Wonderful piece about Agnes Frimston, who I still think about and miss every day, from @jonnelledge.bsky.social as we approach the second anniversary of her death.

According to this flat-out terrifying article, 500 million people are using ChatGPT. And it’s in schools now. This is so dangerous, and governments are miles behind on any kind of meaningful regulation. In fact, most of them seem to be in thrall to it.

"Islamophobia is central to the idea of nativism. Its embedded premise is each country’s “native” population has to have more children, or else they will be outbred by Muslims – It is a dehumanising and conspiratorial rationale which should not be forgotten when considering individual policies."
