over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

I just got done watching a truly horrible movie at Sundance ("The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist"). It was introduced by the Sundance programming rep as having "a strong sense of informational integrity", but it's hard to imagine a characterization more off the mark. A long thread 🧵>>

I finally watched this. The data and the tech are horrifying. @drtanksley.bsky.social’s research and pedagogy, however, are incredible — themselves a reminder of how GREAT great scholarship is. Just so, so good. Truly, everyone pls watch this — to learn about the bad and to be reminded of the good.

Can’t say how important this panel excerpt with @drtanksley.bsky.social is—particularly, IMO, for teachers using grading/anti-cheating programs run by AI. “Anti-Blackness is the algorithm meant to solve the problem of Black life.”

As AI proliferates in higher ed, we must ask how (& if) these tools - riddled w biases, rooted in carceral violence, used for surveillance more often than for learning, & reliant upon environmental destruction - can manifest the equitable futures Big Tech promises us All this & more on Nov 15 💪🏽

not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!
