5 years ago, I wrote this op-ed. The Labour party had the power necessary to end austerity on their own. No need to convince any other party to support them. They continued with austerity and the damage it causes to the public research system. They've told us they will keep doing it. #NZPOL

End the age of austerity in science funding

OPINION: Covid-19 has resulted in redundancies among scientists, at a time when we need them most.

i am working on some transcript data of a teacher telling a group of children that they must 'speak in full sentences' in which he pauses, coughs, says errm a lot, repeats words, apologises, gets confused, is confusing, and my god how is this idea of 'speak in full sentences' still alive

I’ve muted “AI” except for posts from the people I follow. And wow, I’m no longer subjected to a breathlessly incessant cacophony of AI hype and doomerism. I highly recommend!

"...use of the word inevitable obviates the need to consider any alternative, and a person confronting only a single possibility is well beyond the need to think.

This is exactly how I talk about it too! I've seen Gen AI try to write good comms and it's always completely terrible (see - most of LinkedIn, a bunch of the newer FB 'nz politics influencer' types.

Screenshot of a tumblr post reading: recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Yes to all of this--and especially this, right now. "Resources must be put into the labor of teaching and learning to write so that the scale of interaction is appropriate to our goals of helping individuals learn to think and express themselves to the world through writing."

Based. As. Fuck. For an artist who had their work be changed by someone else and still want that change to exist shows how important art is in modern society. It's not just pictures and noise, it's a message. Ed Sheeran thinks art isn't that. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

I was so nervous going back to teaching this year with everyone saying students can't write, are getting stupider because of AI etc. Well guess what. All 19 students in my undergrad class today submitted their transcription assignments on time, and showed up to class. AND I don't think anyone failed
