I was your friendly, neighbourhood rhetoric and game studies diva. Now I’m not sure what’s going on. I'm into critical pedagogy, rhetorical genre studies, open ed, and trusting my students.

Somehow through the magic of AI we have made computers less reliable than any handheld calculator from the previous 50 years.

And so the Liberals tried their usual “ Industrial Peace” garbage to oppress worker rights. CUPE and the Air Canada attendants put Carney’s Liberals on notice. That outdated law can’t be used to break workers’ Charter rights. Solidarity!

Somehow, the flappy-bird moves of Diplocaulus in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... are based on real science! Back in 1980, Cruickshank and Skews used a replica and a wind tunnel to show that tilting the head up while facing the current would propulse it upwards ⤴️

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It's fascism. You ask yourself, "why are they doing [thing X]?" Fascism. It's fascism. Fascism is infinitely stupider than we dream, while also being infinitely worse than we are ready for.

Sad to hear that Margaret Boden, pioneer in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, has passed away.

Just a few days ago, someone reactivated the post below. I warmly recommend watching the video.

Thank you Margaret for founding and shaping our field.

I’m a Canadian and I donate monthly. Everyone should (if they can). Sharing factual news and local stories extinguishes fascism.

If we are talking the law of the law of genre and stick with Burkean motivations, then the essay is a form of social/cultural/historical evaluation that stratifies students into a colonial class system. The essay’s internal dynamic in Canada is SAE. Just flinging thoughts.
