This week in teaching first-year writing with #genAI, I pit my English 101 students against #DeepSeek, with #Claude as a judge. I see more support for my “curling iron” approach to being the human in the loop. What do you think? Did my students beat DeepSeek? lizalong.substack.com/p/invent-the...

I realized Trump was going to win the election on 10/8/24, when I attended the OpenAI educator forum in NYC. I work with AI tools a LOT. As Salvaggio notes, Musk is “banking on a popular but false delusion that word prediction technologies make meaningful inferences about the world.” (They don’t)

This is so extraordinarily sharp & while the able skewering of a person who wrote phenomenally stupid things is very satisfying, the way Chu articulates “the far center” & “reactionary liberal” absolutely knocked the wind out of me. I feel like my soul’s pH has been nourishingly rebalanced.

All this administration does is put every single nonprofit and institution into a trolley problem of either sacrificing trans people or hurting everyone else by eliminating federal funding. It won't end with us. They'll do this with every minority until it's only white men who are left.

A) it’s awful. B) it’s meant to distract the media from Musk and his hostile takeover of the U.S. government.

The first step to making America great again is apparently destroying our nation’s lead in science and technology and putting large swaths of people out of work. It’s great how many people didn’t believe they would do what they said they would. #ombmemo

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

#Deepseek =wow. Took me all day to get in but I’m impressed so far. Also cannot suppress my amusement that this lower cost open source LLM resulted from an American attempt to control Chinese #AI development.

So nice of CWI to include this write up of my AI work in their 2024 report! But I am DYING that the quote about the importance of authentic writing in the age of #AI (from my blog) was actually written by the Liza Long Persona Bot, a custom GPT I trained to write like me 😂😂😂.

The recent policy shifts by Meta appear to prioritize corporate expediency over the public good and starkly conflict with the protections mandated by the European Union’s regulatory framework, writes Maria Koomen of @cfg-thinktank.bsky.social and a founding member of Women Against Fascism.

My first apartment as a newlywed on Sunset Blvd. My beloved piano teacher’s house where we had a baby shower for my first child. The church where I played the organ every Sunday. Gone. Thinking of those who have lost more than memories. #PacificPalisadesFire

Like many people who have used Meta social media for years, I’m exploring how to exit those platforms. I’ve definitely built a community there—but I don’t miss Twitter (left in 2023). These companies need to realize they can’t treat us like crap and continue to exploit our data.
