow

    Orgimmar – Tanaris: Take a shower and dress
    Undercity – Kargath: prepare a nice little meal which can be eaten at the computer
    Silithus – Winterspring: Run down and over the street to the laundromat and throw the clothes in the dryer

    Oh, and Luca? From Undercity to Stranglethorn: use the Zeppeliner! Much faster, and the flight from Grom’gol to Booty Bay is a quick little local trip.

AI copyediting: how Paperpal butchered my paper on AI-generated writing

This morning I received the copy-edited version of a paper I recently submitted to a journal. This is always cause for celebration, another step towards publication accomplished! But this time the copy-editor wasn’t human, it was an AI. We have undertaken a light text edit using the tool Paperpal Preflight; […]

From 17th century book factories to AI-generated literature

When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
