Aw man my colleagues @saraevogel.bsky.social @bethmsemel.bsky.social Chris Proctor and I spent so much time on our upcoming book dissecting Amira, the language and tech ideologies it embodies, and its (v likely) deleterious effect in schools, especially for emergent bi/multilingual students. Uugghh

What we are seeing is the systematic removal of any stories written by Black people about Black people under the guise of “age appropriateness.” But this is not about protecting the children. This is about protecting white supremacy. apple.news/AIR6QM3g4RKS...

The authors’ conclusions are bunk from the jump because they assume that parameters laid out by Chomsky are valid indicators that show humans uniquely use language. Chomsky fundamentally discounted the actual humanity of language, making Chomskyan tests of humanness a joke.

What this study found is that AI is pretty good at adopting formal linguistic analysis that treats language as a set of disembodied linguistic structures unique to humans, which is not surprising since it relegates the complexity of human language to “performance” outside of the scope of linguistics

A tourist was trying to follow directions provided by ChatGPT to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn. I told her to throw them in the garbage... I have no idea where she would have wound up....
To travel from Myrtle Avenue and Flushing Avenue in Brooklyn to Times Square in Manhattan via subway, follow these steps:

    Board the M Train at Myrtle Avenue–Broadway Station:

        Enter the station at Myrtle Avenue and Broadway.

        Take the M train (Queens Boulevard Local / 6th Avenue Local / Myrtle Avenue Local) heading toward Manhattan.
        zynamicgroup.com

    Transfer at 14th Street–Union Square Station:

        Ride the M train to 14th Street–Union Square.

        At this station, transfer to the L train (8th Avenue Local) toward Brooklyn.

    Travel to 8th Avenue Station:

        Ride the L train to 8th Avenue.

        At this station, transfer to the C train (8th Avenue Local) toward Brooklyn.

    Arrive at Times Square–42nd Street Station:

        Ride the C train to Times Square–42nd Street.

        Exit the station to reach Times Square in Manhattan.
This route involves two transfers and provides a straightforward path from your starting point to Times Square.
