A first step could include refusing to approve candidates who willfully spread disinformation, like residential school denialism, for election. Lynn Beyak was rightly removed from Senate for this and MPs should be held to the same standard.

The style manufactured by ai-produced illustrations looks exactly like a style someone would create for movie set in a post-apocalyptic society. Soft, gentle, and unsettling.

A&E made a documentary about this called No Greater Law. I have my History of Alternative Medicine students watch it. It's a lot of tough stuff to grapple with.

"No Greater Law" explores the struggles between an Idaho-based faith healing community and a Sheriff investigating the deaths of children from the community.

I am "they." Also, some people are put off by the non-consentual & deceptive nature of the entire operation. It's intereting that rejection of ai aligns with historic christian opposition to eugenics: catholics have been the most outspoken but evangelicals are fairly willing adopters.

But taking on the full cost of building the thing, when private proponents didn’t want to touch it even with those other supportive policies, basically means betting on demand (and the supply to meet it) beyond what the industry itself is willing to do. That’s deeply weird.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Things that will not improve learning: refusing to hire more teachers and reduce class sizes, removing designated supports, asking students to do everything on chromebooks.

Every work thing about A.I. is full of "it's iterative" and "but be sure to check it hasn't gone out of scope" and "but we all know that it can miss details." Just sounds like a real soggy hammer made out of jelly you want me to use.

Important. I'm not sure what will change without asking why the system has tolerated >30% of students not meeting its own outcomes year after year, decade after decade. It can turn into generations. There's a strong expectation that bureaucratic wheels turn. I'd like to see more transparency.
