In short, AI is fundamentally anti-human and should not exist.

Identifying flaws in GenAI unfortunately offers a pretext for claims that perfecting the product is just a matter of time & money. So pointing to chatbots’ role in,say, suicides can only go so far if we don’t also identify the systemic, irresolvable lack of Gen AI’s human commitment bc math has none

You only argue that kids should be exposed to this because you believe the children matter less than the tech

of course there is

me at the end of class: here's a little speculative exercises; imagine you wake up from cryosleep in 2085. what's the kind of tech-society r/ship you'd like to see around you?

students: no AI

I honestly think students' views are missing from the 'should AI be integrated in classrooms' discussion

bingo

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

you can ask an improv group to do a bit about doctors, but it will not teach you anything about what it's like to be a doctor

By critical I don't mean "here's how you use genAI responsibly in schools." I'm looking for "genAI should not be anywhere near K-12 education" and "genAI is actively harmful to K-12 education."

OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

In an interview with a Palestinian asylum-seeker he told me he turned off his phone & wrapped it to avoid cyber surveillance tech, which was developed by Israel & tested on him & which has just been bought by ICE to use on Americans.

"None of us are free until all are free" is not a slogan.

ffffffffffffff

Tesla shareholders voted to offer Elon a trillion dollar incentive.

But whether he gets it or not is up to us.

He's gotta sell millions of cars and robots to bring in that ungodly sum. If you want to block it, join us in the streets #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

No, no it cannot. Looks like we need to re-up our paper @jevan.bsky.social

Bad AI supplanting human expertise is an issue that transcends any one field, but man—not many people on earth whose knowledge and dedication deserves respect like LIBRARIANS.

it is now possible to transfer your spotify playlists seamlessly to other listening apps btw

You mean ...the ban based on cherry picked science from a popular US science book, that the government rushed through, buoyed by campaigns in the Murdoch Press and by morning radio hosts, that enables mass surveillance for all Australians to access the ban? Can't think why Roblox got away with it!

Probably because the ban has absolutely nothing to do with child safety whatsoever, it is about limiting and controlling access to information for young people, as well as slowly forcing everyone to adopt a digital ID. The whole thing is an absurd farce that’s going to fail in spectacular fashion.

This times a bersquillion. People need other people to hear them, understand them, believe them. Otherwise we may as well all be fridges connected intermittently to the internet for no apparent reason.

(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

While reading this Wired article I smiled at the fact that TRAFFIC was a chief complaint from neighbours about Mark's illegal school and thought of @tressiemcphd.bsky.social. He might have gotten away with it if only he'd had a bus.

Bail Reform Has Made NYC Safer, Yet Another Study Confirms You wouldn't know it from talking to most public officials, but the 2019 reforms drove recidivism down.

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer.

Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality.

Fuck Waymo, Long Live KitKat A self-driving car killed a beloved SF cat. It’s part of a long history of tech companies using the Bay as a testing ground at our expense. People have had enough.

Fuck Waymo—Long Live Kit Kat!

A self-driving car killed a beloved SF cat. Kit Kat's murder fits into the long history of tech companies using the Bay as a testing ground — at our expense. But the Bay has had enough.

okay, now let's hear from people who don't have millions of dollars in tech company stocks still vesting

So. To recap. Discord, a company NOT included in Australia's social media age restriction law, had its age verification partner breached and leaked around 68,000 Australian PII details. Even though it isn't included in the ban. Which hasn't started yet. Such a great start before we've even started.

Seeing this bubble grow from the front row and yelling into the void as we head towards 2008 part deux is making me lose my mind.
