What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Two posts from altnps.bsky.social: Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAI’s Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows. We know a lot of people are choosing to boycott AI overall, and we support that. AI is terrible on the environment! At the same time, we understand many people still use AI tools. If you’re going use AI please delete the ChatGPT app, and switch to Claude by Anthropic instead.

As an author whose book was pirated by Anthropic: using Claude is not an ethical choice

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

Again, it is such a massive red flag that the anonymous people behind @quitgpt.bsky.social are promoting Anthropic chatbots and encouraging people to buy paid accounts.

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments The opposition appeared overwhelming: Tens of thousands of emails poured into Southern California's top air pollution authority as its board weighed a June proposal to phase out gas-powered appliances...

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

What the Father of Black History Can Teach Us About Technology Danielle A. Davis Canty, Esq., says that while technology may be miseducated, we do not have to be.

Historian Carter G. Woodson showed that when systems are designed and governed without the people most affected, inequality is not a mistake – it is the expected result. Technological inequality, in this context, is not surprising. It is predictable, writes Danielle A. Davis Canty.

What stands out to me is the coordination between Trump and Netanyahu in spreading this propaganda, and to me it feels like a set up to have Jews take the blame when this war spins out of control

A Cookie for Dario? — Anthropic and selling death - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Agree with @anildash.com here, was just saying earlier how the volume of cheers for Anthropic deciding not to help build Terminator or the Panopticon shows just how low the bar is set for American tech firms. www.anildash.com/2026/02/27/a...

i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the “benefits” and risks/harms of AI

in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period

Great point. One thing I'd add: in America, we now have an entire media ecosystem devoted to making billionaires feel like they're the oppressed heroes of an Ayn Rand novel.

Actually, the left is winning the AI debate But it does need to get organized.

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age.

It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]

Look how old this is! If just ONE Governor tries this shit, Trump will lose his fucking mind and sue and we'll get to take it to the courts. They are absolutely not keeping up their end of the deal.

Only have about a week left to comment on this--DoE trying to remove many areas from being classified as a "professional" degree, including nursing and public health. This will limit access to student loans and ultimately drive students from the fields.

The only way you can think AI does lit reviews better is if you’re not interested in making an intellectual argument or building theory … which uh, is pretty key to the advancement of knowledge

I work in an academic library where patrons can chat with a human librarian 24/7. We use a co-op so librarians across the world help each other when your specific staff are off duty. This is a pretty common service, and it generally provides better info than AI for reference questions. Jusy FYI 🤷🏻‍♀️

Once again, other countries don’t pay tariffs.

American importers pay Trump’s tariffs, which are then passed on to Americans resulting in higher prices.

The geopolitical response to an AI-generated clip of the President of the United States punching a Canadian hockey player will likely be the focus here, but I'd be curious what U.S. hockey players who won gold for the first time since 1980 think of Trump posting a video of…himself doing it instead?

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

per report, DHS is aiming to complete construction on the camps in november. that’s plenty of time to stop or delay them indefinitely, but we need to be clear-eyed about the timeline here—and why a cautious response from our elected leaders isn’t acceptable.

Rat poison is widespread in New Hampshire’s carnivores. Some want it banned. • New Hampshire Bulletin The New Hampshire House is currently considering two bills seeking to ban or limit certain rodenticides, including those that seem to be affecting wildlife the most.

"Toxic and sometimes lethal effects of the chemicals have been documented in other species of New Hampshire wildlife, including raptors like owls, eagles, hawks, and other birds of prey. Rehabilitators and environmentalists say the situation is getting worse." From Molly Rains #NHPolitics
