I quit using fb the day the Cambridge Analytica story broke in Mar 2018. The post on that story is my last and last engagement on my account. [I have kept my account alive as I co-manage my father's remembrance page with my siblings after his passing- may have to sadly revisit that decision].

A beautiful piece of writing. About humanity, pain, loss of parents and loved ones, poetic experiences.. everything that AI is not. And about impressionable minds caught in a death spiral engendered/egged on by insidious "sociotechnical" systems. Thank you for sharing, @benjaminjriley.bsky.social

Ty for sharing. Contrary to your admission, this was an eloquent piece of writing. The framing of the story resonated deeply (I'm now in a world w/o either parent. That final & irreparable unmooring from our human creators is an indescribably hard thing). I too have thought so often of Adam Raine.

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

In a few months, this World Bank study of "AI tutoring" will have dozens of citations and still be circulating as authoritative "policy relevant" evidence that AI improves learning. Here's a very useful assessment of why it should not be interpreted, cited, or used like that.

Bottomline: Be VERY WARY of putting kids in #K12 on an expansive #GenAI driven learning diet. Ensure that they're savvy abt using AI, yes, but make sure that they can think, survive, and perform all knowledge tasks (writing, synthesizing, analyzing, ..) equally well w/o AI.

They say that those who can & cannot use #AI will fuel the next digital divide. There's a corollary to that they're missing— Those who are able to think & problem solve WITHOUT AI vs those totally reliant on AI for their knowledge work will fuel the next intellect/knowledge/economic divide.

Just like my feed here on Bsky, and perhaps this app more broadly. (It’s why I did not and will not leave X). For those of us with broader interests and close connections to/family in other parts of the world (who need breaking news at times like this), this app is like a narrow, parochial bubble.

Also strange that there is a very high likelihood that any number that was based on computing careers prior to GenAi will not bear out in the coming years. AND the motivation for teaching CS especially in K-8 were not (or should not be) about higher wages, afaik.

Got an email from Common Sense Education titled, "Making AI and Digital Literacy a Priority." Email cites Trump's EO on AI in K-12 education before touting CSE's "trusted" AI literacy curriculum. I’d add this curriculum is produced in partnership with OpenAI, which, I think, is important context!
A screenshot of an email from Common Sense Education. The email excerpt reads, "As your school or district works to build actionable AI policies and plans, remember that Common Sense is here to help. We've been providing schools with quality AI literacy resources for more than a year now, and our trusted Digital Citizenship Curriculum supports all students as they navigate a world full of media and tech. Be sure to check out our free resources." I've added a red carrot and the words "and OpenAI" so that one sentence reads, "...remember that Common Sense and OpenAI is here to help."

If this isn't a cautionary warning for academics then I don't know what is. You are putting yourself one step closer to unemployment each time you use AI to write an email, synthesize literature, code any data, use the socratic method to organize ideas, or write syllabi, lectures & papers.
