Every news article about business leaders and/or social strife should mention that a cabal of billionaires and their trillionaire buddy are currently and explicitly trying to accelerate social collapse so they can be neofeudal kings in digital paradise forever. I dunno, seems like important context

“GOTTA LEARN AI OR BE LEFT BEHIND.” Good. Fuck off! Leave me behind! Enjoy your artbarf rapture, your janky Temu future. I’ll be back here looking at real birds and writing weird, also real, books.

Look, the solution is obvious. Hold the execs accountable for the crime that the committed by their greedy negligence. Who cares about "superintelligence", what's rogue here is a number of companies with unsafe business practices which knowingly endanger the public

They have little idea what engagement or reach is. I'm also a professor. 96 students today. I related to them, taught or helped them w/ something. I am the (kind, reasonable) arbiter of their grade in the class, which they need for their future. What the fuck does a prof care about bluesky clicks?

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Persuasion fails when we focus our efforts on those least likely to be persuaded, or when we define persuasion as "agreeing with our opponents intellectually in hopes of reciprocation." So often, "persuading fascists" is confused with "being persuaded by fascists." www.the-reframe.com/us-and-them/

Exclusion isn't good for the team. Telling disruptive stories in a fascist locker room.

Beware of anyone who is wistful about the aftermath of 9/11. It was a trauma blender of shock, grief, blood thirst, and racism— and it ushered in our surveillance state.

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

Perhaps a slight edit to consider: they were only just about to sponsor their first PGA event. Your wording suggests they have already sponsored multiple. Thanks for the article. I've been tuned in and waiting for something good to read about it.

there is no rhyme or reason to an entire “AI” department, much less an AI school. There is no curriculum, as such, because AI is not a school of thought. It has no theory, no method. It’s just a tool. Two or three courses, max, if someone is obsessed with it should suffice.

The AI rush is following the money. That’s historically continuous, eg The Cold War funding model. But the AI rush is also about currying political favor and signaling political loyalty. When that aligned with the money, it was a no brainer for feckless university leaders.

Jon Ossoff tells Lawrence O’Donnell: “It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults — public officials, paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust… No one cares about their feelings.”

I'm curious what you do for students whose first language isn't English and/or those who've been haunted by red pen grammar English teachers. Do you pair his with "Students' Right to Their Own Language," for ex?

our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)

there's a nexus here of "voices of assistive technology are almost always female" and "the sex doll people made a teaching robot" and "female professors get worse student evals" and "men fall for AI fawning" that sex workers can tell us a lot about.
