I assign an UnEssay to my students as a fun way to end the semester, so they can show what they've learned in the class and show off their creative talents. This year I had students turn in AI SLOP. FOR THE FUN CREATIVE ASSIGNMENT! They're so steeped in AI hype that they're outsourcing FUN itself.

First, DEI is not affirmative action. Reporters have allowed that right-wing conflation for years.

Second, affirmative action persists in universities ONLY for men. It’s so open it’s not a secret.

I love how no one who uses ChatGPT ever wants to take any responsibility for its ills. Yes often in capitalism certain conveniences aren‘t an option to do without but this one very much is and if we don‘t stop it now …

Chatgpt is also pretty good at driving people out of their neighbourhoods with their bulky server buildings, wasting water for the equivalent of 10 Google searches per prompt and making people's electric bills skyrocket.

But are you gonna write your app with ChatGPT? As many workshops for scholars now recommend. 🙃

Weirdly I know software developers who also hate AI and advocate against its usage but you do you

Yeah what do you think I‘m doing?
Boycotting still helps as well though.

I just think nobody should be using this cause it‘s fascist tech that depleted the planet‘s water resources but what do I know

Like it‘s one thing if you are forced to use a tool by your employer but a different thing if you choose to use ChatGPT to program

8000 Artikel über zu viel "Wokeness" an den deutschen Unis; vornehmes Schweigen dazu, dass diese Unis gerade im Rahmen einer harten Austeritätspolitik abgewickelt werden.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Macht alles Sinn für mich. Zusätzlich würd ich auch noch sagen absolut null tiefergehendes Verständnis für Technik bei vielen wenn nicht allen. Is ja generell an der Uni in den Geisteswissenschaften schon schwierig jemanden zu finden der nen Laptop unfallfrei an nen Beamer anschließen kann.

Ja letztes Mal als ich gesagt hab ich find es unmöglich hat man mir halt vorgeworfen ich wäre scheiße weil die sind ja alle so überarbeitet und eben wir sind‘s ja auch… aber irgendwie fällt im Lehramt die Kritik fast komplett weg.
