Mayor Mamdani announces a ban on generative AI in schools through 8th grade: AI is not going to replace student-teacher interaction in NYC public schools. We have also heard the importance of protecting childhood—allowing students the opportunity to ask questions, to engage, to fail, to learn.

I’m telling y’all—running a community space like @skeuomorphpress.org is good for the soul. Just reading emails & I find (paraphrasing) “Hello, I’m a retired Navy captain & machinist. I was in your shop during community hours & learned about the handpress you’re restoring from your student workers”+

The thing is, I think these are all fundamentally correct & completely reconcilable political economies of the contemporary.

Too Late Capitalism (Kornbluh)
Muskism (Slobodian & Tarnoff)
End Times Fascism (Klein & Taylor)
Vectoralism (Wark)

TESCREAL (Gebru & Torres)
Neofeudalism (Dean)

Surveillance Capitalism (Zuboff)

Absolutely this on the lasting effects, networks & friendships built through DH summer schools (for me this was DHSI, but the European Summer School is closer to home for those of us on the other side of the pond). I'm looking forward to teaching the Critical AI workshop from 13-17 July: do apply!

reading computer science journals from the 1950s this morning, which I recommend as a soothing antidote to AI hype, I found what might be the earliest published instance of "doge" in a computing context (1959)

Something I don't understand is: why can't LLMs write novel-length fiction yet? They've got the context length for it. And new models seem capable of the multi-hop reasoning required for plot. So why hasn't anyone demoed a model that can write long interesting stories? I do have a theory ... +

New article co-authored by Machery shows that non-expert readers cannot distinguish AI-written poetry from poetry by human authors and rate AI-generated poems more favorably. "Non-expert poetry readers ... mistakenly interpret their own preference for a poem as evidence that it is human-written."
