Journalists need to stop describing these incidents in terms implying software has agency and intent. It does not. The people who created a faulty and dangerous product are the ones responsible for whatever happens, and must be held to account, with punitive financial penalties for damage done.

"AI" has existed in its current form for barely four years and the fact that it's jammed up the cognitive development of an entire generation that fast (and that there's a specific overclass of techofascists who are deeply thrilled about this) is a big damn red flag. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

Pleased to be quoted here. This is the first request for a conversation I've accepted from a journalist who emailed me abt AI bc the journalist, Kathryn Palmer, didn't approach me as a stenographer for industry but instead to provide visibility for a movement.We had a great substantive conversation
For academics and others who want to advance the Al-resistance movement, focusing on the right to refuse the technology and directing criticism toward tech companies offers the best path forward, said Sonja Drimmer, an associate professor of medieval art and architecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst who has written at length about resisting generative Al in education.
"Worries about plagiarism are distractions to pit teachers against students so that we forget that our actual opponents in this battle are profiteers and opportunists," she said. "The word 'inevitability' has long been used to defuse and deflate any kind of resistance or rejection to anything. It's important to ask who is promoting that narrative and why."
And while those and other questions about generative Al's ability to improve student outcomes remain largely unanswered, the higher education sector should take time to first question where the pressure to adopt the tools now is coming from, Drimmer added.
It's also why she believes the CCCC's resolution offers such an effective defense against that pressure.
"Urgency is meant to flood the mind of the customer so they can't take a pause to consider whether the thing that's being sold really needs to be bought," she said. "I see no need for urgency. I understand that the phrase 'But we're going to fall behind' can be very convincing. But no one is really asking, 'Fall behind what?''
