I love that Bill Clinton will likely be the one that makes it possible to indict politicians for contempt.

"Obedience is never total: every regime of compliance provokes the possibility of disobedience. The challenge for educational theory is to articulate how such spaces of disobedience might be fostered in algorithmic societies;

It seems to me there is an emerging consensus that LLM GenAI is detrimental to critical thinking. Can anyone make a counter argument grounded in research?

Head: Whiteness and Autocracy

A friend of mine, Jed Emerson, is writing a series of posts titled Antidote to Autocracy. This post is a response or an adjacency to his work. However, two posts happened. It is the second of two part...

I spent the day today at an advocacy event for #AIinEdu put on by World Saavy and aiEDU. The event was advertised as an opportunity for student voice but the message was crafted from the very beginning that AI is inevitable in edu and necessary to be prepared for "the workplace".

I teach in the tradition of Liberatory Pedagogy. I am confident in my teaching when I am teaching but it is so counter-cultural that in adult spaces I shrink. The foundation of this Pedagogy is student choice. This does not mean an abdication by the teacher. It's harder than obedience.

LLM GenAI is a product that no one ever asked for. Many people see the massive investment with no justifying revenue as evidence of a bubble; however, I don't think this is the whole story.

Erasing Black History is not just an act of racism. It is an attempt to make sure that white people don’t know that they can fight oppression. It’s an attempt to let white people know they can sleep in the hay in the barn and don’t have to be on the streets, so long as we behave.

If you're in the East Bay and looking to be part of the solution, show up at the bridge to Coast Guard Island. Lots of clergy and older folks there now. Get in the way. Slow them.down. maps.app.goo.gl/CxLUMBA3KJE6...

I didn't think there is an AI bubble. That would only be the case if the AI companies needed to make revenue to pay back their investors. From what I can see, this is all in the family. It's more like the economy's owners renovating the economy's kitchen so we can be cooked more efficiently.

Comfortable people whine for "civility". It's a cloak. A place to hide. A way to not be accountable.

Absurd and serious declaration: I am going to build an super shitty alternative to Google Classroom because I fucking hate Google right now. My students will be miserable trying to use it and it will make teaching harder. Take that Google! #GawdIHateThisWorld #SkyEdu #EduSky #AiinEdu

I am just so exhausted and angry at the self-righteous rich pushing their shit down our throats in education. Google is shoving AI garbage into their ubiquitous tools and our district IT says it's fucking whack-a-mole to turn them off so they can figure out if they are worth turning them on #AIinEdu

I have never done a project like this and am pretty happy with the result. Made the tiles. Reclaimed wood from a bathroom vanity. Cut and welded the legs. #Pottery #DIY #Maker

I'm making a coffee table with an embedded tile. This was a practice because it curled when it dries but I'm really happy with it.

I recently switched to Deezer from Spotify. Really good experience. Mostly the fidelity is a lot better. IMHO, the mp3 is the worst thing to happen to music.
