You think a stupid Nor'easter will stop me from going to my beloved BALTIMORE COMICCON? I mean, probably not. I hope not. Are trains affected by high winds? THEY'RE ON TRACKS PEOPLE See you at the REKCAH COMICS booth Sat & Sun! Will have limited copies of the Ringo-nominated GAMEMASTERS with me...

I testified along with other members of @comixaction.com and the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social at the @council.nyc.gov hearing on screen time and digital devices in the schools today. My message - close the loopholes in the new "A.i." policy! Some photos from the rally before and the hearing...

And of course: LLMs and generative "A.i." are based on massive, industrialized theft from artists and writers by far right billionaires. They should not be used by a people-first and/or socialist administration on that basis alone.

Another potential gap in the new NYC "A.i." rules - the rules should explicitly forbid "A.i." generated images in illustrations for lessons. "A.i." CONSTANTLY introduces mistakes/inaccuracies in images - unacceptable for education, particularly history.

...and any "A.i." literacy must include "A.i." QUITERACY - meaning students must be given the practical tools and knowledge to ELIMINATE "A.i." from their education and work if they so choose.

The guidelines also require "A.i. literacy" programs for grades 9-12. Sounds good - but many "A.i. literacy" programs I've seen are funded or influenced by the "A.i." industry and just push people to use the tech. "A.i." literacy in the schools CANNOT be funded/influenced by the "A.i." industry...

The guidelines also fail by allowing teachers to use "A.i." for lesson plans. "A.i." routinely injects falsehoods and racial bias into its outputs - right wing billionaires who can easily amp up "A.i."s bigoted outputs, as we've seen with Musk. Unacceptable for lesson plans.

NYC needs to make sure that even these pilot programs don't push kids in 9-12 to use generative "A.i." for writing or art. No replacing process with product, no deskilling, no forced cognitive decline.

Kids should NEVER be pushed to replace their own experiences, thoughts, and skills with 'A.i.' - that's a horribly damaging thing to do to a child. So I'm cautiously pleased to see that NYC is banning "A.i." for grades 2K-8! But the guidelines allow for "A.i." "pilot programs" for grades 9-12...
