As an experiment, I asked chatGPT to summarise a really great paper I'd just read. It completely missed the main points of the paper. It took some keywords and turned them into reasonable sentences, but they did not relate to the paper, and they didn't really mean anything.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Taqwa. Taqwa has one of the hardest stories of any person I’ve shared. The building where she was staying with her family, including her six kids was bombed and she was the only survivor. She is now pregnant again and needs help.

Imagine if wages / income were decent enough for us to engage human helpers, thus leading to a circular economy. Imagine if worldwide education was free all the way to higher Ed, and it focused on nurturing existing natural human intelligence. I want human art and research summary. Not AI.

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately. We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice. Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie oecd.ai/en/wonk/how-...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

If someone can donate $50, I'll match it. I am so broke and can't donate more so I really hope people will share and support

Global warming is a technological advancement. Global warming is happening because technology does not naturally equal progress, ethics, or ecological balance. Stop saying they ignore the science. They are using the science. Global warming is part of what you get from science under capitalism.

Hello. Most of what I do on Bluesky is share fundraisers, especially from people struggling to survive in Palestine. I also often share articles and other people's posts about anything I think is interesting, make jokes, and one day I will start posting about music education.

It's true, as a European when I meet someone who acts American but says they're Canadian I just think "ah that's why they talk funny and don't know anything, but sure aren't they a friend for all that"

Tomorrow Elon Musk will further seek to destabilise European politics by rigging the algorithms to provide a huge boost to the leader of Germany's modern fascist party in advance of Germany's federal election. The EU simply has to take emergency action to exclude X. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Same old story. A pity they can't seem to take all those fines out of his paycheque (not that it would last long at €1400 a day)

I never expect big names to follow me back, but when they HAD followed me back and then I see that they unfollowed, it makes me sad. Was it the reference to fascism in Wicked? The bone magic? ☹️

This post about the challenges of living in a commune nails it. Managing people who are determined to mooch and swan is impossible. The laziest most ignorant sack of potatoes will say he's a genius, contribute nothing, everyone believes him and if you try to make him contribute you're the bad guy
