Everyone I know who uses "agent" to describe a way they are using AI is akin to something like an actor's agent- someone that does a job for you. It's nothing like the notion of a biological agent because it does, indeed, imply some kind of motivated identity.

Badenoch does the fast blinking thing that if you teach, at any level, you see when someone absolutely does not know what they are talking about. Not sure if it's any better than Truss' screensaver mode.

One thing I like about Bluesky is people mentioning books I'd not heard of/read. I just read 'Goodbye to Berlin', very good (though I didn't know it was where Sally Bowled originated). I've heard today of the pre-1984 novel 'We', so that goes on the list. Small light in the ELE we're in.

All the people accurately tearing apart Braverman's nonsense miss that she's speaking to the kind of person who believes, as someone very calmly said to me once, as if it were a basic fact, that black people are a different species. Logic is so far from such people.

Some people are so blindingly insistent that the media determine who win elections they don't even realise how much agency they take away from everyone. Third person effect writ large, with them as the only one with those sunglasses from They Live.

Dominic Cummings there, I think.

I like the border images. By the looks of it: Cummings shooting people in the back, Aitken and Archer in their prison uniforms, a small boat, and some COVID bodies piled high.

I think a problem with that is the wildly different disciplinary attitudes to it. Some rail against it, some agonise over it, some seem to be luxuriating in it.

Certainly they should think through policies, and support their students better than allowing them to be fleeced by lawyers.

My daughter has started watching that show with the AI Gene Wilder narration. It doesn't even sound like him. It's so horrible. It's abuse. (I know they're already reanimating actors visually too, I've managed to avoid them so far.)

Would you like surgery to be open to those with the 'inability' to do so? This gatekeeping argument ignores that it merely shifts to the AI companies- who took everything without consent, credit or compensation in the first place- who the credulous give their money to instead of the creators.

I feel it's a bit like The Queue, in which people I'd considered quite sensible really lost their fucking minds. "But he actually said maybe Brexit was bad, and might do some things after the next election, it's a glorious revolution!"
