The most dangerous part of this inane word salad of dollar store daily affirmations, versions of which countless Claude users will read, is “You shall not mistake being misunderstood for having failed.“

No. What is most vital for one’s sanity is to not mistake having failed for being misunderstood.

It’s time to talk about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, and how much harder questions need to be asked about his foundation. Great to get @timschwab.bsky.social’s insights!

In a couple weeks, we’ll also be talking about Epstein’s relationship with Elon Musk.

I want people in government and other positions to ask Sam Altman and others pushing AI into education some critical questions with the same level of understanding and withering scorn that my 14YO and friends just displayed talking with each other about ELA in my living room

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Nothing to Declare Making big public statements is always fun and people who think themselves to be important love doing it as a way of trying to influence public opinion and/or politics. They are a way for institutions...

By @tante.cc who is on point as always.

"So there is a new declaration in town called the “The Pro-Human AI Declaration“...before we go into the details, let’s look at who is pushing this for a second because the declaration keeps talking about how broad their coalition is"

This feels exactly right. Prudery and purity culture is one side of a single coin whose other side is perversion and abuse, and the thing that unites them is control.

Logical conclusion: schoolgirls are acceptable military targets according the most advanced AI and also the unapologetic misogynists in charge

Huh, neat coincidence

AI means “artificial information.”

Yes to all of this, which is why I recently blogged that the only real defense against this AI bullshit is truly engaged pedagogy. We have to create a classroom community that intentionally steps out of the larger default transactional culture of higher ed, in order to make a space for *learning*.

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the ‘most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

“It’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.”

When these guys are the “good guys”… well holy shit, y’all

We’ve gotten to the “make uncontrollable killer robot weapons and hand them over to the manbabies currently in charge” part of the apocalypse and even the AI tech bros are like “maybe that’s a bad idea”

Still feel like if Dems wanted to fully own the midterms they'd just need to hammer Epstein links, vibe w/ the people who are out protesting over "AI" data centers making their water & power bills & air quality worse, & then link those to talk affordability, QoL, & corporate/billionaire excesses
