10 years ago I read This Changes Everything by @naomiaklein.bsky.social I was amazed and felt anxious at the same time thinking about our planet's future. Today I've finally started reading Doppelganger. Once again I am amazed by Klein's writing and anxious thinking about AI etc. A must read.

One of the strangest conceits of AI-in-the-classroom boosterism is the idea that one can learn to ask good questions without working through the material about which one is asking questions.
