On A.I.
Remembering why we learn
Some reflections on my experiences of #AI in academia (tl,dr: too apolitical, too a-humanities). Hopefully of interest to anyone as ambivalent about tech zealotry as me.

If it helps, you can remove the ai-generated summary by adding -ai at the end of any google search. I'm not sure it differs environmentally since it might just be that the user no longer sees it but it's still being generated, but also nice not to have automated garbage shoved in your face...

The justice factory: management practices at the International Criminal Court
In The justice factory, Richard Clements explores the relationship between global justice and management discourses that permeate the International Crimina
I had the pleasure to review The Justice Factory: Management practices at the ICC (academic.oup.com/ia/article-a...) for IA (@iajournal.bsky.social). Richard βͺClements' (@riclements.bsky.socialβ¬) pathbreaking book is a must read for those interested in the ICC and global governance more generally .

One way to understand the nature of legal work is to ask how the jurist becomes oriented towards their materials. What draws us in or excites us, what leaves us unmoved or repels us - (1/n)

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.
TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. πͺ
