When does generative AI qualify for fair use? Suchir Balaji
suchir.net/fair_use.html
the harder the industry invests on pushing narratives of AI as (only) positive, inevitable, and inherently good for society/business, the more any criticism of this narrative becomes “too radical”, “unworkable” and “unrealistic”
Here we go again.
When the federal government starts punishing libraries for carrying books about gender identity, it is not defending families. It is policing ideas.
That's what the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" is designed to do.
Call it what it is and oppose it.

Thank you @slj.com for your compelling review of #RadicalSchoolLibrarianship: A Global Response. The reviewer understood its value to #schoollibrarians. Our goal? Readers will join us in building a more just global society for students' sake! #TLSky #equity #diversity #inclusion #IntellectualFreedom
UK Lords Report, as per @diginomica.com
“widespread unlicensed use of protected works, coupled with limited transparency from AI developers about how their models have been trained, leaves rightsholders unsure about whether their content has been used, & unable to enforce their rights when it has.”
"Many Americans already take a dim view of A.I. and feel as if they are being frog-marched to a future that they neither asked for nor wanted." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/o...
Forgive my ignorance. Why is it important they have access to every company/model?
Once AI 'films' start hitting the market, it'll be like the C-list movies you see on DVD at Target with 6 price tags layered over one another as they decrease the price every month hoping someone will buy it until they eventually penny it out and throw it in a dumpster.

This is sad...

Interesting quiz @wikipedia.org wikipedia25.org/en/which-wik... I'm in the "consensus-driven collaborator" club. #libraries #wikipedia
Read what you want.
remember there is an army of HUMAN BEINGS out there doing "ghost work" to prevent even worse responses from reaching the public
and the only tool they have is effectively a "wrong answer" buzzer because you cannot teach it why the answer was wrong BECAUSE IT DOES NOT KNOW THINGS
"As recently as the middle of last year, there was little organized opposition to A.I. in schools. Today, though, many families want to hit the brakes, signing petitions to demand a two-year moratorium on generative A.I. in public education."
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Infographic about how books are published, sold, and enter the school library. Available at: tinyurl.com/how-books-2026
Remember my infographic about How Books Enter the Library? In this new version, I’ve added an annotated summary of Kelly Jensen’s “Books Don’t Just Appear on the Shelves.” Use this mashup to help folks understand how the claim of porn in school libraries makes no sense. tinyurl.com/how-books-2026
I liked that movie.
There’s a reason they spend so much time saying that AI is “inevitable.” They know it’s not. They live in fear of an understanding of the emperor’s nakedness.
Do you like war, and being surveilled at all times, and having concentration camps, and state sanctioned murder in the streets, and also you can't afford anything because jobs are going, homelessness is criminalized, and also your air and water and food are polluted? America #1!

It was fun to try some balanced or busy activities from the teacher guide for the #picturebook I'M BUSY with my Gr 1 students. We ended up discussing being mindful of how time is spent on devices. (The guide is on @debbieohi.com.) #edusky #SchoolLibrarians @marciecolleen.bsky.social

“The middle is a point equidistant from two poles. That’s it. There is nothing inherently virtuous about being neither here nor there… What is halfway between moral and immoral?” Tayari Jones (2018)

We're all aware that there is no evidence that any of this will help students, right? The little we have suggests otherwise. #EduSky www.the74million.org/article/excl...
Thank you @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social and ALA members for showing up #ForOurLibraries and taking our message to Congress. #libraries provide access to ideas and information for ALL! Libraries and #librarians support the very foundations of our democracy. #TLSky #EduSky #NLLD26 #FundLibraries!
“The abundance agenda…represents itself as a movement focused on housing & utility transmission permitting. In reality, it’s of a kind with a deep techno-optimist, pro-AI undercurrent that has permeated abundance thought since before Derek Thompson coined the phrase ‘abundance agenda’ in 2022.”
you say "i asked chatgpt"
i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]"
an improv group wrote this report
instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group
