Very excited for Emmet Kirwan's new play, What If We Get To Be Happy, coming to Dublin next February. You can book tickets now (which you probably should, as it will sell out.)

Even without the ethical and environmental issues, cannot wrap my head around the uncritical use of genAI and the likes of ChatGPT - why would you want to outsource your cognitive ability, your own capacity for thought and reason and creativity? Why are people so unconcerned about losing that?

This is the part that breaks my heart. "Generative AI has broken the sacred contract between professors & students: that the professors are there to teach and the students are there to learn. The understanding has been broken...That’s a very deep part of the grief” www.chronicle.com/article/thes...

chronicle.com

These Professors Are Retiring Early. AI Was the Last Straw.

What is the point of teaching, they ask, if students are just pretending to learn?

Hi there, an educator here. We don’t need training on AI. We know what it is. We’re holding on for dear life until private equity decides to move on to the next shiny thing. I just hope there are enough of us still around to pick up the pieces.

The arguments against language reclamation haven't changed much in the nearly 20 years I've been working in this field: "It costs too much." "People are choosing to abandon their languages, so let them." "They have no practical use." "It's just sentimental nostalgia." Fuck All That, a thread:

When cultural preservation comes at the expense of speakers’ decisions, sometimes it's O.K. to let a language die.
