I keep shouting that AI is for the lazy and the incompetent. Turns out, it MAKES people lazy and incompetent.

Banned all electronics (excepting only those with valid disability-related needs) from my classes. Students practically cheered.

Sadly, other companies are so invested in fucking over workers, no AI company will ever need any sort of government bail out. The billionaire class will keep pouring money in to screw over everyone else.

Many, but I distinctly remember my brother and I renting this one so often on movie nights that our mom banned it:

Done. One bit of heartening (admittedly, anecdotal) information: I've banned AI (and all other tech) from my classes. Students have been thrilled!

Tangentially connected: I've banned all tech from my classrooms this semester (barring accessibility exceptions). So far - two week in - best classes I've had in YEARS.

I seem to be saying this a lot lately (pure coincidence, I'm sure): Fuck all administrators, everywhere. Forever.

Exactly. I grew up in the 80's - as a decade, it was little more than 50's nostalgia.

I teach business ethics, and students - all business majors - regularly advocate for this.

I would add 'rich' - they're always more than happy to hold poor white people to account. It's a class issue, as well as a race one.

I'm not a huge sketch comedy fan - I tend to think that even the best have about a 1-in-3 hit rate-but SCTV and Python are the exceptions.

John's Burger Stand on the Outer Banks, NC. 30+ years ago. To this day, not sure whether it was real or a hallucination. But every burger since has been held to that standard, and found wanting.

I don't know why this stood out to me, but, aside from Al, every woman in the video seems like she's having the time of her life; every man seems like he's there for a check.

Watching early MST3K episodes and I'm absolutely convinced that Elon Musk has one or more people held captive in space, but instead of watching bad movies, they're reading his tweets.

Had a couple of start-of-the-semester events today, and noticed that I was the only person I interacted with who made a point of using everyone's names when I first interacted with them. These are people I've known for a decade or more, but that's the only way I can remember names at all.

I stopped taking the whole idea of management seriously the second I started hearing various bureaucrats blather about leadership. You manage a Wendy's; we're not storming the beaches at Normandy.

As a teacher who's never used AI for anything - and never will - those teachers should be fired. Immediately. If you can't do the job, leave.

I also teach at my local community college, and this sums up the experience well. Add to it that my school's administrators have bought into all the AI hype, the whole situation has got me thinking about leaving a job I've loved for 25+ years.
