Earlier this month, WIRED reported on Grammarly’s controversial AI tool that presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics, without their consent.
Now Grammarly parent company Superhuman is facing a class action lawsuit over the tool.

One of their data security strategies is to keep all the back ups in a Honda Fit that is driving for 23 hours a day.
I'm just going to sit here and enjoy this all afternoon.
Graded my students' group projects today and one team went full fan-fiction. This has been one of the most hilarious things I've read in month. Like, coffee up the nose snorting with laughter hard.
Also they demonstrated having learned a ton about data management.
"Nonetheless, the company’s use of people’s names without their sign-off became a bitter flashpoint in the AI discourse."
They've moved around all the various settings and I just need some basics.
Like let me forever and ever ban AI companion.

Thank you! I swear it wasn't there the first time I looked.

I use Zoom for my office hours and I need that noise
I had someone ask me to edit his paper -- something I often do for junior colleagues. The paper was over 50% generated slop and it was obvious. I did not make it through a first read. If he couldn't be bothered to write it, why should I spend time editing.
As I have said.... It's MORE work

When I read Jane Eyre, I'd read a chapter and then wander off for a week. It worked much better as a serial. (I still don't particularly care for any of the Brontes)
Best response I've seen so far from @moryan.bsky.social www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
No, Evanston. But need the same umbrellas tonight!
@madopal.bsky.social hi neighbor!
Shotgun cracks of thunder with lightning forks lighting up my whole apartment. I hope no one is out on the lake in this.
Downpour has started

She might be on insta... Let me go look
I have questions about the trademark implications of what Grammarly is trying to do with the "experts" nonsense when it tries to use the affiliation of the person while defining their expertise.
First crash of thunder in Evanston.
Today's book purchase is because @mostlybree.kitrocha.com is so excited about the second one.
Email I just sent a colleague where he's following up with a vendor:
On a scale of 1-5 weasels....
It makes me angry that my institution pays for a subscription
We want to pretend to have Experts and use all of their labor and innovation but not to have to pay them or get their actual buy in. Never mind that a significant number of users will then blame those experts if something were to go sideways.
What fundraising handbook, in the year 2026, still suggests cold calling people?
Small Gray Cat in the kitchen with her evening snack: this is unacceptable I don't even LIKE this food.
Small Gray Cat, same food, moved to my office: SNARF
(She also has to finish her evening meds over two bites of organic canned chicken before she is allowed out of my office again)
