Starting a new thread to collect critical perspectives on AI, as they are articulated dozens of times every day and appear repeatedly on my timeline. I can't read everything right away, but if, like me, you want to stay up to date, then this might help a bit:

infographic, reading: "stop doing sociology. society was never meant to be studied or explained. wanted to make wide sweeping statements about the human condition anyway? we had a tool for that. it was called just making shit up. "actually this birthday party is more than just a mere epiphenomenon of its morphological basis, just as an individual consciousness is more than a mere efflorescence of its parts. so yeah i suppose you could say i am having fun" statemeants dreamed up by the utterly deranged. "hello i would like to have a job as a vector for the self reproduction of capital through accumulation of surplus value please" they have played us for absolute fools

600 espressos could fix me

there are only 2 kinds of people: those who speak in furtive whispers of the secret souls of things as they alone can see them and those who dance ineffably and thoughtlessly between the rays of a musical sun

A glass bowl with vibrant, multicolored patterns including blue, orange, yellow, green, and white. The design features bold, angular lines and intricate textures, and the bowl is illuminated , enhancing the colors and creating a glowing effect against a light background.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: A magnificent #Roman striped mosaic bowl, made of preformed rods and canes fused on or in mold. Timeless beauty!

Dessin montrant, le bateau « Madleen », sur lequel sont hissés des drapeaux palestiniens, vu du dessus, navigant sur une grande étendue aux couleurs bleu-rose. Dans son sillage sont formés les mots « Free Palestine » et on peut lire en haut : « release the Freedom Flotilla crew now ».

4-panel comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A lonely moon stands on a grassy hill under a night sky, howling “AWOOOOOOO.” Panel 2: The moon stops howling and appears to wait quietly. Panel 3: Other moons from nearby hills join in, also howling “AWOOOOOOOOOO.” Panel 4: A glowing yellow dogwolf appears in the sky, tongue out, floating like a summoned spirit.

Awoo!

We are either the generations that end fascism and corporatism forever or we are the generation that loses freedom for generations. This isn’t going to end without a massive, world wide fight for the future we want.

Concert incroyable, de mon côté j’ai regretté spiderbite song mais wow ça aurait pu keep going forever

Bonjour, beaucoup d’entre nous à @franceculture.fr et Radio France en général sommes en grève contre le projet de holding Radio France-France TV, qui n’assurera plus de budget propre à la radio, permettra les productions externes et la création de filiales, facilement « supprimables » à terme.

Miyazaki : "J'ai passé 50 ans à parler de la beauté de la nature et de l'importance de la préserver, entouré des meilleurs artistes du monde."
A.I.Bro: "Cool, j'ai volé tout ça et je viens de brûler cinq cent piscines de pétrole pour avoir des likes"
Les gens: "Hihi c'est rigolo je vais partager"

"What's the story I wanna tell?" is a much more pertinent question than "What world do I want to tell a story in?"

Personally I want to write about lesbians fighting a hostile world to be together forever; the choice of hostile world can vary and is largely secondary.

REFLECTIONS ON AI IN THE CLASSROOM: How We are Not Using Al in the Classroom By Sonja Drimmer & Christopher J. Nygren Premise Prompt engineering is a term that has become commonplace since the widespread availability of generative Al applications like ChatGPT. The idea is that the outputs of the large language models (LLMs) on which these applications are based are only as good as the prompts that are input: vague prompts result in equally vague outputs. And thus was born the race to train for careers in prompt engineering. Unfortunately, the bubble seems to have burst before even the first generation of students was trained for this career outcome. We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: "How are you using Al in the classroom?" While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagine—refusing the prompt.”

Love to refuse a prompt. static1.squarespace.com/static/53a4b...

I wish students could experience how interesting writing (and reading!) can be, the sooner the better. The degree to which they've internalized these actions as purely instrumental and for the purposes of proving proficiency to a standard or authority is a problem.
