Very concerned by the teacher who thinks AI is ok for brainstorming and editing, and that only writing is where individual thinking needs to be expressed. Ofc another teacher slams this fantasy, noting that students are using it for every stage.

This is a real source of despair for me & my work right now. I hate hate (almost) every paragraph of this godforsaken article.

But please. Continue telling us how “there’s no evidence” and we need longitudinal studies to prove what is plainly evident to anyone working with students.

Any teacher who's getting students to outsource thinking to an AI is bad at their job. Full stop. And that one teacher complaining her students' work is "stale"? WTF? Rather than teaching them how to think & write more creatively, she's teaching them to just stop thinking entirely. Seriously, WTAF?

Humans care for the rich, robots are forced on the poor. The neoliberal fantasy of the oligarchs is coming to fruition by the way of austerity measures and spending cuts. Why pay for actual human support if a robot can tick the checkbox.

Okay this article is completely insane. OpenAI is going to make more than its entire subscription revenue from 2024 (they spent $9bn to lose $5bn in 2024 btw) - $3 billion - selling “agents”? OpenAI doesn’t have a functional agent product! It doesn’t exist! What the hell is going on?

Wonder if this guy knows all those people traded in their "fuck Trudeau" signage for "fuck Trump". Our government isn't the one constantly threating to invade and annex us. Our government is not our enemy. Yours is.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

OpenAI isn't on the path to becoming a for profit company! They spent $9 billion to lose $5 billion last year! And if you think Sam Altman is some virtuous guy being pushed around by venture capitalists you are a god damn mark, holy shit

Incredible to me that anyone ever believed or credulously repeated the notion that this was about cutting waste or fraud It’s always been an ideologically motivated attack on federal capacity. We don’t need to believe or repeat obvious lies

What’s so funny about this post is to come to this conclusion, you have to ignore a mountain of empirical evidence attesting to Elon’s below-average intelligence. Nate’s ✨whole thing✨ is Bayesian inference! Empiricism! Measuring the observable! The only way in 2025 to call Elon a genius is to lie!

If you live in Wisconsin, you need to get involved with Susan Crawford's campaign now. Far-right activists have been talking about this race since November. If you live out of state, consider phone banking for crawford or throwing dough to her campaign or grassroots groups organizing for her.

I’ve spent a lot of time irl with Udon employees, not including Matt Moylan, but he is kinda the only one who is weird and insane like this. And it confuses me that he would post something like this when so many of their staff/artists who make the company what it is are openly LGBT/POC

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is very much a good point. We caught a witness testifying to UK Parliament that they need fair use like in the US allowing them to train on the entirety of the web. That was false testimony about the law in the US. So your point is valid.

The rise of gen AI, backed at every level by the far-right, suggests the arrival of an _anti-information_ age. AI offers a self-reinforcing bullshit loop that, much like a Russian disinfo operation, serves to muddy the information space and create doubt about the very nature of reality.
