I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

The letter from 25 Fields Medalists defending the practice of mathematics uses revealing language, describing math as a "creative" endeavor sustained by human-to-human transmission.After decades of contempt for the Humanities looks like we're all Humanists now. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

Often these solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup, the isolation of new methods and ideas, and citing relevant previous work of others. As in all creative professions, this raises severe attribution and plagiarism questions. Moreover, without the willing mathematicians who must take care of their development and integration into the mathematical canon, AI-conceived ideas would never become fully alive and the crucial human transmission chain between mathematicians would be lost.

Happy #InverteFest! Octopus says trans rights 🐙

Digital drawing of an octopus against a black background. Its eight arms are winding and twisting about wildly. Its eyes are blue, its main body pink, and its arms transition from blue at the ends, through white to pink near the body to echo the colors of the trans pride flag. (Rotated so that the image is taller than it is wide to be more easily seen on a phone screen.)

You played the recorder in part to strengthen your fine motor skills and in part to introduce you to basic music theory concepts like rhythm, the C-major scale, and reading basic music notes. Your teachers wanted to make elementary music education available to all, not just the rich.

Threads post "And then for no reason, no reason at all, they made us all learn how to play the recorder"

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

The scaffolding can stay on the condition that they mount a production of Einstein.

A photograph of a production of Philip Glass' landmark experimental opera, Einstein on the Beach. Several performers are either standing on stage, encased in moving glass boxes, or standing on a large scaffold in front of bright geometric, glowing arrays of lights.

Dave Eggers, on NPR's Wildcard with Rachel Martin: www.npr.org/2026/06/11/n...

"This is the first time in history when a whole generation is being told or tempted to have a machine write for them to express themselves. But I say like you are one of one unprecedented in the history of human evolution. There's only one of you. …There's never been you in Ever, and there never will be another one of you. So to give your voice to a machine, to say 'speak for me, I'm going to be silent and I'm going to tell a machine to express myself or to tell my narrative,' is such a crime against yourself.

"It's so dystopian, beyond anything I could do in a dystopian novel— and I did a lot; I never saw this coming— would be an entire generation tempted and too many of them acquiescing to the the silencing of their own voice in favor of a bland unthinking machine to voice their souls.

"But if you can tell them, 'even your roughest drafts, even your most disjointed seeming thoughts are going to be valid; and your voice is essential; the human chorus is incomplete without your voice; and I'm going to listen to whatever you say, even the rough drafts, whatever; I want those; I want to see it all," then we can make sure that that they're heard and that they feel like there are humans out there that want to hear that voice and not the machine processed voice.

"…Good lord, we're at a really scary time, you know, but every adult has to be that person. Every teacher, every parent has to be the one saying, 'Do not do this.' Your voice is the only thing that you have naturally. It's the one thing that nobody can replace. So let's hear your truth. Even if it's raw, even if it's unpolished, even if it doesn't come in the five paragraph essay or whatever. Like, let's let's have it straight from you."

The AI rot is worse than you think in academia. Our own administrators (and sometimes colleagues) who have drunk the genAI KoolAid and are insisting students have a right to use AI "responsibly" in doing their assignments. The fight is hard enough without fellow academics betraying us.
